Inside Ariana Madix and beau Daniel Wai’s fun-filled Fourth of July celebration

Reality TV

Ariana Madix and her new flame, Daniel Wai, embraced all the American traditions while celebrating their first Fourth of July as a couple.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star and her personal trainer beau rang in America’s birthday on Tuesday at a pool party before dancing the night away at a bar in Santa Monica, Calif.

Wai — who flew from New York City to Los Angeles for Madix’s birthday last week — started off the day with a workout alongside his lady love’s BFF, Bradley Kearns.

After the two got their sweat on, they joined Madix, 38, and some other friends to sip on cocktails while sitting poolside.

Madix and Wai eventually jumped into the pool and were joined by “Pump Rules” alum Dayna Kathan and Madix’s close friend Logan Cochran.

The Something About Her co-founder dressed patriotically in a red two-piece bikini with sparkles on the straps and black chunky sunglasses.

The crew continued the party by going to Élephante in downtown Santa Monica, where they met up with a whole crew of fellow partygoers.

Madix and Wai appeared to be in the best of spirits as they held hands, smiled and danced alongside their group of friends and a few new additions — including her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Katie Maloney.

“So I thought I was going to a sit down dinner… did not disappoint,” Wai wrote over an Instagram Story video panning the packed bar.

The group sipped on espresso martinis, danced and took slow-motion videos while standing on a moving pedestal with one another.

The Drink From Home founder changed into a black crop top with black skinny jeans and made her look more festive with a $325 Mother Denim short-sleeve button-up with colorful fruit labels all over.

She accessorized her look with black cat-eye sunglasses and influencer Serena Kerrigan’s black bucket hat with rainbow “F-KS” embroidered on the top.

Meanwhile, Wai kept it more casual in a white T-shirt and black pants while holding a small white backpack. To cap off the fun-filled night, the group watched fireworks outside.

Madix and Wai have been seeing each other since they were spotted making out at Coachella in April.

The two have continued to pack on the PDA ever since, and Wai surprised Madix by taking her to the 2023 Governors Ball Music Festival in NYC last month.

Madix’s romance with Wai comes after she broke up with longtime partner Tom Sandoval in March upon finding out that he was having an affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss.
