Ariana Biermann appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she revealed her status with Hudson McLeroy.
While also shading Georgia McCann, 27, for leaking the news on last week’s episode, admitting that things were strained with Kroy Biermann, 40, and sharing her thoughts on Kim Zolciak‘s new boyfriend, Kyle Mowitz, the 24-year-old Next Gen NYC star admitted that she’s currently estranged from Riley Burruss, 23, and discussed her past flirting with Liam Obergfoll, 29.
“We are together, but it’s kind of like we’re still figuring it out,” Ariana said of her and Hudson, 24, on the July 22 episode of WWHL. “I don’t want to have the back and forth again. I just want to make sure that we can both still grow independently.”
Reflecting on their October 2025 split, Ariana admitted it “felt very final.”
“I was moving. We hadn’t lived together for two years. It felt like it was going to be very different this time, and I think that we were both going through a hard time throughout the beginning of this year, and we kind of found our comfort back with each other. So we’re taking it day by day,” she explained.
As for Georgia leaking their reunion news, Ariana revealed she reached out.
“I texted her, [and said], ‘Girl, why are you still talking about my relationship?’ … I think that she does something, a lot of things sometimes for the benefit of herself, not thinking how it will affect other people.”
According to Ariana, she will “always love” Hudson and considers him “like family.”
Regarding her relationship with stepfather Kroy, who has been entangled in a messy divorce and custody battle with her mother for years, Ariana revealed that things weren’t great.
“Unfortunately no,” she explained.
That said, she loves her mom’s new boyfriend.
“He’s great,” she declared.
Moving on to her drama with Riley, who felt unsupported by her amid her drama with Georgia, Ariana admitted to feeling like she’d been a good friend.
“As I got to watch it back, I did what I knew in that moment to do, and like, the best way I knew how to support a friend. So I was just, still, to this day, want to know how I can do best to make her feel supported,” she shared. “I think that how everyone feels is valid to themselves, and if she didn’t feel I supported her, I wanted the information on how to do it better.”
Ariana then confirmed they were no longer in touch.
“[She] actually hasn’t spoken to me since it came out,” she revealed.
Also on the live broadcast, after admitting to feeling a type of way about Shai Fruchter, 25, talking to Hudson about her flirting with Liam, she denied Gia Giudice‘s claim that he was a generally “messy” person.
“I think that the beginning of the season, Shai is a little bit different than kind of he finishes off. I do agree that when Gia’s saying he’s messy — right now, he’s being messy, like, he’s telling my business, you know? But I think that his intention wasn’t to do that or to make anyone feel like that at the same time,” she reasoned.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Ariana was asked about her first impression of Rowan Henchy, 23, and if she’d met Rowan’s mom, actress Brooke Shields, 61.
“The first time we met, we talked for three hours, and she offered me to move into her house because I was moving out of Hudson’s house, and she was like, ‘Please come live with me. Bring your dog.’ [She’s] incredible,” Ariana confirmed. “And yes, I’ve met Brooke, and she’s amazing.”
Then, after denying that Shai was more loyal to Hudson and Charlie Zakkour, 30, than the women of the series, Ariana teased a potential season two romance with Liam.
“You’ll definitely see that go on throughout the season, but he is a really great person,” she shared.
Next Gen NYC season two airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
