As far as husbands go, it doesn’t get much better than Aaron Paul.

In an episode of “Ellen” that aired Tuesday, the “Breaking Bad” actor told the host how he pulled off an epic surprise for his wife Lauren Parsekian’s 30th birthday in December.

Paul told Parsekian that the two of them were going on a romantic getaway to Thailand ― but little did she know that her husband had secretly flown out a bunch of her best friends to join them on the trip.

“They were in the back of the plane,” Paul told DeGeneres. “She had no idea that they were back there. So when she was sleeping, I would sneak in the back and have drinks with them.”

Adorned in party hats, her friends surprised her at the Hong Kong airport, a moment you can see in the video above.

“She kept saying how excited she was to go on a trip just her and I,” Paul added. “And I’m like, ‘Oh no this is gonna backfire on me.’ But it all worked out.”

The couple tied the knot in 2013 in Parisian carnival-themed wedding in Malibu, California, after first meeting at Coachella. Over the years, Paul has publicly gushed about his wife, who he calls his “pretty bird,” time and time again.

“Let me tell you, my friend, I will be in the honeymoon phase until I leave this planet,” Paul told People in 2013. “Getting married to Lauren was the greatest accomplishment of my life.”
