Ariana Madix wishes her boyfriend Daniel Wai a happy birthday with a new PDA photo
“Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix wished her boyfriend Daniel Wai a sweet birthday on Saturday with a sweet Instagram post.
“Happy birthday to the most handsome man I know,” she said – described the snap of the couple giggling and looking at each other lovingly at Coachella last month.
She added in the post that Wai “always allows [her] eat the first and last bite 👑💖🥵
The fitness instructor thanked Madix for the post, adding in the comment: “Best year ever!”
The couple met at a wedding in Mexico in March 2023, after the Bravo star dumped her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval for a month-long fling with their castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
Madix, 38, and Wai were first linked at Coachella in April 2023, when they were spotted kissing.
In May, she flew to New York, where Wai lives, and they were spotted relaxing at Yankees games and trendy restaurants.
Since then, they have been spotted together numerous times over the past year, most recently when they returned to Coachella where it all started.
“She has a very grounding, calming and positive energy,” Madix gushed on an April episode of Dear Media’s “Scheananigans With Scheana Shay” podcast. “He really, really, really tries to always help with things.”
While she didn’t comment on the seriousness of their relationship, she teased that it was “heading towards positive things.”
She added that she intends to “keep doing what makes me happy” and will “keep him by my side.”
And while Madix – who recently spent eight weeks playing Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Broadway – can’t predict the future, she said she would be thrilled if Wai moved to Los Angeles, where she lives.
Madix may have freed her ex after the scandal that was famously dubbed Scandoval, but she is still struggling to cope with the fallout.
In February, Leviss, 29, sued Sandoval, 41, and Madix for revenge porn, wiretapping, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.
Leviss claims that Sandoval filmed her intimate encounter on FaceTime without her consent, which in turn was “distributed, disseminated and publicly discussed” by Madix.
Madix sharply criticized the lawsuit, claiming that her former partner was trying to “punish” and “blame” her for the latter’s affair with Sandoval.
Meanwhile, Sandoval claims the lawsuit is “a thinly veiled attempt by Leviss to spread fame and rebrand herself as the victim rather than another woman.”
