Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, is officially engaged! The 31-year-old shared the exciting news on her Instagram Stories on Friday, Aug. 16, posting a photo with her new fiancé, Jordan Bilfeld.
In the picture, the couple is all smiles as Shapiro proudly shows off her sparkling diamond engagement ring. The photo, taken indoors, features a vibrant animated caption that reads, “OMG.”
Jill Zarin, 60, expressed her joy over her daughter’s engagement by sharing a video she captured of the proposal. She explained that the special moment occurred during a family cruise in Europe.
The video, filmed from a restaurant balcony, shows guests clapping as they witness Shapiro and Bilfeld’s engagement near an outdoor swimming pool. A photographer was also present to capture the unforgettable moment.
“I am speechless!” Zarin wrote in her caption. “Gary, Ally, Jordan, and I have spent the last week on a Celebrity Cruise in Europe, and we get off tomorrow.
After lunch, Jordan asked Ally to go for a walk on the beach … mind you, this was after it poured for 30 minutes.”
The Real Housewives of New York alum continued, “Gary and I were just waiting for the check. We heard cheering and clapping, so I started clapping too. I walked over to the railing, and guess who just got engaged??? Surprise!!!!”
“Mazel Tov to my beautiful daughter and her FIANCÉ, Jordan Bilfeld. We couldn’t be happier to welcome him and his family into ours,” she added, noting that she is “still in shock” and had “ZERO clue” about the proposal beforehand.
On her Instagram Stories, Shapiro shared more of her reaction, posting a photo of herself with her hand covering her mouth in shock, her new ring sparkling in the light, as she sat on a balcony overlooking the sea.
Another photo showed Shapiro and Bilfeld sharing a kiss on what appeared to be the deck of the boat, with the sun setting beautifully in the background.
Shapiro also shared a clip taken just before the proposal, where she was casually sipping a cocktail at a restaurant, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
“5 minutes before I was proposed to,” she captioned the video. “It was pouring, and I was drinking my spritz, completely clueless.”
