Posting via her Instagram Stories the same day, Harris also showed a glimpse of the romantic spot they seemingly planned to exchange vows. A clip showed a beach with rocks strategically placed in a heart shape while a floral arch stood at the center, marking where the duo would likely say "I do."

Last month, Harris, who is the ex-wife of late Playboy mogulHugh Hefner, shared that her wedding date was getting close.

"Less than two weeks until I marry my best friend. My adventure buddy, my protector, the person who gives me strength to take on the world 💪" she gushed via her Instagram on March 22.

She continued, "You are such an incredible human. You steady me, lift me, and remind me who I am on the days I forget. With you, life feels bigger, softer, and more meaningful all at once. I don't just feel loved, I feel safe, seen, and unstoppable. I can't wait to do this life with you 🤍"

Harris and Wardannounced their engagementafter one year of dating in May 2025.

"It truly feels like a full-circle moment. James completely surprised me. He had a hidden staircase and a winding trail cleared to reveal a handcrafted deck perched above a dramatic cliffside overlooking the ocean," Harris exclusively toldUs Weeklyat the time. "It was the exact spot where we'd had a quiet picnic together a year ago — a place that became 'ours.' I had no idea he was secretly turning it into something permanent and symbolic. I thought we were just going for a walk, but when I saw the flowers, the handwritten notes, and the sea stretching endlessly in front of us, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen."

Harris previously posted about the proposal via Instagram, writing in May 2025, "I said yes (of course) with my smile, my soul, my every cell—because loving you is the most natural thing I've ever done."

TheReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsalum, 53, defended Dorit, 49, after she came to blows with herRHOBHcostarsduring the Thursday, April 2, episodeof the reality show.

"Leave Dorit alone!"Brandi wrote via Xon Thursday night. "When I was in her place I got a brand new vagina and put it on my ex-husband's Amex. We all are a little erratic when we are heartbroken and going through divorce! Team Dorito!"

Brandi was referencing her vaginal rejuvenation surgery, which she got after her split from ex-husbandEddie Cibrianin 2009.

The reality TV stardetailed her surgeryin her 2013 memoir,Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders.

"I decided that since Eddie ruined my vagina for me, he could pay for a new one," she wrote. "A week after the vaginal rejuvenation surgery, he was on the phone screaming, 'What the f**k cost you $12,000? Did you get a nose job?'"

She continued, "I responded simply, 'Yes. A nose job.' And I hung up."

In Thursday'sRHOBHepisode, Erika Jayne, 54, took aim at Dorit for constantly being late and keeping the other Housewives waiting. Dorit defended being late, claiming it was because she was on the phone to her kids, son Jagger, 12, and daughter Phoenix, 10. (Dorit filed for divorcefrom their father, PK, in April 2025.)

"Great, how long does that take? We all have kids. Why would you keep us all waiting? Because your kids are more important than everybody else's kids?" Erika continued. "Send us a text and say, 'Hey, I'm checking on my kids, I'll be down in five.' … You don't think you need to do that?"

AfterRachel Zoe, 54, suggested that Dorit was going through a lot due to the breakdown of her marriage to PK, Erika hit back.

"We're all going through a f*** ton," Erika began, before Dorit interrupted to express her disbelief that Erika was also going through hard times.

"Are you kidding? What the f*** do you think it is? My husband went to prison. The f*** are you talking about? I'm going to trial," Erika responded. "Your kids and your divorce are like — let's not do the pain thing. Like, where we do the pain Olympics."

Erika's estranged husband,Tom Girardi, was convicted of wire fraud in 2024 andsentenced to seven years in prison. While Erika was never charged with a crime, the trustee presiding over Tom's bankruptcy case sued her for $25 million. That trial is set to start later this year.

In the episode, tensions ultimately escalated to the point where Erika and Dorit called each other "c***s" during the heated exchange.
