Lala Kent celebrates Ariana Madix ‘banging’ Daniel Wai: ‘Heartbreak what?’

Reality TV

Lala Kent is here for Ariana Madix moving on from ex Tom Sandoval with Daniel Wai.

“She’s like, ‘Heartbreak what? Like, I’m solid. I’m banging a fine-looking man,’” Kent said of her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star on Wednesday’s episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast.

Kent, 32, emphasized that Madix, 37, is “f–king thriving” these days with both her career and love life.

“She’s looking at it like, ‘Look at my life. I’m happy,’” she continued. “She said, ‘Wow, I don’t have anxiety anymore. This is strange.’”

Kent added that she is thankful people finally “get to see Ariana the way that I’ve always looked at Ariana.”

Since Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss was exposed on March 3, Madix has found herself starring in major fashion campaigns, enjoying a girls’ getaway abroad and even making out with a new man.

She was first spotted locking lips with Wai — a New York City-based personal trainer — at the Coachella music festival earlier this month.

Madix has stayed quiet on her new romance, but she was photographed sharing a smooch with Wai again later that weekend outside an airport before his flight home to the Big Apple.

Shortly after the photos surfaced, Sandoval, 40, said he was “really happy” that his ex moved on.

The embattled bar owner, for his part, has been spending time at a nature resort while “taking a break” from his romantic relationship with Leviss.

“We’re not putting any label on it,” he said on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast on April 11.

Leviss, 28, has since checked herself into a mental health facility amid continued backlash for her months-long dalliance with Sandoval, which fans have dubbed Scandoval.

Page Six previously reported that Madix dumped her boyfriend of nearly 10 years after she found a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone.

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
