Ariana Madix packs on the PDA with fitness trainer Daniel Wai at airport

She raised eyebrows when she was spotted packing the PDA with a handsome new man following her divorce from Tom Sandoval.

And sparks continued to fly for Ariana Madix and fitness coach Daniel Wai after their beloved trip to Coachella.

The couple were seen cuddling passionately when Ariana, 37, dropped him off at LAX on Monday.

The lovebirds closed their eyes as they pursed their lips at the curb and even held hands.

She placed her hands intimately around his neck as he held her bare waist.

When they weren’t kissing, they looked at each other tenderly and she smiled at him.

Wai later took to Instagram to reveal that he traveled to New York. “Back from the desert,” he wrote in a video about him at the airport.

Fans will surely be happy to see Ariana move on after her heartbreaking divorce from longtime partner Tom, who cheated on her with fellow Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss.

One surprising person who is happy to see Ariana with a new man is her ex Tom.

Speak with TMZ on Tuesday, Tom said of her recent encounter with Daniel, “I love that.”

When asked if he wanted her to move on, he replied, “Yes, I do.” Really and truly.’

“I’m really happy,” he said when asked if he was happy that she might have found a new person.

He also said he didn’t text her.

Tom also addressed the controversy involving Miraval for suggesting he stay with them: “I think they were really unprofessional and I think that was pretty tacky for a place like that nature… to do that sort of thing to do.’

He also said he would not take any action against them and did not know how Raquel was doing.

He also spoke of the continued interest in the scandal, telling the outlet that he believed people should put the controversy behind them.

When asked if he was surprised by the continued interest, he said, “It’s ridiculous. The people who perpetuate it the most, you know the squad of it all,” he said, without naming some of his female cast members.

Madix’s sighting comes after it was revealed that Leviss had checked into a mental health facility — amid the lingering fallout from her affair with Sandoval.

The reality star chose to enter the voluntary institution before her affair was discovered, reports ET.

A representative for Raquel said, “Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would go to a voluntary mental health facility.

Leviss’ representative added that she was not in a facility for substance abuse problems.

Last month, Leviss released a statement revealing that she was analyzing her own behavior and spoke to a counselor after the affair came to light.

She said, “I reflect on my choices, speak with a counselor, and I learn things about myself, such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved.

“I have sought emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy with no regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively impacting others and often prioritizing the intimate connection over my friendships. I am taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices.’

As for how their relationship blossomed from platonic to intimate, Sandoval opened up about his attraction to Leviss when he and Madix drifted apart after nearly a decade together.

He went on to explain how he and Madix had taken on their own lives and the romance between them had gone stale while appearing on Howie Mandel’s podcast.

The Missouri native said their relationship was generally “just a lack of intimacy” and “connection.”

He felt like they stuck together to ‘keep the optics this high’ [they] were solid’ for their reality show and other business endeavors.

Before he turned 40, he recalled thinking his life “looked very bleak” and began to think his “best years were over.”

Prior to his affair, he said his “confidence was wiped out” and any sexual experience with him would be like hooking up with “a 19-year-old” on “his second time” when he lost his “game.”

‘I’m not saying it is [Ariana’s] wrong, we just didn’t have that intimacy,” Sandoval claimed.

After hearing his guest’s side, Mandel urged fans to have “empathy and compassion” for Sandoval, who previously said he felt “one of the most hated people in America” ​​for betraying Madix .

On March 11, Sandoval apologized for cheating on Ariana with Leviss on social media. He vowed after the infidelity to “think and work on myself.”
