‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Sends Sweet Birthday Message to Boyfriend
Ariana Madix, known for her role on the hit reality show “Vanderpump Rules,” took to Instagram to wish her boyfriend Daniel Wai a happy birthday. In a heartfelt post, Madix shared a photo of the couple giggling and looking lovingly at each other during their time at Coachella last month. She captioned the photo, “happy birthday to the most handsome man I know.” Madix also expressed her gratitude for Wai, mentioning that he always lets her have the first and last bite.
The couple’s relationship began in March 2023 when they met at a wedding in Mexico. This came after Madix ended her previous relationship with Tom Sandoval due to his affair with their castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. Madix, 38, and Wai were first linked at Coachella in April 2023, where they were spotted engaging in public displays of affection. Their romance continued to blossom, with Madix frequently flying out to New York City, where Wai resides. The couple has been seen enjoying Yankees games and dining at trendy restaurants.
During an episode of the podcast “Scheananigans With Scheana Shay,” Madix spoke highly of Wai, describing him as a grounding and positive presence in her life. While she didn’t explicitly discuss the seriousness of their relationship, she hinted at a positive future together. Madix expressed her desire for Wai to move to Los Angeles, where she currently resides.
However, Madix’s love life hasn’t been without its challenges. Leviss, the castmate involved in the scandal with Sandoval, filed a lawsuit against both Sandoval and Madix. Leviss accused Sandoval of filming an intimate FaceTime call without her consent, which was then shared publicly by Madix. In response, Madix dismissed the lawsuit, claiming that Leviss is attempting to shift blame and punish her for the affair.
As Madix continues to navigate the aftermath of the scandal, she remains focused on her own happiness. She plans to keep Wai by her side and continue pursuing what brings her joy. While the future is uncertain, Madix expressed her hope for Wai to join her in Los Angeles, where they can build a positive life together.
