Are Ariana Madix and Daniel Wai Dating?

Ariana Madix’s new boyfriend Daniel Wai will indeed appear in season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules,” though it seems like he won’t be prominently featured. In an Oct. 30 interview with E! News, Madix revealed that Wai will appear “once or twice, but definitely not very much,” and added that “he’s not into the whole world of it all. It was very foreign to him, but I give him props for being a good sport on my behalf,” she continued.

Madix and Wai were first linked in April, just a month after Madix split from her longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval in March amid a cheating scandal. Madix, 38, was with Sandoval, 40, for nine years. In early March, Madix learned that Sandoval had been cheating on her with her former friend (and fellow “Vanderpump Rules” cast member) Raquel Leviss. Sandoval and Leviss, 29, eventually publicly admitted to the affair and issued apologies. But in an interview with Howie Mandel released on April 11, Sandoval claimed he tried to break up with Madix on Valentine’s Day before she learned about the affair. In a May interview on “Call Her Daddy,” Madix said that after a romantic date, Sandoval opened a conversation about them splitting but nothing was resolved.

On May 17, news broke that Sandoval and Leviss weren’t moving forward with a relationship (though they were never in one officially), and things came to a head during the three-part “Vanderpump Rules” reunion, which concluded on June 7, as viewers saw Sandoval and Leviss apologize profusely to Madix. In August, Leviss sparked backlash when she addressed the affair on the “Bravo Tea With Jared B” podcast, saying that she “would not be involved in this affair secrecy type of situation if I thought that there was longevity in this relationship between Tom and Ariana. She also added that “the people closest to them could see that their relationship hasn’t been what they portray on camera, and Tom always told me they’re a brand.”

Madix, meanwhile, has kept busy since the breakup. She’s set to release a recipe book called “Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches” in December, and she’s also a formidable contender on “Dancing With the Stars”‘s 32nd season. And of course, it looks like she’s all wrapped up in a new romance.
