Just a few days after the dramatic conclusion of Vanderpump Rules’ reunion on June 7, Ariana Madix decided to shake things up. She took off to the Big Apple for some pre-birthday fun with her new beau, Daniel Wai.
The pair first raised eyebrows back in April. They were caught in a steamy moment at Coachella, leading to whispers of a budding romance. They then took their relationship to the next level, attending the Governors Ball Music Festival together. They didn’t stop there, though. On June 11, they partied into the wee hours with their friends.
Madix’s co-stars have been all for this new relationship. They’ve even given their seal of approval to her new man.
Scheana Shay, in an exclusive chat with E! News in May, shared her observations. “The way I’ve seen him treat her, I’ve never seen her so radiant. Not even at the start of her relationship with Tom,” she said. “When he’s around, or even when she mentions him, she just lights up. It’s been incredible to see her this happy.”
Lala Kent chimed in too. “Just the way she talks about him, her vibe is totally different. I’m over the moon for her,” she said. “As an observer, I’ve watched her and her relationships, and I’ve really felt for her.”
