Bella's first meeting with Locky, which was filmed months ago, appeared to be hard for some of the guests at the viewing party to watch.
Footage shared to Instagram by one of Bella's friends showed her mother, Kim, choking back tears with a bunch of tissues at the ready.
The scene may have been emotional for the Varelis family, as Bella referenced on the show a heart necklace given to her by her father when she was younger.
