In a video shared on Instagram, a nurse carries Ace over to his mother. Bell, still dazed from labor, squints to read the words printed on his outfit. "What? What does that say? she asks."
"Then Bell turns her head, and there is Kimbrough - her boyfriend of three years - kneeling beside her hospital bed, a small box in his hand. Her mouth falls open, and after a brief moment of realization, she gasps an exhausted but elated, "Oh my God. Yes." "I was completely shocked. We knew we were going to get engaged, but that was a big surprise!" Bell tells TODAY.
