Jill Zarin's Daughter Ally May Have Found Love In Leo Braudy

Jill Zarin’s daughter may have found the apple of her eye.

Approximately three months following Ally Shapiro’s broken engagement with Jordan Bilfeld, she offered a peek into her current life through a series of pictures, featuring a heartwarming snapshot alongside Love is Blind alumnus Leo Braudy.

The pair, wearing white tennis outfits, struck a pose together on a court, each holding a racket. The excursion was a family-oriented event as Leo and Ally captured a selfie with the former ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ cast member and her partner, Gary Brody, in the reflection.

In the video, Leo playfully stuck out his tongue at the camera while on a boat. As the camera moved towards the water, he did this. The 32-year-old posted this on Instagram on January 22nd, accompanied by three emojis symbolizing kisses, and added, “or ‘muah muah muah.’

Leo and Ally’s vacation photos were recently shared, approximately two months following speculations about their blossoming relationship at Art Basel in Miami back in December. Interestingly, just two months before that, Leo was featured in the seventh season of a Netflix series, where he portrayed a love triangle with his co-stars Hannah Jiles and Brittany Wisniewski. By the end of the series, it became evident that true love had indeed put an end to the art dealer’s engagement with Brittany.

As for why the former couple decided to part ways?

Leo explained to People that it was a thought-through process all along, following the end of the season in October. At the start of our journey, there’s an exhilaration because you’ve never met this person before. There’s so much to discuss and you feel liberated.

After things became more calm, he said something like, “Alright, we’re here. You’re wearing my ring on your finger. Let’s discuss this,” he continued. During our journey, we had numerous talks and eventually agreed that a marriage wasn’t in the cards for us.

Despite leaving the show without a wife, the 31-year-old learned a valuable lesson about love.

He told Tudum then that he had never displayed so much emotion in such a brief period before, which was quite terrifying for him. However, it also exposed him to potential pain. Looking back, he understood that this was the only method through which he could discover someone who would be with him for the rest of his life, genuinely.

In the pods, Leo sought affection, whereas Ally called off her engagement with the digital marketing director about two months after he proposed.

Following careful thought, they chose to call off their engagement,” Jill stated to Page Six in October. “As a family, our priority now is to support Ally during this period. We kindly ask for patience and respect our need for privacy regarding this private issue.

Although Leo potentially discovered love outside of the “Love Is Blind” production, continue reading to explore all the romantic connections that both succeeded and failed to materialize on the program.

Initially, the well-known art dealer proposed marriage to the writer of “Keeping Well” after finding himself in a love triangle involving Hannah Jiles. However, following their brief engagement, they came to the conclusion that it was more beneficial for them to remain friends.

In their interview with People, Brittany expressed that the connection between her and Leo simply didn’t develop as expected. “Over time during our trip,” she said, “we both recognized that the chemistry wasn’t there and we came to this understanding amicably. We are open communicators, so this was not a complicated or stressful situation. It was a smooth, mutual acknowledgement.

Monica and Stephen’s romance abruptly ended when she found explicit text messages exchanged between her partner and another woman. These texts were quite suggestive, leading to their split shortly after they returned from Mexico. Regarding Stephen, he expressed remorse immediately during episode eight, but later posted an apology on his social media account following the broadcast of the episode.

He expressed his apologies on Instagram Stories on October 8th, saying, “I hope I didn’t make anyone’s day worse by being here,” and if he did, he regretted disturbing your peaceful morning. Unfortunately, I can’t change the fact that you had to wake up today. But rest assured, my feelings for all of you remain unchanged.

After Hannah and Nick stepped out of the pods, they experienced a mix of good times and challenges, including several disputes – to put it mildly. (“Equality is shown when one starts contributing equally.”)

The situation reached its peak when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, and for Nick, breaking up was “one of the most painful emotions I’ve ever experienced.

Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.

In one of her interviews for The Viall Files podcast in October, she stated: “I’ve picked up quite a bit, and I’ve realized there are areas I need to improve upon. For instance, I’m someone who’s straight-forward, but I understand my approach can be harsh at times. What I’ve discovered is that how one presents things truly matters.

A perfect pairing in the realm of scientific fate (those unexpectedly harmonious tattoos), Taylor and Garrett found an instant connection, and it appeared they were predestined to declare their love. However, they encountered a bump in the road when Taylor discovered that Garrett had replied to his ex’s DM (Garrett claimed he had confirmed he was engaged and put an end to it). Since then, their story has become reminiscent of the plot in “Love Is Blind.

The pair were still married at the Love Is Blind reunion in October 20224.

Indeed, you’ve understood correctly: Despite Marissa and Ramses becoming strong contenders among this season’s top couples, Ramses decided to cancel their wedding following some doubts he developed along the way.

Marissa expresses to her partner, “Our future looks incredibly promising, and I’d like to spend it with you by getting married.” To which he replies, “I comprehend that falling in love involves taking a chance, I fully acknowledge that.

In my own perspective, I’ve observed the disparities between us, particularly our views on military matters, which might not be compatible enough for a harmonious relationship. As someone who has experienced marriage and learned from others, I firmly believe that love alone isn’t sufficient. There should be additional factors contributing to a successful partnership.

Concerning Marissa, despite her attempts to move on from their viewpoint, when she realized it was all over, she couldn’t hold back the tears. “I wish you hadn’t come here,” she said to him. “How could I have been so certain? And yet you aren’t? It’s just awful; I want you to pick me,” she lamented about their separation. “This is the most miserable day of my life,” she concluded.

Tyler and Ashley quickly gained popularity among viewers as they showcased their casual romance. However, their relationship faced a challenge when Tyler revealed he had three children, a fact Ashley referred to as his “babies conceived through sperm donation.” (There’s ongoing debate about the extent of his parental role, which he has not commented on publicly).

By the time they gathered for their reunion in October 2024, Ashley and Tyler had managed to overcome this issue and didn’t just rekindle their relationship; they ended up tying the knot and becoming each other’s spouse.

Two months ago, we embarked on a transformative journey, and it has reshaped our existence in ways I never imagined,” I remark as I sit beside my beloved Ashley following our wedding ceremony. “From now on, we’ll share the rest of our days together.

Later on, Ashley disclosed that their marriage ended after more than a year, as they decided to part ways.

Following a good deal of thought, she expressed that Tyler and I have been apart for quite some time now and, regrettably, we’ve decided to terminate our marriage. She conveyed this news to People in a statement issued in January 2025. “Despite my hopes for mutual understanding and openness in our relationship, it has become evident that our goals are no longer compatible, which leaves me with no choice but to move on from this marriage.

Alex and Tim appeared to resolve their significant disagreement during their trip to Mexico, as evidenced by their improved relationship upon returning to Washington, D.C. They seemed closer than ever before. Intriguingly, Tim even had a heartfelt conversation with Alex’s father that seemed to secure their future bond.

After their meeting with Tim’s family, Alex and Tim had another disagreement which led to the termination of their engagement. Tim made it clear he didn’t want any further contact with Alex. Following their breakup, both have spoken up in defense, with Alex stating that their separation was not a joint decision.

Following several spats throughout the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to bury their differences prior to their wedding, as they spent a fun day at an amusement park together.

Jimmy communicated plainly that he felt it was time for their rollercoaster relationship to conclude, ending the engagement and leaving Chelsea visibly upset and shocked by his choice.

Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I adore you deeply and long for a committed relationship with you.” He added, “I truly hope it works out between us, but I’m not ready for marriage yet—I just can’t.

He clarified that they’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, but originally, there were five or six major problems that deeply affected him emotionally. (One of these issues being the revelation by Chelsea that Jimmy had a past relationship with his female friend.)

Following another round of discussion about their past relationships, Chelsea departed tearfully, expressing her disappointment: “I had such high hopes for us.

The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.

As a heartfelt admirer, I found myself deeply moved when Clay voiced his apprehensions about tying the knot, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness. Yet, AD, my dearest soulmate, instilled in me a renewed sense of hope that our bond would withstand any storm and that everything between us remained harmonious and strong.

However, when it came time for him to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, Clay chose not to, explaining to AD that it wasn’t prudent for him to marry since he wasn’t prepared yet.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD that he would make the necessary effort and navigate through this journey together. Regardless of what others might say, he acknowledged that he’s not yet prepared for marriage and believes she deserves nothing less than her best. If he isn’t ready to commit one hundred percent, he won’t move forward with her until he is ready. At the moment, he cannot give a definitive yes.

In a moment of clarity, I found myself acknowledging, with tears welling up in my eyes, that the connection I had been nurturing was, quite frankly, a misuse of my precious moments.

In my own words, I’d say that much like me, Clay found himself at a crossroads where both financial and emotional connections significantly influenced his decision to part ways. Reflecting on myself, I asked, “Am I a partner?” And the truthful response was no. When I questioned whether I was deeply in love, once again, the answer was negative.

At the gathering, Clay admitted he had erred by expressing his wish to date AD, but she seemed to evade the question of whether she’d reconsider reconciliation.

AD admitted that she indeed went out on a few dates with her co-star Matthew Duliba following the end of filming, but they are not in a relationship at present.

The couple from season six who agreed to spend eternity together was Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark the start of their life journey with a beautiful ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families, making it so that Amy’s father now views Johnny’s sister as one of his own daughters.

As for Johnny, he too declared at his reception that his father-in-law was his “new dad.”

They were still married during the reunion episode.

Initially, Brittany and Kenneth’s love blossomed beautifully, but when they re-entered reality, their relationship lost its spark.

According to Brittany, things changed significantly when they returned to their usual surroundings in Charlotte. In the pod, their passion and intensity were quite strong. However, this fervor seemed to lessen somewhat upon returning home.

Despite no longer being engaged, their friendship endures; Brittany expressed during the reunion that the connection they share will last forever.

The engagement between Laura and Jeramey ended dramatically when Laura discovered that her fiance had renewed contact with Sarah Ann Bick, another member of their pod, during a social gathering. Following a heated argument, Laura asked Jeramey to leave her alone.

But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.

At the gathering in March 2024, it was disclosed that Jeramey has been on and off with Sarah Ann for about a year now – this relationship started shortly after filming the show, however, they have since parted ways.

Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.

During the fifth season, the couple faced several challenges, such as Izzy’s initial bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for a certain standard of living (no disposable plates). However, it was Izzy’s deceit about his credit history that Stacy pointed out as a significant factor in her decision not to get married.

Though we didn’t exchange marriage vows at the altar, Stacy and I couldn’t shake off this intense connection. I was heartbroken, but she persisted, choosing to stay in our relationship.

“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”

In terms of myself, I found myself deeply grateful towards Izzy for helping me navigate through emotional territories. However, regarding our future together, I couldn’t confidently affirm a resounding ‘yes’. I need more assurance than just being ‘fairly certain’, to commit my life to this journey with you.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.

After an initial hiccup when it came to light that Lydia had previously been involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s companion from their pod, before the show started, it was only this geology-loving duo who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the experiment.

Lydia expressed her joy by saying, “Marrying my partner has made all my dreams come true. I’m absolutely thrilled! Now that I’m with them, I have everything I could ask for. It feels just like being at home – cozy and secure.

As an analytically-minded engineer, Milton concluded, “The evidence from all the data points points to this being the correct choice.

Throughout their relationship, this couple found themselves drawn to each other despite their differences – until the wedding day approached. At the altar, Paul displayed signs of uncertainty, prompting Micah to ask for his decision first. Unfortunately, Paul declined the proposal of marriage.

1) Micah expressed, “I’m in quite a shambles, really.” If Paul had proposed, without a doubt, I would have responded with a resounding ‘Yes!'” (Informal)

2) Micah stated, “I’m feeling pretty messy up here,” and if Paul had asked for my hand in marriage, there is no question that I would have accepted.” (Casual)

3) Micah admitted, “I feel like a wreck right now,” and if Paul had asked me to marry him, I wouldn’t hesitate to say ‘Yes, sir!'” (Semi-formal)

At the grand get-together, I found myself swallowing a heartfelt apology from Paul. In a private moment, he acknowledged and regretted his remark about doubting Micah’s ability to be a mom – a sentiment that echoed in my own thoughts as an ardent supporter of her journey.

Paul clarified, “I expressed myself unfairly towards her earlier. A more accurate way to put it might be that I don’t see ourselves in a parental role.

After finishing their filming, the pair momentarily reunited, but in the end, they struggled to sustain their relationship. Paul stated that they called it quits permanently during his trip to see Micah in Arizona.

In “After the Altar,” Paul unveiled that he had started seeing a new companion, one who delighted in exploring new places and appreciated his culinary abilities. Later on, he made their relationship public on Instagram by confirming it with eyelash stylist Geneva Dunham.

Regardless of Kwame’s mother not attending the wedding or some questionable discussions between him and Micah that took place within the pods, Kwame and Chelsea still chose to get married at the conclusion of season four, joining the ranks of just three couples who exchanged vows.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently come into contact with her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame extended an apology to his wife and her kin, acknowledging that his interactions with Micah weren’t a good reflection of him.

The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.

It’s said that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a moment or even proposing to another person to understand that you’ve made a mistake. This was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, only for the relationship to end during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, they braved the long odds (even going against Bliss’ father’s expectations) and exchanged vows at the altar, opting not to miss their chance to dance together instead. Incidentally, they didn’t pass up on their first spin around the dance floor to the song that brought them closer, “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack.

Following the airing of the final episode, Zack posted a picture of the duo on Instagram with the tagline “Enduring Happiness”.

The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.

It seems as if this LIB duo has been destined for each other ever since the days of Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed in season one!

In the study we were part of, my partner Brett and I, both being quite mature at 37 and 36 respectively, exchanged our heartfelt vows, despite an unforeseen hiccup on our big day. Sadly, Brett encountered a wardrobe malfunction when his trousers turned out to be too small. But thanks to the quick thinking of Lucia, our seamstress, she stepped in and saved the day! (Shout-out to Lucia, you’re amazing!)

Since filming wrapped, Tiffany and Brett moved to Portland and are still perfect! Phew!

After SK said “I don’t” at their wedding, he and Raven seemingly parted ways.

Yet, after the filming ended, their past romance was revived, as it turned out that they had been dating once more, during the reunion special for season three.

Approximately a month had passed when the pair disclosed their decision to part ways, citing “we are choosing different paths” as they grappled with accusations of infidelity against SK. In a joint post on social media in November, SK and Raven requested understanding and privacy as they navigated through this challenging period, expressing gratitude for those who had followed and supported their relationship.

Spectators were taken aback when Jackie decided to offer a second opportunity to Josh Demas, the man she had bonded with inside the pods, instead of continuing her relationship with Marshall. She met up with Josh and ultimately ended her engagement as a result.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events regarding her past relationships. “I ended things with Marshall prior to meeting Josh at the coffee shop,” she explained. “It seems like I was unfaithful, but let me assure you, I’m not a cheater.

Afterwards, Jackie acknowledged the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, stating that she is prepared to “accept responsibility” for her speech and conduct. Essentially, they were not destined to be together.

Concerning Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were together and cohabiting in the show “After the Altar.” However, during an Instagram Live session in September 2023, Jackie disclosed that their relationship had ended.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the competition, he had a brief encounter with fellow competitor Kacia Clark. He clarified, “We made an attempt,” Marshall said, “However, I chose to keep my distance from everything associated with that particular experience.

Following the events at the altar, it was disclosed that Marshall has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for a year now. His heartfelt desire is to spend an eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as follows: In the world of Love is Blind, Nancy and Bartise’s wedding stood out for reasons beyond the traditional bride-and-groom drama. Instead, the spotlight was on unexpected events that unfolded during their special day.

In the final episode of season three, it became clear that Nancy was eager to tie the knot. However, Bartise expressed doubts about their relationship, a revelation that didn’t sit well with Nancy’s family, who openly voiced their disapproval towards Bartise.

Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy have continued to nurture a relationship that’s more like a rollercoaster ride than a consistent friendship. According to him, their connection has swung from close friendship to casual acquaintanceship, silence, and then back to friendship again.

In April 2023, Bartisse, a contestant from the show “Perfect Match”, revealed the birth of his son named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of the child’s mother in public yet.

Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.

As a lifestyle expert, I too find myself in a fresh romantic adventure, but for now, I choose to keep the identity of my companion private.

In the season’s last episode, audiences saw Alexa and Brennon exchange vows amidst their cherished ones during their wedding ceremony.

In touching promises, Alexa expressed, “You bring laughter, stimulate thoughts, and above all, bring joy to my life.

In January 2024, the couple shared the joyous news of their upcoming child and welcomed their daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, into their family in July.

Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.

During their romantic relationship, it often seemed like Zanab and Cole held different views, leading to numerous disagreements. Despite reaching the wedding altar together, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You’ve shown disrespect towards me. You’ve hurt me with your words. You’ve criticized me. And to be honest, you’ve single-handedly demolished my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering various obstacles, he was optimistic about overcoming them and sailing in calmer seas. He expressed his hope that they could carry on their journey, even if they did not get married on the specific day in question.

Colleen and Matt successfully exchanged vows in the season three finale.

Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced while courting each other, the couple remained assured about their bond and joyfully pronounced their vows.

In an interview with TopMob News, Colleen explained her decision to proceed with the wedding by saying, “The moment I witnessed him crying and sniffing, I thought, ‘This is my partner.’ Therefore, I knew right then and there that I would say ‘yes’ once I saw him.

And for those wondering, Colleen confirmed, “A year-and-a-half later, we’re very, very happy.”

During the season finale, Sal wasn’t able to say, “I do.”

In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.

He asked, “So, are we considering going on dates in the near future?” To which I replied, ” frankly, I’m not sure of my strategy yet. My suggestion would be to avoid online dating platforms for now.

As we know, Deepti and Shake’s time on the show did not end with a happily ever after.

It was disclosed to TopMob News that Deepti is currently single, but it seems there’s tension between Shake and her brother Sunny on Instagram. In a shared post, Sunny and his partner Hina Merchant Vempati called out Shake, stating something like: “Dude, you’re a disappointment,” implying that he made disrespectful and embarrassing remarks about Deepti.

They continued, urging Shake to “stay the f–k away” from their sister.

Looks like Shake will be heading to his Nobu reservation alone!

Despite not getting married on the show, Natalie confirmed to TopMob that the love stories portrayed were entirely sincere.

Natalie clarified that it’s not a reality show,” she said. “Instead, it’s about the genuine aspects of our lives, our authentic emotions, and our true connections with each other.

Because of this, Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had consented to appear in the spinoff series titled “Perfect Match” during their efforts to salvage their relationship following their failed marriage.

She disclosed on Instagram that he repeatedly messaged her, expressing his desire to quit during the movie shoot as he was still emotionally attached to her following our encounter at the reunion show taping. However, she motivated him to carry on with the filming.

After wrapping up the production for Perfect Match, Natalie stated that she reconnected with Shayne, however, in the end, she decided they should not get back together.

Simultaneously, Shayne had a short-term relationship with Chloe Veitch, who is known from the show “Too Hot to Handle”. They met while connecting on the program “Perfect Match”.

On August 15, 2022, Danielle initiated divorce proceedings against Nick at a court in Chicago, marking over a year since their marriage concluded with their wedding on the finale.

On August 17th, 2022, they shared a joint statement on Instagram, stating, “After careful consideration, we regretfully announce that we have chosen to part ways and commence divorce proceedings. We hold deep affection for one another, but our paths are diverging, and that’s alright. Arriving at this decision was not an easy task, and we will forever root for each other’s happiness.

In the spin-off series “After the Altar,” which premiered in September 2022, their friendship developed into a romantic relationship. However, Kyle revealed shortly after, in those same days, that they had parted ways since the special was recorded.

And in April, Kyle proposed to his girlfriend Tania Leanos, whom he did not meet in a pod.
