RHONY alum Jill Zarin's daughter Ally Shapiro reveals she is ENGAGED during family getaway to Europe

As I delve into the heartwarming tale of Jill Zarin and her family, it’s impossible not to be touched by the joyous occasion that unfolded recently. The engagement of her daughter, Ally, is indeed a momentous event for any parent, but for someone like Jill, who has graced our screens on “The Real Housewives of New York City” and shared her life’s ups and downs with us, it holds a special significance.


Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, joyfully disclosed that she got engaged following an unexpected proposal while vacationing in Europe with her future spouse, Jordan Bilfeld, and relatives.

Previously from RHONY and now aged 60, the woman – who recently reconnected with fellow castmate Bethenny Frankel in the Hamptons – accompanied her daughter (age 31) on a notable vacation. Alongside them was her companion, Gary Brody.

On Friday, Shapiro took to her Instagram stories to share the news of her engagement that took place in Spain. She was also seen wearing a beautiful, diamond ring on her hand.

Initially, the businesswoman and Mr. Bilfeld, who heads a media firm, stopped briefly to take a selfie together. Their faces lit up with joy as they grinned at the camera.

Ally displayed her left hand with the shining diamond ring as a GIF of ‘Wow!’ popped up on the screen.

As a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that capturing authentic moments like these are the epitome of social media success. Showcasing daily routines in an engaging and relatable manner is key to building a genuine connection with followers. In this particular instance, our model exudes a sense of tranquility and mystery as she flaunts her new ring, wrapping a white towel around her head and lounging comfortably in a robe. It’s these intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpses into people’s lives that truly resonate with audiences and foster a sense of community.

She appeared to be standing on a balcony as a scenic view of rippling water and buildings could be seen in the far distance. 

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share an exciting moment I recently witnessed. Moments before Jordan proposed, I happened to capture a heartwarming video snippet, just minutes before the magical question was popped.

As she enjoyed a cool beverage, she penned down, ‘Five minutes earlier, I had no idea a proposal was coming; instead, I was sipping on a spritz while it was raining heavily.’

Rapidly, Ally spread the latest update among her intimate circle, also including a couple of snapshots from their video chats on Facetime.

In this instance, the lovebirds stood together, with Shapiro showing off her ring-bearing hand, while her friend penned, “My dearest friends are now engaged!! 🎉 @allyshapiro @jbilfeld.”

A new photo was snapped while Ally and Jordan exchanged a loving kiss as the sun dipped below the horizon. She labeled her future spouse with a heart emoji.

Following the momentous occasion, I couldn’t help but capture a close-up shot of my new sparkler on my finger – a perfect symbol of happiness and new beginnings. ‘#BestWeekEver @jbilfeld #CelebrityCruises’ (As a lifestyle expert, I would recommend this as it conveys excitement about the event and the brand endorsement subtly.)

It’s uncertain when the newly-engaged couple started dating, but they made their relationship public on Instagram as early as May 2022.

It appeared as though Jill, her mother and travel companion alongside Gary Brody, was unaware of the upcoming proposal. Upon learning about it, she expressed shock but also shared her joy for the happy couple.

Previously known Real Housewives of New York City star promptly posted a brief clip on her primary Instagram account, mere moments following Jordan’s proposal.

At a swimming pool, Shapiro and Bilfeld were spotted warmly hugging each other, all the while a photographer captured significant moments of their special occasion. The crowd around them cheered as they witnessed the heartwarming public proposal.

She excitedly shared with her followers that she and Gary, Ally, and Jordan had been cruising around Europe for a whole week on a Celebrity ship, and they disembark the following day.

Following our meal, Jordan suggested that Ally and he take a stroll along the beach, but keep in mind that it had rained heavily for about half an hour earlier. Gary and I are simply waiting for the bill to arrive.

As a devoted follower, I was thrilled when it was announced, “Hear the applause and cheers! I joined in the clapping myself, curious to peer over the balcony. Who do you think just got engaged? A surprise indeed!”

Congratulations to my lovely daughter and her fiancé, Jordan Bilfeld! We’re overjoyed to have him and his family become a part of ours. I’m absolutely stunned – we had no idea this was coming!

I, as a lifestyle enthusiast, popped onto my Instagram stories recently to post a heartfelt video, delving deeper into the exciting news of my beloved daughter’s engagement.

As she sat comfortably on the bed, she shared, “I thought I’d let you know since you’ve just seen a video at Grand Foley, our lunch menu is ready.”

Approximately five minutes later, Jordan proposed to Ally while they were walking on the beach. I am utterly stunned by this unexpected turn of events as they have now become engaged.

As a seasoned observer of life’s grand moments, I couldn’t help but find myself caught up in the infectious energy that filled the room as everyone around me erupted into applause and cheers. “Who’s getting married?” I exclaimed with genuine curiosity, eager to join in the celebration and see who was tying the knot. With a dash of excitement coursing through my veins, I dashed over to get a closer look at the newly engaged couple, eager to share in their joy and be part of their special day.

She stated, “‘Jordan and Ally are with a photographer!’ I exclaim, surprised, and someone asks, ‘Who’s that?’ To which I respond, ‘That’s my daughter!'”

Wow, that’s quite a shock! Nevertheless, we’re genuinely happy for the couple. A bit taken aback, but still, it’s a pleasant surprise!

Before the upcoming proposal, both Jill and Ally have been quite active on their social media platforms, posting pictures from their summer vacation.

Zarin and her former husband, Steven Shapiro, co-parent their single child, Ally. They were married between 1987 to 1998, and Ally was born using a sperm donor during that time.

Afterward, the television figure got married to Bobby Zarin in the year 2000. They remained as husband and wife until his death in 2018 at the age of 71, after a long struggle against cancer.

Jill gained recognition by appearing regularly on the popular Bravo show, The Real Housewives of New York City, from 2008 to when she left in 2011.
