The Vanderpump Rules star, 38, shared an adorable photo of her and the handsome fitness trainer smiling and touching noses.
Madix and Wai met at a mutual friend’s wedding, but were spotted kissing at last year’s Coachella festival.
Their Coachella date came just weeks after it was revealed that Madix’s ex-boyfriend, Sandoval, had been involved in a months-long affair with Rachel Leviss, a friend of Madix.
Madix and Sandoval had been dating since 2014 and were living together in a $2 million Valley Village home when the affair came to light in March 2023.
Her new man, Wai, made his Vanderpump Rules debut last January when he appeared on a FaceTime call with Madix.
The couple, who reside in both Los Angeles and New York City, have since shared information about their long-distance relationship.
On a recent episode of VPR, Madix opened up about the positives of their cross-coastal romance.
She stated through Bravo: ‘I feel like long distance has been very good for us in many ways. Because we’ve known each other just by talking all the time.
Wai went on to express that his busy schedule meant he would have otherwise had a difficult experience booking time to see his girlfriend.
“Happy birthday to the most handsome man I know, who always lets me take the first and last bite,” she wrote.
He said about long-distance dating: ‘It’s good and bad, right? I work so many jobs. I’m busy. I work seven days a week.
However, the physical trainer added that not being in the same city as Madix sometimes ‘sucks because I don’t see you.’
The Vanderpump Rules season 11 finale premieres next Tuesday, and Bravo recently revealed that the cast won’t be filming season 12 over the summer.
The successful program, said insiders TMZIt typically begins production each May and films through July.
Bravo executives “feel like they need to give the cast a break and let their lives breathe a little” after “Scandoval,” which has generated more than a year of headlines, as well as ongoing litigation, as a result of the messy split .
The story surrounding the cheating scandal, sources told the outlet, “has dried up at this point,” 14 months into the fallout from the affair.
The show’s producers want to let the cast relax before cameras start rolling again, sources told the outlet, leading to new storylines to explore in its post-Scandoval reboot.

The schedule change is not an indicator that the series may be in danger, as inside sources stressed to TMZ that the show is NOT canceled.
Madix has been tapped to host Peacock’s Love Island USA reality series, the outlet reported.
Production sources told the outlet that Madix’s schedule for that series, based in Fiji, was “an additional factor in the decision” Bravo made to delay filming Vanderpump Rules.
Bravo’s Andy Cohen called the show’s 11th season reunion “incredibly intense and electric,” according to the outlet.
