Ally Shapiro, daughter of former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin, might be saying “hiiiiiii” to a new romance with Leo Braudy, a Season 7 cast member from Love Is Blind who was unsuccessful at finding love.
The buzz began in December when Ally and Leo were first seen together at an event. Since then, Ally has further fueled the speculation by sharing several Instagram photos with Leo.
Ally Shapiro and Leo Braudy were first spotted together at Art Basel in Miami
Ally and Leo appeared together at Art Basel in Miami in December. On January 23, Ally set the rumor mill spinning by sharing some pics of her life lately on Instagram. One picture showed her and Leo playing tennis, while another captured a sunset boat ride in Florida. She captioned the post with “muah muah muah,” kissy faces, a nod to one of Leo’s cringy memorable Love Is Blind lines. Leo added to the fodder by commenting, “*mwah mwah mwah.”
Jill joined the conversation with her own playful comment, “Hi Braudy Bunch,” accompanied by a heart emoji.
Leo has also made a few other appearances on Ally’s Insta-grid. This potential relationship comes shortly after Ally ended her engagement to Jordan Bilfeld, a director at VaynerMedia. The pair got engaged during a September trip to Mallorca, but they decided to call it off in October.
Jill addressed the breakup at the time, stating, “After much reflection, [they have] made the difficult decision to end their engagement… We appreciate your understanding and request privacy on this personal matter.”
Since the split, Ally has embraced fresh starts. She moved into a new studio apartment with help from her mom and has actively shared updates on her life through social media.
Neither Ally nor Leo has confirmed their relationship status, so we’ll just have to wait and see if Leo ends up with the burden of having the likes of Jill Zarin as his mother-in-law.
Old seasons of The Real Housewives of New York stream on Peacock, and Love Is Blind streams on Netflix.
