Ariana Madix gushes about her ‘cute’ new fitness trainer beau Daniel Wai

Ariana Madix is ​​smiling again after the implosion of her nine-year relationship with Tom Sandoval.

In an interview with Peoplethe reality star gushed about the new guy she started seeing, Daniel Wai, a fitness trainer she met at a friend’s wedding in Mexico shortly after Tom’s affair with Vanderpump Rules castmate Raquel Leviss came to light.

She raved about her new love interest: “He’s really cute and just the nicest person.”

“I think in so many ways, not just romantically, but professionally and on so many levels, it feels like a whole new and amazing energy right now.”

Ariana, 37, also shed light on how she is currently feeling as she recovers from the heartbreak of the ‘Scandoval’ betrayal.

After being together for nearly a decade, Ariana split from Tom in March after learning he had been having a months-long affair with her boyfriend and fellow castmate Raquel.

Initially, Ariana thought she would never be able to trust again until she was urged by a friend to still have faith in others.

‘Having her say that, and hearing it from others, really helped me move forward,’ she explains. “I’ll get there, at my own pace.”

While she’s still healing, Ariana said she “feels relief” now.

“It’s been a process to get there, and I know it hasn’t been that long, but it definitely feels like I’m coming out the other side and the journey is over,” she told People.

“Where I am right now, honestly — I’m at a point right now where I just feel like I’m amazing. And I don’t think I ever thought that was possible.’

Fans have been gripped by the infidelity, dubbed ‘Scandoval’, since it broke out in March.

Last week’s raucous season finale of Vanderpump Rules captured the immediate fallout from the betrayal.

Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the cast confront Raquel and Tom about their scandalous affair.

Part one of the three-part reunion premieres this week on Bravo, and a trailer teased all the drama that awaits fans when it officially releases on May 24.

The sneak peak saw Ariana get rid of Raquel over her fling with then-boyfriend Tom.

After the former pageant queen admitted to being “super selfish” for sleeping with her former boyfriend’s partner for nine years, Madix fired back that “selfish doesn’t cover it.”

The TV personality, who wore a sassy red dress with bold cutouts under her breasts and across her midsection, then listed adjectives she thought fit Leviss better, such as “diabolical, demented and inhuman.”

There was no shortage of swear words from Madix and the rest of the cast, who hurled numerous insults at Sandoval and his mistress throughout the episode.
