Former Dancing With the Stars contestant and Cher's son Chaz Bono is letting the cameras in on his life again for the upcoming series Being Chaz on Oprah Winfrey's OWN—including letting the world in on his proposal to longtime girlfriend (and now fiancée!) Jennifer Elia.

Chaz proposes in a "special" way by not flat-out popping the question, but rather prefacing the big moment as a "birthday present."

Jennifer's reaction to the ring is almost speechless: "Wow. It's gorgeous. Thank you so much, it's stunning. It's huge!" Followed by a lighthearted: "heavy sh-t man!"

The series, which premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, follows up after the Emmy-nominated Becoming Chaz, the documentary detailing Chaz's transition from woman to man. The new show will feature everything from the proposal, to Chaz's preparation for Dancing With the Stars, and more.
