Overview
- Bravo footage and cast interviews show Ariana Biermann and newcomer Liam Obergfoll developed a mutual attraction on Next Gen NYC and that Liam invited her to meet his family.
- Early in Season 2 filming Hudson McLeroy confronted Liam and told him he was setting boundaries about pursuing his ex, a moment shown in producer confessionals.
- Page Six reported Friday that an anonymous source said Ariana and castmate Charlie Zakkour hooked up during filming, a claim that Bravo has not confirmed on the record.
- Ariana has publicly described her status with Hudson as ambiguous, told Watch What Happens Live they are "together but... figuring it out," admitted she made poor choices during the season, and said she is not speaking to her father Kroy Biermann.
- Bravo’s midseason trailer teases a closer Ariana–Charlie dynamic and the remaining episodes and reunion are expected to show whether the reported hookup changes friendships and who in the group is affected.
