Kelly Clarkson helped this sweet couple propose, proving love is far from dead

Spoiler: he said yes!

With a million unique proposals flooding the internet on a daily basis, it's hard to stand out—unless you're lucky enough to enlist the help of Kelly Clarkson.

The singer assisted some fans in making their marriage proposal one to remember at a recent meet and greet, and well, see how cute it is for yourself.

Alex Malerba proposed to his boyfriend Justin backstage with the singer, and the surprise went swimmingly (spoiler: he said yes!). Justin, who was under the assumption that the two were simply there to take pictures with Clarkson, began crying once Malerba popped the question.

“Oh my God, I’m so happy,” Clarkson exclaimed after Malerba got down on one knee. “I’m like a part of it. That was so beautiful. Congratulations.”

The three took photos again after the proposal went down.

After the couple told her they had been together for four years, Clarkson cracked a few jokes. “It’s about damn time somebody did it,” she said. “I’m like, ‘shit or get off the pot.’”

"Asking the love of my life to marry me in front of the one and only Kelly Clarkson was an amazing moment!!!!," he wrote on Instagram, where he shared photos of the experience.

Congrats to the happy couple!
