Ariana Madix celebrated her upcoming 38th birthday with her new beau, Daniel Wai, after confronting her cheating ex Tom Sandoval at the explosive “Vanderpump Rules” reunion.
“She thought she was coming here for a dinner, but got surprised by @bradxbrad on the plane,” Wai wrote on Instagram Sunday, tagging Madix’s best friend Bradley Kearns.
Wai added that the trio headed to the 2023 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, where several of Madix’s other friends met up with them to celebrate her big day.
The fitness coach, 37, shared a photo of himself hugging the reality star, whose actual birthday is June 24, as they posed in front of the main stage during Kendrick Lamar’s headlining performance.
Madix beamed as she posed for the sweet snap with her man while wearing a zebra-print shirt and a white bucket hat emblazoned with the phrase “I was born cool.”
Meanwhile, Wai wore showed off his biceps in a white muscle tee and rocked silver-framed sunglasses.
Following the festival, the Bravolebrity, the personal trainer and their crew headed over to Lower Manhattan hotspot Goldbar, where they celebrated with dancing and champagne, according to videos shared on her Instagram Story.
Madix, who changed into jeans and a plunging white cropped cardigan, appeared to be having the time of her life as she moved to the beat while sitting at a VIP table in the club.
“Are we moving to New York? Are we New Yorkers now?” Kearns captioned a video of himself and Madix dancing to OutKast’s song “The Way You Move.”
Fans flooded the comments section of Wai’s post to commend him for throwing his girlfriend a thoughtful surprise celebration.
“This is how a queen should be treated on her birthday,” one supporter wrote.
“If he wanted to, he would! And he wants to 😊😊,” a second fan commented.
“After all is said and done aren’t you glad that the universe gave you a nudge into a better life 🙌❤️,” a third added.
“This is exactly what she deserves & more 💕,” another wrote.
“Finally got a real man that doesn’t sing karaoke for a living,” a fifth user commented, taking a jab at Sandoval’s struggling cover band.
“UPGRADING @arianamadix ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🍾,” one more added.
Madix’s early birthday festivities came just days after the bombshell third and final “Pump Rules” Season 10 reunion episode aired, revealing Raquel Leviss wanted to be in a throuple with the Something About Her co-owner and Sandoval.
Leviss, 28, and Sandoval, 40, had been secretly hooking up for months before Madix found out on March 1 and dumped her boyfriend of nearly a decade.
The drama shocked the Bravosphere and caused a divide among the cast, with the aftermath of the breakup playing out in front of cameras.
Madix swiftly moved on from the Tom Tom co-owner when she was spotted making out with Wai at Coachella on March 23.
Since then, the two lovebirds have continued to flaunt their PDA and enjoy romantic moments together.

Meanwhile, Sandoval and Leviss claim they are no longer together, though Madix believes otherwise.
Madix claimed she has received letters addressed to Sandoval at their shared $2 million California home that Leviss sent from the mental health facility she checked into amid the scandal, which fans have dubbed Scandoval.
Leviss, who was best friends with Madix prior to the affair coming to light, has shown little remorse for her part.
However, she broke down crying at the end of the reunion, prompting even Madix to change her tune.
