Only a few hours ago, Paris announced she and her husband Carter Reum had welcomed a child via surrogate, leaving the social media world in shock.

Paris told People: "We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down.
"We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, 'This is perfect timing. Usually, I'm on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let's just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,' and we have tons of them just waiting."
In an interview with E! News in November, Paris' mum Kathy opened up about the star's apparent struggle to get pregnant.

But following that interview, Paris flat out denied the claims made by her mum that she was struggling to conceive via IVF.
Speaking to TMZ, the 41-year-old said that she has 'never' struggled with IVF, adding: "I have tons of embryos that are waiting, we've been stocking up on a lot of them.
"I don't know where she got that, it's never been a struggle at all."
