The Real Housewives of New York City star Ubah Hassan shared her exciting engagement news last Saturday. She announced that she is set to marry Oliver Dachsel, also known as ‘Mr. Connecticut’ and a senior VP at Aris Mining.
The 44-year-old groom-to-be got down on one knee as he proposed to his 41-year-old bride-to-be as she sat on a chair in the middle of a desert.
With a substantial following of 254K on Instagram, Ubah expressed her joy in a romantic slideshow post. Her caption read, ‘To love and be loved by someone so kind, deeply good, and quietly breathtaking.’
During the proposal, Ubah was dressed in a bridal-white blouse, matching pants, and sandals. Overcome with emotion, tears filled her eyes as she said yes to the beautiful and sizable diamond ring presented by Oliver.
The Somali-Canadian model appeared to be crying as she passionately embraced the German businessman, whom she met in 2022 through mutual friends.

In January, Hassan admitted her ‘dream’ engagement ring would’ve been a yellow diamond rather than the crystal-clear variety she accepted Saturday.
‘I do love a yellow diamond, just because they’re rare. And I didn’t know they were the most expensive,’ the 6ft stunner told Parade.
‘I like to make sure like I match, you know, because yellow you can’t match a lot.’
Ubah then added: ‘I don’t even care about the diamonds. I have diamonds, like, I don’t need diamonds. I have him.’
