Could wedding bells be on the horizon for Ariana Madix and Daniel Wai? Speculation is swirling after the 40-year-old former Vanderpump Rules star was seen with her longtime beau, Daniel, 42, at the premiere of Wuthering Heights at Hollywood’s iconic TCL Chinese Theatre. Their appearance last Wednesday set tongues wagging about a possible engagement.

The rumors began when Bravo Snark Side shared a series of photos on Instagram on January 29, drawing attention to a ring that could be an engagement ring on Ariana’s finger. The caption teased followers with the question, “Is she possibly engaged? Also damn.”
After the premiere, Ariana jetted off to the sun-soaked shores of Turks & Caicos. She was spotted relaxing on the beach with Katie Maloney, 39, and her boyfriend, Nick Martin, 43. Nick and Katie have been an item since late 2024. In a picture posted by Quickies founder Bailey Stanworth, 35, Ariana and Daniel, who have been together since the spring of 2023 following her breakup with Tom Sandoval, 43, appeared very much in love, sharing a tender kiss in a cabana at the luxurious Villa Paradiso Del Mar resort.
“Is she possibly engaged? Also damn,” Bravo Snark Side wrote on Instagram in the caption of a series of photos on January 29, one of which highlighted a potential engagement ring on her ring finger.
Following the appearance, Ariana was spotted hitting the beach with Katie Maloney, 39, and her boyfriend, Nick Martin, 43, whom she’s been dating since late 2024. And, in one photo shared by Quickies founder Bailey Stanworth, 35, the couple, who have been dating since spring 2023, shortly after Ariana’s split from Tom Sandoval, 43, looked quite cozy as they enjoyed a kiss in a cabana at the Villa Paradiso Del Mar resort.
In December 2024, after previously suggesting that she wasn’t interested in getting married or having kids, Ariana admitted to Us Weekly that she was no longer completely opposed to the idea.
She also gushed over their relationship.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who feels the way about me that Daniel feels. He thinks I am the most beautiful person in the world, the funniest person in the world, the smartest,” she shared. “He’s constantly telling me how smart I am and how much he believes in me, and I just feel like having that kind of partner makes everything feel so easy. I never feel stressed. I never feel worried, and he’s always reassuring me, and it feels really nice.”
Ariana Madix was featured in a full-time role on Vanderpump Rules from season three through season 11 and has been hosting Love Island USA since season six.
