Let’s talk about one of the sweetest moments you’ll see all year. Ellen DeGeneres, the beloved talk show host, decided to give her mom, Betty DeGeneres, a haircut as a special birthday gift for turning 90. And guess what? She didn’t just do it quietly—no, no, no. She filmed the whole thing and shared it with the world on Twitter. Now that’s what I call making memories!
Mom's Reaction to the Big Cut
Now, picture this: Betty, sitting there in her chair, probably wondering what she’s gotten herself into. As Ellen, who’s 62 by the way, starts trimming away, Betty can’t help but joke around. “Why am I letting her do this?” she hilariously quips in the video. It’s clear Betty’s a little nervous, and Ellen notices right away. She reassures her mom with a comforting tone, saying, “It’s not that short, Mother, it’s just taking the edges off. I promise you.” Can you feel the love in that room? It’s palpable.
As Ellen continues trimming away, Betty starts to sing softly to herself, which is just the cutest thing ever. “Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me,” she hums quietly. But then she gets a little concerned. “You don’t want to use scissors?” she asks, maybe thinking about how far this haircut might go. Ellen, being the comedian she is, reassures her mom with a joke, saying, “Ah, believe me. You don’t want me to use scissors.” Talk about keeping the mood light and fun!

The Big Reveal: How Did Betty Feel About Her New Look?
When it finally came time for Betty to see the results of Ellen’s handiwork, she got up from her chair and made her way to the mirror. “Do you like it?” Ellen asked, clearly eager to see her mom’s reaction. But Betty wasn’t quite ready to commit. “No, not yet, but when I wash it,” she said, giving it some thought. Then, after taking a second look, she exclaimed, “Oh, you really cut it short.” And that’s where we all burst into laughter because, honestly, isn’t that the reaction we’d all have?
A Special Bond Between Mother and Daughter
Ellen and her mom share a bond that’s truly special. Sure, they’ve had their disagreements over the years, but at the end of the day, they’re each other’s biggest supporters. Once Ellen started her iconic talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," back in 2003, she made a conscious decision to bring her mom closer. She moved Betty from Louisiana to California so they could be near each other. “That’s why she moved me,” Betty once told Us Weekly in 2019. Ellen even went the extra mile by buying her mom a condo in Sierra Towers in Los Angeles. But hey, commuting every day was no picnic, so Ellen upgraded Betty’s living situation by buying her a house just two blocks from the studio. Now that’s what I call dedication!
