AceShowbiz - It seems even high-profile personalities aren't immune to the allure of free perks. On a recent episode of "Today with Jenna & Friends", co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Tyra Banks revealed that they've both resorted to fibbing to enhance their experiences while traveling.

The conversation was sparked by a viral video of a California couple who claimed they faked a proposal to snag free drinks at a Hawaiian resort.

Taking a trip down memory lane, Tyra Banks, 51, shared an amusing anecdote from a family trip to Dubai. She recalled, "Okay, so my mom had a birthday many years ago, and we were in Dubai with my man, and he proceeded to say her birthday was going on for two weeks."

This led to two weeks of celebratory surprises. "And for two weeks, it was people coming in with flowers and cakes and the fire and the Champagne." Looking back, she laughed, "So guilty, family. Super guilty."

Not to be outdone, Jenna Bush Hager, 43, chimed in with her own story. "I've done it," she confessed. "Well, my cousin pretended to propose to me, which sounds nasty," she continued, explaining that it was all in good fun.

"Look! That's us!" she pointed out as a throwback photo of her and her cousin Sam LeBlond appeared onscreen. Banks humorously noted, "He looks like your cousin." Bush Hager emphasized, "We weren't 18. We did it kind of for laughs - and for dessert."

"By the way, everybody's faked a birthday if we're honest," Bush Hager defended their playful deceptions as something many of us have indulged in at some point.

From celebrities to everyday individuals, it appears the temptation to embellish the truth for a special treat is a common thread. Who knows? The next time you spot someone celebrating an extra-long birthday or an impromptu proposal, it might be more about fun and freebies than pure occasion.
