Ariana Madix marked her upcoming 38th birthday, accompanied by her new partner, Daniel Wai. 

Sharing updates on Instagram, Wai wrote, "She thought she was coming here for dinner, but got surprised by @bradxbrad on the plane," and tagged Madix's best friend, Bradley Kearns. The trio then headed to the renowned 2023 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, where Madix's circle of friends joined them at the festival to commemorate her upcoming birthday. 

Amid the vibrant atmosphere, Wai shared an adorable photo of him hugging Madix on Instagram as they stood in front of the main stage, eagerly awaiting Kendrick Lamar's headlining performance.

After the festivities, Madix, Wai, and their entourage continued the birthday celebrations at the Lower Manhattan hotspot, Goldbar. Per Page Six, videos posted on Bravolebrity's Instagram Story showcased the lively atmosphere, filled with dancing and flowing champagne.

Madix, who switched into a stylish ensemble of jeans and a plunging white cropped cardigan, swayed to the beat of the music, relishing every moment while sitting at a VIP table in the club.

In one of the videos, Kearns captured the infectious energy as he and Madix showcased their dance moves to the sounds of OutKast's hit song, "The Way You Move." Kearns playfully pondered in the caption, "Are we moving to New York? Are we New Yorkers now?"

Fans showered Wai with praises in the comments section of his post, applauding him for organizing the surprise celebration for his girlfriend.

"Finally got a real man that doesn't sing karaoke for a living," a fan commented, taking a playful jab at Sandoval. "Finally, a real man. Not the self-centered one that shaves his face and hogs the flat iron! Good job!" another fan added.

Madix has been linked with Wai since March, when they met at a wedding in Mexico, which she attended just over a week after ending her nine-year relationship with Sandoval. 

The publicized breakup was a result of Sandoval's scandalous affair with their "Vanderpump Rules" co-star Leviss. In April, Madix and Wai attended Coachella together and were spotted kissing at the music festival. In May, a source revealed to People magazine that Madix has been telling her friends that she is "falling in love" with her new partner.

After the three-part "Vanderpump Rules" reunion concluded, Madix hopped on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City. 

In the final episode, tensions escalated as the "Something About Her" star labeled Leviss as "diabolical" for engaging in an affair with her boyfriend. The blonde beauty didn't hold back, expressing her desire for nothing but the "worst" for her former friend. 

During the reunion, Madix and Sandoval also failed to find common ground. This intense reunion was filmed in late March. Following that, Leviss sought help by checking into a mental health facility while Sandoval embarked on a tour with his band.

As anticipation for the upcoming season of "Vanderpump Rules" builds, Madix has been vocal about her reluctance to film alongside Sandoval and Leviss.

In a May interview with The New York Times, Madix said, "I have nothing to say to either of them." She added, "Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck."
