The woman once at the center of Tiger Woods’ infamous 2009 cheating scandal has a new reason to celebrate.
Rachel Uchitel, now host of the Miss Understood podcast, took to Instagram to share news of her engagement to security entrepreneur Dan Donovan, complete with breathtaking photos of her 10.25-carat square-cut diamond ring.
The golden-hour announcement, shot in the celebrity enclave of Montecito, California, featured intimate moments of the couple kissing on an oceanfront bench and Uchitel posing radiantly in a short white dress.
Donovan matched her excitement with his own Instagram Story post declaring, “She said yes!” alongside romantic beachside images.
This engagement marks a fresh chapter for Uchitel, whose personal history includes profound tragedy and public scrutiny. Her first fiancé perished in the 9/11 attacks – an event that made her the subject of a famous New York Post cover showing her clutching his photo.
Subsequent marriages, including a three-year union with Matt Hahn that produced daughter Wyatt Lily, 12, ultimately dissolved.
Donovan, founder of elite security firms Stratoscope and Ingressotek, appears to have brought new stability to Uchitel’s life. The timing of their happy news coincides ironically with Woods’ recent confirmation of his relationship with Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.
