Ariana Madix’s boyfriend has come to her defense amidst accusations from fans regarding her physical appearance. Daniel Wai, a 41-year-old fitness trainer, clarified on his Instagram Story that Madix achieved her toned physique for 'Love Island USA' through hard work at the gym and a strict diet regimen, denying any allegations of plastic surgery.
Wai emphasized that Madix dedicated 2 to 3 hours daily to exercise and maintained a disciplined diet. He also addressed speculations about sharing Madix's workout routines, stating that fitness training is his profession and he prefers to keep it private.
Madix, 39, who hosted the sixth season of 'Love Island USA,' recently addressed claims made by a TikTok user regarding cosmetic procedures she allegedly underwent. She admitted to receiving Botox in specific areas, minimal lip filler, and a neck procedure in 2019. Madix clarified that she had not undergone blepharoplasty and emphasized that she would inform her followers if she pursued any further enhancements.
Wai's support for Madix follows their public celebration of her return to Broadway in 'Chicago: The Musical,' where she reprises her role as Roxie Hart until September 1. The couple, who were first linked at Coachella in April 2023, have since enjoyed various experiences together, including a cast trip to San Francisco and a visit to Fiji during the filming of 'Love Island.'
Madix expressed admiration for Wai's positive presence during a podcast episode, describing him as a grounding and calming influence in her life.
