Ariana Madix and Mauricio Umansky Just Realized They Have Something Major in Common

By Shannon Raphael

Ariana Madix and Mauricio Umansky may both reside in California and both appear on Bravo shows (Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, respectively), but they now have another major thing in common.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

The real estate agent and the Something About Her co-owner have been spending a lot of their free time in dance practice for their upcoming project, and working on their dance moves has proved to be a bonding experience in more ways than one. 

Ariana Madix's Connection to Mauricio Umansky

On September 21, Ariana took to Instagram to share a selfie of her "slaying her hair" while posing in front of a mirror. In the photo, Ariana is wearing a white t-shirt with lightning bolts on it, and her blonde tresses have been styled with loose curls. 

"[T]he only thing in my camera roll lately that isn’t dancing related..." she wrote in the caption of the post, along with an upside down smiley face emoji.

Mauricio can relate to the contents of Ariana's photo library now that the two are spending a lot of their time dancing. In the comments' section, he joked, "I’m suffering from the same symptoms lol." 

Ariana responded, "[I]t has taken over," to The Agency founder. She added two crying laughing emojis to her comment as well. 

Ariana Madix's Life Lately

Since Vanderpump Rules Season 10 concluded with Part 3 of the reunion in early June 2023, Ariana has been keeping very busy.

In addition to working closely with business partner Katie Maloney to get Something About Her open, Ariana has been sharing more about her relationship with fitness trainer Daniel Wai.

Ariana Madix and her boyfriend Daniel Wai take a photo together in Chicago.

"He's a very grounding, calming, positive energy," Ariana said on an episode of Scheana Shay's podcast in late August. "He's always trying to help with things."

The two aren't putting any sort of timeline on their relationship, and Ariana is going with the flow at the moment.

"I feel like I just want to keep going towards things that are positive, and so, I'm just going to keep doing what makes me happy and going in that direction, or at least trying to," she added on the podcast. "And he is someone who does bring a whole lot of happiness and really just calming and positive energy into my life, so I'm going to keep him around."
