Ellen DeGeneres can be defined by many words, obviously with "hilarious" being the first one to come to mind. But what really makes the funny lady so special isn't how often she makes us laugh, but how big her heart is.
You only need to watch one episode of her daytime talk show to see how much kindness Ellen spreads across her audience and guests on top of all the jokes and dance moves. It's sweet gestures, like the time she gave two teachers plenty of funds for their upcoming wedding, that inspire her fans to be as generous to the people in their lives.
So when she saw the breathtaking reaction one new father had to his mom's surprise visit for the first time in 10 years, Ellen knew she had to meet the man and his family to hear more about the beautiful moment.
However, after inviting Jeffrey and his girlfriend Shannon, who helped arrange the family reunion, to her legendary stage, the big guy had a favor to ask of her: help him turn the tables on Shannon with an unexpected proposal!
With his mom sitting in the front row, you can tell she was just as taken aback by her son suddenly getting down on one knee.
And, of course, Ellen had more hiding up her sleeve, too!
Take a look below to see all of the emotional surprises.
And be sure to SHARE this touching family with your loved ones!
