Ally Shapiro and Jordan Bilfeld broke up just two months after their engagement.
A source close to The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, 31, who was tipped to return in August, revealed to Page six that she and her ex-fiancé ‘made the difficult decision to end their engagement.’
A statement shared with the outlet on Thursday read: “After much reflection, (they) have made the difficult decision to end their engagement.”
‘And as a family, we are focused on supporting (Ally) during this time. We appreciate your understanding and request privacy in this personal matter.’
The source also revealed that the former couple began having “issues” at their lavish engagement party in the Hamptons in September.

The source shared that Shapiro and Bilfeld felt tension between them, but hoped it would “calm down.”
And the shocking decision was made last week, taking close friends and family by surprise.
Shapiro also removed all traces of her relationship with the video producer from her Instagram, engagement photos and all.
Bilfeld popped the question during a glamorous holiday in Spain, accompanied by his ex’s family. The couple immediately took to social media to share the news of their engagement and show off the sparkling diamond ring on their finger.
Ally raised her left hand to show the diamond sparkler as a GIF appeared on the screen that said, “OMG.”
Her mother, RHONY alum Jill, who was also on the trip with her boyfriend, Gary Brody, was apparently unaware of the proposal. And although she was “shocked,” the star revealed that she is “thrilled for the couple.”
The former RHONY star took to her Instagram to share a snippet moments after Jordan popped the question.
Shapiro and Bilfeld could be seen cuddling near a pool as a photographer took memorable photos of the special milestone. Other people could be heard applauding as they watched the public proposal.
‘I’m speechless! “Gary, Ally, Jordan and I have spent the last week on a celebrity cruise around Europe and we’re leaving tomorrow,” she explained to her fans.
‘After lunch, Jordan asked Ally to go for a walk on the beach… mind you, after it poured rain for 30 minutes. Gary and I are waiting for the check to arrive.
She revealed that they then heard “cheers and applause and I started clapping and walking around to look over the railing and guess who just got engaged.” Surprise!!!!’

The former couple did not clarify the exact date of their separation
‘Mazel Tov to my beautiful daughter and her FIANCE Jordan Bilfeld. We couldn’t be happier to welcome him and his family to join ours. I’m still in shock. We had no idea.’
Although it is unknown when Shapiro and Jordan began dating, the two became Instagram official in May 2022.
Since their separation, Zarin had been helping her daughter move into a new apartment while relearning how to live life as a single woman.
