Fiona The Hippo Photobombs Couple’s Engagement Pics, And Now They’re So Much Better
Hayley Roll was on a day-trip to the Cincinnati Zoo with her boyfriend, Nick Kelble, to visit viral superstar Fiona the Hippo when something amazing happened. Roll handed her phone to someone who agreed to take a photo of them, and when she turned back around, her partner of one year was down on one knee with a ring in his hand.
While the moment was infinitely sweet and adorable, the couple got the best surprise ever when they went back to look at their camera reel. Fiona, the diva hippo extraordinaire whom they had come to the zoo to see, had shamelessly photobombed their engagement – neck rolls and all. “We’re so happy Fiona could be there on our special day,” Roll wrote on Instagram. There’s no word yet on whether or not Fiona plans to crash the wedding as well, but we think the chances could be high.
Fiona is no stranger to the spotlight. She first made headlines back in January, when she managed to survive being born six weeks early thanks to the help of a dedicated medical team, and came out of it looking adorable as ever.

Nick surprised Hayley by popping the question then and there, but the real surprise came later…

We’re not sure what she was thinking, but it’s clear that Fiona did not give a single damn about photobombing

Share on FacebookI live in Cincinnati and this is everywhere. It's on the news and social media, and Fiona is just so cute it makes this perfect!
D'awww! They need to include Fiona in their wedding in some way - incorporate her into the centerpieces somehow, or wedding party gifts (stuffed hippos for the flower girl and ring bearer!).
That's a sweet idea! I still love stuffed animals in my sixth decade, and I can imagine how cute a stuffed baby hippo would be. Hope the engaged couple is reading this. . .
Load More Replies...Looks like she is checking out the ring "ohhh girl that is a nice one"
I love all the pictures and congratulations on your engagement! I love the “sly eye” the other hippo is throwing in the one pic. It’s absolutely adorable how Fiona has hair sticking up her only on left ear in that one pic- totally me coming out of the shower most mornings! 😂😂😂
Let me get this straight: a creature from the exhibit was visible in the background of the exhibit and everyone loves it, yet the next post is about a cute little Twitter battle between Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and almost everyone was criticizing BP for even posting it because who cares about what some insignificant thing a couple does?. I'm so confused.
