Ariana Madix Shares Rare Insight Into Her Relationship with Daniel Wai: “Marry Me In”

Ariana Madix's relationship with Daniel Wai is still going strong. The Vanderpump Rules alum started seeing her bi-coastal boyfriend in 2023, and their love has continued to last.

Daniel took to Instagram earlier this week, where he gave a look inside at their relationship while they attended Coachella 2025. In the photos, Ariana and Daniel can be seen showing off their abs in the middle of the desert hanging out at the festival, posing with their friend group, smiling alongside the members of Yo Gabba Gabba!, and jamming out to the music. But Daniel was also able to snap some intimate photos of him with Ariana, capturing her sitting on his shoulders and cuddling up to him during one night of the festival.

"3rd times the charm!!!" Daniel wrote in the caption of the post.

Ariana took to the comments of the post, where she agreed that this was the best weekend ever. "Marry me in Mojave. Bury me at Zenyara," she wrote, referring to one of the Coachella 2025 stages and one of the after parties. 

Ariana and Daniel have a very extensive history with the Indio, California music festival. As Daniel stated in the caption of his post, this is the third time that he has attended the music festival with Ariana. In April 2023, the couple (who weren't officially a couple just yet) attended the music festival together with a group of friends. Ariana was newly single after ending her relationship with Tom Sandoval and had just met Daniel at a mutual friend's wedding in March 2023.

During a May 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Ariana referred to Coachella 2023 as "the time of my life." "I'll just say that I am very happy and I am very satisfied," she said during the show. 

Ariana Madix reveals what her relationship with Daniel Wai has taught her

Ariana is still very happy with her relationship. She spoke to People in March, where she opened up about how Daniel appreciates all of the things about her. "He's taught me that the things that I perceive as imperfections or flaws are non-existent to him," she noted. "There's things that I'll say, like, 'I hate this about myself, I hate that about myself,' and without him ever hearing me say that, or him even knowing, he'll be like, 'Man, I love this about you.'"

She continued, relaying the lessons that she has learned from Daniel. "He's taught me not to focus on those things because someone who loves you doesn't even see that," she added. "And if they do say it, they think it's amazing about you."
