Surprise!
What?
Hey, guys, I'm Ashley Graham.
And I am a model, designer, body activist.
And I am so proud of who I am today and what I've overcome.
Because it wasn't easy.
And now, I get to help people gain the confidence that they
need to take the next step in their life,
to be totally, unapologetically fearless.
It's going to be a great day, today!
This is Seth, single dad of four.
Well,
If you wore it to school yesterday,
you can't wear it today.
You're not having whipped cream for breakfast, kiddo.
You can not wear those shorts!
It can be mentally exhausting.
But these are going to be some of my favorite times.
These kids really want him to find a wife.
Dating is a challenge.
I pull up in my minivan, and like, what's up.
There's not much free time.
And then, it affects their lives, too.
It's just a lot to consider.
Seth needs the confidence to fully jump in.
So Total Wireless and I are going
to help him take this next step.
OK, so you're a dad of four.
Tell me what it's like!
It's just really fun.
At first, it was real stressful, kind of.
Finally, you just kind of sit there.
And then you just do it.
You just have to do it because you're a dad.
If you just have to do something, then you do it.
So are you dating?
Have you been thinking about dating?
Yes.
What's her name?
Sarah.
Where is she from?
She's from Philadelphia.
How did you meet?
I have a blog.
OK, so you met on the blog?
Well, she messaged me.
She rolled up into your DMs?
Yeah yeah.
So do you feel like there's potential there with Sarah?
Yeah.
What is it that you like about her?
She get's stuff done.
I think that's very attractive.
That is attractive.
Because she's a single mom.
And she just gets it done, man.
And she works.
She does her single mom thing.
And she just does life.
That's a lot of kids.
Yeah, yeah, it's seven, one more than the Brady Bunch.
We figured out the combined ages are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 10.
Wow.
That's fun.
Wow.
But it's still a lot.
What are your real concerns walking into this?
My kids have FaceTimed her and her kids.
So they know each other pretty well now.
But in transition from single dad to a possibly
blended family, it's not just dating someone,
like, oh, my gosh, she's cute.
Let's take her out.
There's a lot of people to consider.
There are.
And there's a lot of little people
that, their lives are going to be changed.
They might be living with this person, they're a step-parent.
Plus, we've both been through divorces.
So it's worst, man.
It is the worst.
OK, so there's actually something I want to show you.
Role it, please.
Drum solo!
All right, we're done.
I submitted my dad.
You need to marry [INAUDIBLE] Miss Sarah!
What I love about my dad is that he's really caring.
And he plans as the best things.
I love you, Daddy!
First impression of him was, this
is an amazing dad, not just as a single dad,
but just a dad, period.
In our family, we don't go around problems.
We go through them.
And it's been amazing for me to see something
that I so badly want to impart into my kids,
that Seth just completely embodies that.
If there's one thing that I could say to Seth right now,
it would be, thank you.
Because I didn't realize what was missing from my life
until you came.
And you've brightened it.
And I hope that I've done the same for you.
Because you deserve it.
Yay!
Oh, my gosh.
That was the best surprise.
I love it.
Oh, my god!
That was real sweet.
I loved it.
My kids are so cool.
And Sarah is the best.
First of all, she's beautiful.
Second of all, she has such nice things to say about you.
She's-- kind of sounds like she's in love with you.
I think she is, yeah.
Do you think you're in love with her?
You are?
Mm-hm.
Well, it sounds like the kids are ready for you
to make some moves.
Yeah, they are.
They are.
OK, let's bring the kids out.
[INAUDIBLE], Daddy.
Hey, guys!
Hi, guys!
Hi!
I got to actually spend some really quality time
with your dad.
He's a really great guy.
Yeah, he is the best daddy.
I almost forgot, come on out!
Surprise!
What?
Oh, my gosh, what?
What are you doing here?
We came to surprise you!
I didn't know that you were coming?
I knew you didn't!
How did you keep that a secret?
Hi!
We did it!
You guys, wait, I almost forgot something.
You guys are going to be going to Disneyland!
What?
And you have to leave now.
Because tonight, you're spending the night
at the Disneyland Hotel!
What?
You get a ticket!
Kiss!
Yay!
That was such a good idea!
I honestly don't think this could have gone any better.
OK, everybody scream, "Ellen!"
Ellen!
Sarah is amazing.
This experience, I think it's really
helped me realize how I feel about her, that I love her.
