She continued that when it came to pulling out all the stops, she had been pulling no punches, describing a past birthday surprise for her Good Morning America anchor husband.

Ali shared her expectations for George for their anniversary

"He showed up, the guy at the desk said 'Room 16'. I was upstairs and only in a bathrobe. There was a fire going, and a birthday cake, and that was his happy birthday lunch."

The story got even funnier, however, when she added: "And then I did something which, I guess, is tacky. But it was a nice hotel, I called them and said 'Look, I only used the room for an hour. You guys can change the sheets and resell it, why don’t you give me a little discount?'

When Kelly asked if the mom-of-two thought her husband had learned from the experience, she simply responded: "We are going to find out in a couple of weeks.
