Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, excitedly revealed that she is engaged after a surprise proposal during a European getaway with her now-fiancé, Jordan Bilfeld, and family.
The RHONY alum, 60 – who recently reunited with her former castmate Bethenny Frankel in the Hamptons – joined her daughter, 31, on the memorable trip, as well as her partner, Gary Brody.
Shapiro jumped to her Instagram stories on Friday to announce the engagement – which occurred in Spain – and also flaunted a sparkling, diamond ring on her finger.
In the first snap, the businesswoman and Bilfeld – who is a director of a media agency – paused for a selfie as the couple flashed happy smiles towards the camera.
Ally held up her left hand to show the diamond sparkler while a GIF appeared on the screen that read, ‘OMG.’

Another image was taken as she wore a comfy robe while a white towel was wrapped around her head. Her hand was placed over her mouth as she showcased the ring once again to her followers.
She appeared to be standing on a balcony as a scenic view of rippling water and buildings could be seen in the far distance.
The media personality also included a short reel that was taken only minutes before Jordan popped the big question.
While sipping on a refreshing drink, she wrote, ‘5 min before i was getting proposed to it was pouring and i was drinking my spritz. completely clueless.’

Although it is not known when the newly-engaged pair began dating, the two went Instagram official back in May 2022.
Her mother, Jill, who is also on the trip with her boyfriend, Gary Brody, seemingly did not know of the proposal. And while being ‘shocked,’ the star revealed that she is ‘thrilled for the couple.’
The former RHONY star took to her main Instagram page to share a snippet just moments after Jordan had popped the question.
Shapiro and Bilfeld could be seen embracing near a swimming pool while a photographer snapped memorable photos of the special milestone. Other people could be heard applauding as they watched the public proposal.
‘I am speechless! Gary, Ally and Jordan and I have spent the last week on a Celebrity Cruise in Europe and we get off tomorrow,’ she explained to her fans.
‘After lunch Jordan asked Ally to go for a walk on the beach.. mind you after it poured for 30 minutes. Gary and I are just waiting for the check to come.’
She revealed that they then heard, ‘cheering and clapping and I started clapping and walk over to see over the railing and guess who just got engaged??? Surprise!!!!’
‘Mazel Tov to my beautiful daughter and her FIANCÉ Jordan Bilfeld. We could not be happier to welcome him and his family to join ours. I am still in shock. We had ZERO clue.’
