The Vanderpump Rules cast member rang in her special day with a little help from her friends (and loved ones!) on Saturday, June 24, and she documented the special occasion on her Instagram feed. Keep scrolling to catch a glimpse of Ariana’s big day and to find out which of her castmates were on hand to give her some birthday love. 

Ariana’s 38th Birthday Dinner

The sandwich shop co-owner — who is set to open Something About Her with Katie Maloney sometime this summer (check out Katie’s birthday tributes to her business partner below!) — got a home-cooked meal featuring barbecue ribs, crab, potatoes, and lots more for her birthday courtesy of the new man in her life, Daniel Wai.

Ariana’s close pal Jared Lipscomb shared a video of the personal trainer cooking for the “unicorn de queen,” and the birthday girl herself re-shared the post on her Instagram Stories. 

The savory feast was followed by a white-frosted birthday cake and candles, and Ariana tagged her brother, Jeremy Madix, in a photo of the confection on her Stories.

Ariana and her pals kept the celebrations going by hitting the town afterward.
