Jill Zarin Shares Highlights of Her Luxurious Birthday Celebration
Jill Zarin rang in her 62nd birthday in ultimate style, partying with family and friends aboard a stunning yacht as it cruised the waters of Miami, Florida.
The former RHONY star took to Instagram to share several snapshots, including stunning shots of herself in a flowing maxi dress that caught the breeze as she posed on the yacht. Other photos included Zarin posing alongside her daughter, Allyson Shapiro, and close friends, while videos of the fun-filled day showcased the reality star dancing with her boyfriend, Gary Brody.
In her caption, Zarin shared that the birthday celebration was a surprise from Brody, whom she’s been dating since 2018.
“Even though today is my actual birthday, Gary surprised me again yesterday! He is truly the most romantic and always so creative when it comes to my birthday and Valentine’s Day. He rented a 110-foot yacht, invited my family, and a few of my closest girlfriends were able to make it,” she wrote.
Zarin added that her family and friends wore “Surprise” t-shirts, which she called “hilarious” and “thoughtful,” and shared how the celebration was “one of my favorites.” Additionally, she shared that her birthday extravaganza wouldn’t end at just the yacht party.
“But it doesn’t end here — Gary still has two more surprises up his sleeve! This weekend he’s taking me to a very special Relais & Châteaux property… and then we’re off to NYC. December is going to be a whirlwind.”
Zarin’s Boyfriend Had a Brief Romance With Ramona Singer
GettyThe former RHONY cast (before it was retooled for Season 14) has had a history of dating several of the same men. Take, for instance, Harry Dubin, who has been linked to Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, and Sonja Morgan and was previously married to Aviva Drescher.
Well, it turns out that Zarin’s boyfriend, Brody, has also mingled with other Housewives before making things serious with her. According to Bravo, during the RHONY season 10 reunion, host Andy Cohen shared that Brody also dated Singer after receiving a message from Zarin.
“Jill emailed me today, and she said that she’s been dating this guy. And she said, ‘You’ll never believe it. This guy used to date Ramona,'” he shared with the group of women.
Singer confirmed that she and Brody “went on four dates,” adding, “I wasn’t even divorced yet. My foot was just in the pool of getting divorced. I wasn’t ready for a relationship.”
After the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Bobby Zarin, earlier in 2018, she found love again later that year with Brody. They became Instagram official that December.
