Ubah’s companion Oliver looked good in a tuxedo at the gala.
Oliver, the cryptic “Mr. Connecticut” from the Bravo series works as the CEO of a large financial institution in New York.
While he’s been keeping a low profile and avoiding the spotlight, viewers spotted the dapper Oliver with Ubah in the VIP area at the RHONY season 14 premiere party in July.
Glamorous Ubah introduced Oliver to Bravo executive Andy Cohen, 55, and several of her co-stars, including Sai De Silva, at the invitation-only launch party.
Andy recalled their meeting on an October 8 episode of Watch What Happens Live, describing Oliver as “handsome, strong and yes, impressive.”
Chron has seen footage of Oliver mingling with Andy, Ubah, Sai and Erin Lichy at the event.
A source told the Chron that the happy couple were “inseparable” throughout the night, despite trying to be discreet.
“I assumed he was her husband because I didn’t know at the time that she was pretending to be single on the show,” the source said.
