Ariana Madix forgot all about the Tom Sandoval drama during Coachella. The Vanderpump Rules star was seen kissing new man Daniel Wai while dancing at Coachella, according to TMZ’s footage. In the video, Ariana and Daniel are dancing in the crowd when she wraps her arm around him. They share a steamy kiss before continuing to dance.
Ariana and Daniel spent a lot of time together while out in the desert. They certainly weren’t trying to hide the fact that they were hanging out! The fitness coach shared a cozy selfie with Ariana on his Instagram Story.
Ariana met Daniel at a “mutual friend’s wedding in Mexico,” a source told ET. “He’s a sweet guy.” Daniel supported Ariana as she got a tattoo at Coachella. “They stood together arm in arm while Ariana waited to get a tattoo. When she was consulting with the tattoo artist, Ariana and Daniel seemed comfortable together,” the source noted.
The Vanderpump Rules star definitely deserved a fun weekend amid all the ongoing fallout from Scandoval. In case you’ve been living under a rock, Ariana recently discovered that Tom and Raquel Leviss had been having a months-long affair while she and Tom were still together.
Ariana broke her silence about the situation in a March 16 Instagram message. She wrote, “To say I have been devastated and broken is an understatement. However, I know that I am not in this alone. So many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels.”
Tom, in his first interview since the scandal surfaced, claimed that he and Ariana had actually broken up on Valentine’s Day before she’d learned about his affair with Raquel. He said that Ariana was “completely in denial” about the breakup at first. Meanwhile, Raquel checked into a mental health treatment center in Arizona on April 14.
