Ariana Madix, 37, has been pictured making out with a new man at Coachella, just weeks after her ex Tom Sandoval’s affair went public.
The Bravo star was joined by a variety of friends for the event, as well as her new love interest, fitness coach Daniel Wai.
TMZ obtained photos of the duo kissing curbside at LAX, suggesting that the bond between them may be growing.
Videos from Coachella have since shown Ariana and Daniel dancing and kissing in a crowd while a performer was on stage.
Daniel is the first person Ariana has been linked to following her very public split from Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Sandoval.

Ariana was in a relationship with Tom when allegations he had been in a months-long affair with co-star Raquel Leviss emerged.
In early March, Ariana and Tom announced they were going their separate ways after nearly ten years together.
However, rumours of the affair began circulating in June last year, with Tom and Raquel’s relationship beginning months before.
A source told PEOPLE: “This has been going on for upwards of six months.
“All the while, Tom was sleeping next to Ariana in bed.”
The relationship collapse is expected to play out in Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules, currently airing on Bravo.
A source told Entertainment Tonight: “Tom and Raquel’s incident has created a major split in the group with almost everyone against Tom and Raquel.
“The group feels like Tom has been going through some sort of midlife crisis, with the creation of his band and acting out at times. The girls are rallying around Ariana, but know in time she’ll be OK.”
Tom finally addressed the split last month in a lengthy Instagram post.
The 39-year-old reality star urged fans to leave his bar, Schwartz and Sandy’s, out of it, and stressed that his business partners and employees have done “nothing wrong.”
He wrote: “Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger and disappointment towards me, but please leave Schwartz, my friends and family out of this situation. (sic)
“[Tom] Schwartz specifically only found out about this very recently, and most definitely did not condone my actions. This was a very personal thing.”
Tom then took to Instagram to write a public apology to Ariana, addressing the cheating scandal.
He wrote: “Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes, I was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.”
The restaurant owner and musician added that he feels “really horrible” for the impact of his actions on Ariana and “everyone around us.”
Tom has since spoken out on the kissing snaps of his ex-girlfriend, sharing that he couldn’t be “happier” for her.
He also addressed the ongoing interest in the scandal, telling TMZ he believed people needed to move on from the controversy.
He said: “It’s ridiculous. The people that are perpetuating it the most, you know the squad of it all.”
