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.’

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.’
