RHONY star engaged to her German businessman boyfriend after three years of dating

Daily Mail​02-06-2025
The Real Housewives of New York City star Ubah Hassan announced her engagement to 'Mr. Connecticut ' aka Aris Mining senior VP Oliver Dachsel last Saturday.
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.
Ubah - who boasts 254K Instagram followers - captioned her romantic slideshow: 'To love and be loved by someone so kind, deeply good, and quietly breathtaking.'
Hassan wore a bridal-white blouse, matching pants, and sandals and her eyes were brimming with tears as she accepted the massive diamond ring Oliver presented to her.
The Somali-Canadian model appeared to be crying as she passionately embraced the German businessman, whom she met in 2022 through mutual friends.

Ubah then FaceTimed her RHONY castmate Jessel Taank, who gushed: 'And here I was thinking it was just a regular day... until @ubah rocked my world with the best news.'
Hassan also gave her personal trainer Kim Strother a sneak peek at the impressive sparkler, and she gushed: 'This is everything! So happy for you!'
The Ubah Hot CEO's cousin Chanel Ayan, who's on The Real Housewives of Dubai, commented on her slideshow: 'We can now celebrate and I can tell the world my cousin is engaged! So happy love you both so much!'
RHONY executive producer and Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen commented: 'This is outstanding!'
Ubah also received congratulatory comments from Bravo-lebrities like Garcelle Beauvais, Rebecca Minkoff, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Ariana Madix, Carole Radziwill, Melissa Gorga, Ramona Singer, Heather Dubrow, and Kenya Moore.
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.'
Fans will not be able to continue watching the Muslim beauty's wedding journey as Bravo execs met with 10 potential new Real Housewives of New York last month to cast in the upcoming 16th season
And while Hassan confessed on the 15th season premiere she wanted 'to start trying' to get pregnant at the end of last year, the couple expanded their family last November adopting seven-month-old Goldendoodle Miles.
The Muslim beauty only went Instagram official with Dachsel last September, but they made their red carpet debut in October 2023 at the American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala.
Fans will not be able to continue watching Ubah's wedding journey as Bravo execs met with 10 potential new Real Housewives of New York last month to cast in the upcoming 16th season - according to Cohen.
RHONY - originally titled 'Manhattan Moms' - was a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and the OG cast members were paid around $7K to star in the first season back in 2009.

Who should play Elon Musk in 'Artificial'? As Andrew Garfield is cast as Sam Altman, AI reveals the actors who could take on the role as the Tesla billionaire

It's one of the most eagerly anticipated movies in Hollywood, starring Andrew Garfield as the notorious OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. But as hype around 'Artificial' builds, one key question remains – who is brave enough to take on the role of Elon Musk? Several names have already been floated, including comedic actor, Ike Barinholtz. However, it seems that AI – one of the key themes of the film – has other ideas. MailOnline asked ChatGPT which actors it thought would be able to tackle the role of the Tesla billionaire. According to the bot, the actor would need to 'pull off three things at once' – Musk's look, mannerisms, and energy. The leading contender for the role? Joseph Gordon–Levitt. 'Joseph Gordon–Levitt — adaptable, could nail the thoughtful–yet–offbeat vibe,' ChatGPT explained. MailOnline asked ChatGPT which actors it thought would be able to take on the role as the Tesla billionaire Artificial will be directed by Luca Guadagnino, and is loosely based on the drama behind the scenes at OpenAI. In 2023, Sam Altman was famously fired due to a loss of confidence from the board, before being rehired just five days later. Musk co–founded the company with Altman in 2015, but left in 2018 – and has been very vocal in his distain for his co–founder ever since. So far, several high–profile celebrities have been confirmed for the film, which is yet to have a release date. Andrew Garfield will star as Altman, while Monica Barbaro will play Mira Murati, the former Interim OpenAI CEO. Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Billie Lourd, and Chris O'Dowd also join the list, although their roles remain unclear. As for the part of Musk, ChatGPT explained that the actor will need to match the billionaire's look (tall, slightly angular face, intense eyes), mannerisms (mix of awkward pauses, blunt delivery, and bursts of enthusiasm), and energy (restless ambition, a bit of chaos, and occasional deadpan humor). Based on that rationale, the bot has put forward six potential actors. The AI bot has put forward six potential actors to play Elon Musk – including Nicholas Hoult and Cillian Murphy ChatGPT explained that the actor will need to match the billionaire's look (tall, slightly angular face, intense eyes), mannerisms (mix of awkward pauses, blunt delivery, and bursts of enthusiasm), and energy (restless ambition, a bit of chaos, and occasional deadpan humor) Alongside Joseph Gordon–Levitt, the AI bot suggests that Sherlock star, Benedict Cumberbatch, could have what it takes. He has 'proven range with eccentric geniuses, and could tweak his voice to match Musk's cadence,' ChatGPT explained. Oscar winner Rami Malek, who has previously played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, is also a strong contender. He 'excels at portraying enigmatic, hyper–focused characters,' the bot explained. Skins star, Nicholas Hoult 'can do both awkward charm and intense ambition,' ChatGPT adds, while Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy 'would bring a quieter, more calculating take on Musk'. Finally, ChatGPT has included a wild card – Adam Driver. 'If Hollywood wanted a slightly satirical version, Adam Driver could absolutely crush it,' the bot added. Elon Musk wants to push technology to its absolute limit, from space travel to self-driving cars — but he draws the line at artificial intelligence. The billionaire first shared his distaste for AI in 2014, calling it humanity's 'biggest existential threat' and comparing it to 'summoning the demon.' At the time, Musk also revealed he was investing in AI companies not to make money but to keep an eye on the technology in case it gets out of hand. His main fear is that in the wrong hands, if AI becomes advanced, it could overtake humans and spell the end of mankind, which is known as The Singularity. That concern is shared among many brilliant minds, including the late Stephen Hawking, who told the BBC in 2014: 'The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. 'It would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate.' Despite his fear of AI, Musk has invested in the San Francisco-based AI group Vicarious, in DeepMind, which has since been acquired by Google, and OpenAI, creating the popular ChatGPT program that has taken the world by storm in recent months. During a 2016 interview, Musk noted that he and OpenAI created the company to 'have democratisation of AI technology to make it widely available.' Musk founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, the company's CEO, but in 2018 the billionaire attempted to take control of the start-up. His request was rejected, forcing him to quit OpenAI and move on with his other projects. In November, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, which became an instant success worldwide. The chatbot uses 'large language model' software to train itself by scouring a massive amount of text data so it can learn to generate eerily human-like text in response to a given prompt. ChatGPT is used to write research papers, books, news articles, emails and more. But while Altman is basking in its glory, Musk is attacking ChatGPT. He says the AI is 'woke' and deviates from OpenAI's original non-profit mission. 'OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it 'Open' AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft, Musk tweeted in February. The Singularity is making waves worldwide as artificial intelligence advances in ways only seen in science fiction - but what does it actually mean? In simple terms, it describes a hypothetical future where technology surpasses human intelligence and changes the path of our evolution. Experts have said that once AI reaches this point, it will be able to innovate much faster than humans. There are two ways the advancement could play out, with the first leading to humans and machines working together to create a world better suited for humanity. For example, humans could scan their consciousness and store it in a computer in which they will live forever. The second scenario is that AI becomes more powerful than humans, taking control and making humans its slaves - but if this is true, it is far off in the distant future. Researchers are now looking for signs of AI reaching The Singularity, such as the technology's ability to translate speech with the accuracy of a human and perform tasks faster. Former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil predicts it will be reached by 2045.

I had 3 kids under 2 – everyone's baffled when I tell them… it was a shock to me too, but was down to a simple mistake

A MUM who had three kids under the age of two has revealed people are always baffled when she tells them. Nicole took to her TikTok page to explain her unusual situation, which occurred when she fell pregnant with twins when her daughter was 11 months old. 6 6 6 6 And in the video, she admitted the pregnancy was a "huge shock", and happened when she made a very easy error. "I actually didn't pick up my pill prescription from the doctors for like five days, and then just started taking it and thought I'd be all right," she said. "We'd actually decided that we only wanted to have one child together, because he already had a five-year-old." Nicole continued to say her "life was blissful" when her daughter was born, and she and her other half were "really in that bubble" thanks to their little girl being a "happy, easy baby". So when she started to get pregnancy symptoms when her daughter was 11 months old, she took a test, and discovered she was expecting again. For the first scan, Nicole's husband couldn't make it, so she took her mum. Laying down ready for the scan, she was chatting to the sonographer and said that she could already feel the baby moving - to which the pro insisted it was "wind", unless she had "more than one baby" in there. The scan then began, with the sonographer telling Nicole she was "right". "I thought she was joking!" When she realised that she wasn't joking, and she was actually pregnant with twins, Nicole went into "full panic mode" and burst into tears. Jesy Nelson breaks silence on twins' life-saving surgery in first TV interview The situation was made even more emotional by the fact that her husband was an identical twin, but he tragically lost his brother aged 20. And the drama continued thanks to the fact that her twins shared one placenta - meaning the pregnancy was high risk, and she had to have scans at hospital every two weeks. "Then they decided to come at 10 and a half weeks early. So they were born at 29 weeks!" she concluded. The comments section on the video was somewhat surprisingly filled with other mums saying they'd found themselves in very similar situations. "I'm so similar, I fell pregnant when my son was 11 months and had identical twin girls at 29 weeks too," one wrote. "For 10 days I had 3 under 18 months." What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. "This happened to me!" another said. "But all 3 of mine were in the same school year my daughter was the oldest in the year and my boys were the youngest in the year!!!" "Same story for us, when my first boy was 8 months old I became pregnant with identical twin boys," a third admitted. "My eldest was exactly 1/5 years when they were born! Wild ride ever since haha!" "This happened to me," someone else said. "My daughter was 8 months - the twins were born when she was 16 months." 6 6

NYPD officer caught in embarrassing act on live TV during Yankees-Twins with fans ‘breaking out in tears'

A POLICE officer is going viral after getting caught on live TV. During the New York Yankees game on Monday, a NYPD officer was picked up on YES Network cameras. 2 2 In the first inning, a woman walked past the cop and appeared to catch his attention. He looked at her from behind as she walked past him. The moment instantly went viral on social media and fans couldn't help but laugh at the officer. "He about to risk the pension," one fan said. "How blatant could it be… jeez louise!" another fan said. "Lmaoooo I saw it live & broke out in tears," a third fan said. "Double take too? Diabolical," a fourth fan said. "Lmaooo bro couldn't resist," a fifth fan said. Alongside the viral moment in New York came a return to form for the Yankees. Perhaps a funny gimmick was all the team needed to spark some life into them. MLB legend Derek Jeter opens up on former Yankees teammate CC Sabathia's Hall of Fame induction After a five-game losing streak, the Yankees have won four of their last six games. They are also going for a sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. They won the first two games of the three-game series 15-3. "Frankly, the offense is the least of our concerns," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's win. MLB All-Star Game Starters 2025 Here are the All-Star teams for the American League and National League at the Midsummer Classic on July 15 at Atlanta's Truist Park, voted on by the fans. American League Starters Catcher: Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners First base: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Toronto Blue Jays Second base: Gleyber Torres, Detroit Tigers Third base: José Ramírez, Cleveland Guardians Shortstop: Jacob Wilson, The Athletics Outfield: Aaron Judge, New York Yankees Outfield: Javier Báez, Tigers Outfield: Riley Greene, Tigers Designated hitter: Ryan O'Hearn, Baltimore Orioles National League Starters Catcher: Will Smith, Los Angeles Dodgers First base: Freddie Freeman, Dodgers Second base: Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks Third base: Manny Machado, San Diego Padres Shortstop: Francisco Lindor, New York Mets Outfield: Ronald Acuña Jr., Atlanta Braves Outfield: Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs Outfield: Kyle Tucker, Cubs Designated hitter: Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers "You're going to have [bad] stretches, that's the nature of offense. "We got a couple of guys struggling right now, but I think we have a handful of guys that are really swinging the bats well. "I fully expect our offense to be one of our calling cards and something that should carry us." The Yankees currently hold the third wildcard spot in the American League.
