Who is Racquel Chevremont's fiancee? ‘RHONY’ star flaunts stunning engagement ring
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Racquel Chevremont proudly displays her engagement ring! In the third episode of 'The Real Housewives of New York City' Season 15 titled 'Dramamine Drama', Racquel flaunted her stunning engagement ring in front of the other housewives.
The Bravo ladies were first introduced to Racquel's fiancee, Mel Corpus, in the premiere episode of 'RHONY.' For those wondering, Mel is a forensic neuropsychologist, and she and Racquel transitioned from being good friends to a romantic couple.
While they have yet to tie the knot, Racquel and Mel got engaged in October 2023 during a Ducati motorcycle rally. Talking of their proposal, Racquel said, “So we got off. We park all the bikes. And then everyone takes photos. And I didn’t realize that everyone was staying away from us."
“And she stands there telling me how much she loves the kids. And I was like, ‘Shhh, OK OK, I get it. I know you love the kids but we’ve got to take this picture.’ And then suddenly she goes to pull out a ring, and I was like, ‘Are you f-cking kidding me?’ That was the first thing out of my mouth," she added.
Racquel told her fellow costar Rebecca Minkoff that she wears her engagement ring every day. Speaking of her ring, Racquel said, "It’s like black diamonds, white diamonds, cognac diamonds, and you know, it’s very me. It’s an art piece on my hand.”
