To those still mentioning Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix in the same sentence, get with the times already. The Vanderpump Rules alum is far-removed from her old partner, especially since she has fallen for someone new. Specifically, Ariana has been seeing a stud named Daniel Wai since 2023. They officially became an item in 2024 and it’s been nonstop romance ever since.
The only obstacle in their relationship is being long-distance. She lives in Los Angeles while he is based in New York City. Not to mention the fact that the Love Island USA host is constantly filming in Fiji. Nevertheless, they appear to be head over heels in love. And, according to some internet sleuths, they might be considering taking their relationship one step further.
Is Ariana Madix engaged to Daniel Wai?
In the r/vanderpumprules Reddit community, there was a thread discussing signs of possible engagement.
Reddit User lexoe posted multiple photos of Ariana wearing a ring on her wedding finger. The Redditor also included a steamy picture of the two from back in July. Daniel referred to it as “the best day ever”, possibly implying it was the day of his proposal.
This is some pretty convincing evidence, but it’s not completely consistent. In all of Ariana’s new posts on social media, she’s not wearing the ring. And, if the July day was true, that means it’s been months with no official announcement. The mismatched signs are throwing everyone off, but Reddit User kattylyn offered a good point.
“Not sure if it’s true, but if so I understand 1000% on why she wouldn’t want to share it. After her last situation, it’s probably smart for her to keep this relationship as private as possible.”
And that makes sense. Her last relationship was extremely public, which made the breakup even worse. Plus, Daniel doesn’t seem to be fond of the spotlight, as he didn’t want to be on VPR. Guess everyone will just have to wait and see.
Vanderpump Rules is available to stream on Peacock.
