Ariana Madix Reveals When She Really Walked Away From Vanderpump Rules

Make no mistake: these are the best days of Ariana Madix’s life.

The Vanderpump Rules alum walked the red carpet at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards alongside boyfriend Daniel Wai, whom she suggested might just be “the one.”

“I think so,” Ariana told E! News’ Francesca Amiker exclusively at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles March 17. “I think when you know, you know, and I think very early on I was just like, ‘There's something different about this guy.’ He continues to show up for me, like, consistently.” (For more from the iHeartRadio Music Awards, tune in to E!

The reality star made her romance with the fitness coach public in April 2023, shortly after ending her nine-year relationship with Tom Sandoval in the wake of his months-long affair with their then-costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. And with the chaos of the cheating scandal behind her, Ariana, 39, is grateful for her current partnership.

“He’s everything I’ve ever wanted without even knowing that that's what I wanted,” she said of Daniel, 41. “Like, he’ll say something and I'm like, ‘How did you even know that that's what I was thinking?’ And I like it. It's

lovely.”
