During the interview, Aniston got teary while discussing Theroux's proposal.

"I just got verklempt," Aniston said while wiping tears from her eyes, according to E! News.

"He's the greatest guy ever," Handler told her. "You guys make the greatest couple ever."

Aniston nodded while giving Handler a big smile.

In August, Theroux's rep announced the news of the proposal with a statement to People: "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage."

She recently flashed her engagement ring for the first time while with Theroux in Santa Fe, N.M. Forevermark Diamond expert Adelaide Polk-Bauman told The Hollywood Reporter that Aniston's diamond looked to be approximately 12 to 14 carats and estimated the ring's value at more than $1 million, but there's no word yet on who designed it.

Aniston was previously wed to Brad Pitt; their five-year marriage ended in 2005.

Before dating Aniston, Theroux was in a longtime relationship with costume designer Heidi Bivens.

The couple met on the set of Wanderlust.
