New York-based fitness coach and personal trainer Daniel Wai and his girlfriend, Ariana Madix, the beloved star of Vanderpump Rules, aren’t expecting any kids despite prevailing rumors.
Above all, Ariana has been vocal in the past about not wanting children; however, in a conversation on Vanderpump Rules, Season 11, Episode 2, in February 2024, she shared that her boyfriend, Daniel, has made her reconsider this choice.
She said that Daniel has opened her mind to the possibility, saying,
“He’s the first person that I’ve met that I’m like, ‘Oh, is that what that would be like?“
This suggests that Daniel is a supportive partner who opened her mind to the idea, even though she hadn’t considered it seriously before.
Currently, there is no indication of pregnancy or a confirmed source stating whether they are expecting.
This isn’t the first time Ariana Madix has tangled herself in pregnancy rumors. In September 2020, she made headlines on the web after sharing an Instagram story that showed her belly, which appeared to be a baby bump.
On September 27, 2020, Ariana shared a playful selfie on Instagram Story, showing off her bare belly and joking that she’s “not pregnant, just bloated” after enjoying a bean and cheese burrito from Del Taco.

Dressed casually in a black bra and plaid pajama pants, with her hair in a messy topknot, Ariana cradled her stomach for laughs, captioning the post, “Not pregnant just bloated and starved for attention.”
Her post quickly caught attention, with some speculating that she might be expecting, while others wondered if she was subtly reacting to pregnancy news from her Vanderpump Rules co-stars.
Later, Ariana Madix took to social media to shut down pregnancy rumors with her witty statement. She quickly set the record straight in a follow-up Story, saying,
Some of y’all are completely devoid of humor and think everything is ‘shade.’ But I guess I got that attention I was desperate for anyway. BTW it’s a bean and cheese burrito and Del Taco is the father.”
Ariana has always been open about embracing her body and practicing self-love.
