One of the greatest things about the reboot of Queer Eye is the numerous, heartwarming tales of self-acceptance.

It's especially apparent in episode four's AJ, a gay black man who was struggling to come out to his family. Of course, there was a happy ending: AJ came out to his stepmother in a moment that made us bawl.

Well, we hope you've saved some tears, because it's been announced that AJ got engaged to his partner Drey, as per Queer Eye's tweet on Thursday. Yesssssss.

It seriously is the best news we've heard all week. Here's how people reacted to it, and by reacted we mean seriously cried.

Go get him AJ. Can we see the wedding photos though, please?
