Ariana Madix is all smiles without cheater Tom Sandoval on NYC press tour
Ariana Madix is living her best life post-Scandoval.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star, 37, was spotted looking carefree and happy in New York City Thursday amid her press tour for her hit Bravo series.
Madix was snapped by paparazzi wearing a white button down crop top that flaunted her fit midriff and tan high-waisted pants.
She waved and flashed the cameras a big smile as she walked into the NBC studios at Rockefeller Center, where she was filming interviews with several national morning talk shows.
Madix is currently making the media rounds as the Season 10 finale of “Vanderpump Rules” just aired Wednesday night.
The explosive episode featured the fallout of the end of the reality star’s relationship with her now-ex boyfriend Tom Sandoval, who cheated on her with her former pal Raquel Leviss.
The scandal has captivated the masses for months, but Madix is only now sharing her side of the story for the first time.
The Something About Her sandwich shop owner kicked off the press tour Wednesday night on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” where she dropped several bombshells.
Madix confessed to Bravo head honcho Andy Cohen that she knew about Sandoval’s past dalliance with a woman dubbed “Miami Girl” and revealed that Leviss, 28, had allegedly been sending hand-written letters to her ex to their shared California home.
Early on Thursday, the “Fancy Af Cocktails” co-author hit up the “Today” show first to speak with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager about Sandoval’s affair.
“It’s not easy,” Madix confessed of having to watch back clips of her and her ex and constantly relive their relationship — despite beaming with joy in the pap shots outside.
However, she reconciled, “Sometimes it’s painful, but I think that the person that I thought that I loved or that I miss sometimes is not really there.”

After she wrapped that interview, Madix then made a stop at “The View” later in the day, where she chatted with hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin and debunked rumors that Scandoval was staged.
The Bravolebrity has been a so-called “It Girl” ever since her split from Sandoval, 40.
Aside from media attention, she landed sponsorship deals with Bloomingdales, Uber and a Lifetime movie role.
Madix also shared on “WWHL” Wednesday night that her other reason to smile is her new beau Daniel Wai, who makes her feel “happy and satisfied.”
The couple was spotted earlier this week enjoying a Central Park date and romantic dinner ahead of the Bravo star’s busy press tour.
