Ariana Biermann is once again clearing up questions surrounding her love life. Since she ended her longtime relationship with Hudson McLeroy, the “Next Gen NYC” star has been linked to more than one familiar face.
Her recent appearances with McLeroy renewed speculation that the former couple was back together. However, per Biermann’s latest update, things are not that simple.
Meanwhile, Liam Obergfoll has made it clear his connection with Biermann is still alive and well. The reality star said the pair are “still talking” after viewers watched their relationship develop during “Next Gen NYC” season 2.
Ariana Biermann Says She’s Not Dating Hudson McLeroy Again
It has been difficult to define Biermann’s relationship with McLeroy since their October 2025 breakup.
Most recently, however, E! News reported that Biermann is not dating her longtime ex again, despite all the reconciliation speculation. “I am a single girl … He will always be like a dear friend and close person in my life,” she stated.
This update comes after several months of signs suggesting the pair were working on rekindling their flame.
Just weeks earlier, Biermann had publicly described her relationship with McLeroy differently. During a July appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen”, she was asked if they were back together.
“Yes, we are together,” Biermann said at the time, suggesting that the pair did give their relationship another chance.
However, even then, she stated that their situation was not completely settled. According to her, they were still working through the issues that contributed to their previous breakup. Biermann also told Bravo that she and McLeroy were taking things “day by day.”
The former couple appeared together at the Next Gen NYC Season 2 premiere party in June. They were openly affectionate at the event, which further fueled speculation that they were back together.
When asked why their second short-lived reunion ended, she had this to say, “Our paths right now are just still in two different ways. We gave it a shot one more time, and it just didn’t work out, but we’re in a great place still with each other.”
With that relationship status updated, attention now turns to another connection that developed during “Next Gen NYC’ Season 2.
Liam Obergfoll says He and Biermann are ‘Talking’
Obergfoll addressed his relationship with Biermann during a new interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
While speaking to co-hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy, he said, blushing, “We’re talking. We’re just talking”
He added that they are having fun and “keeping it casual.”
The pair’s connection began after Obergfoll joined “Next Gen NYC” in its second season. Biermann had recently separated from McLeroy when she met Obergfoll, and their attraction quickly became part of the show.
Gia Giudice introduced them during Emira D’Spain’s birthday party. Obergfoll immediately admitted that he found Biermann attractive.
McLeroy noticed their chemistry as well.
Despite being separated from Biermann, he approached Obergfoll in an attempt to establish boundaries concerning his ex. However, his attempt had the opposite effect on Biermann. When she learned of what he did, she joked that it made her even more interested in spending time with the newcomer, Obergfoll.
Their relationship later became romantic enough for Obergfoll to ask her out. Season 2 footage has also teased more intimate moments between the pair.
Their relationship has apparently continued beyond filming.
Page Six reported that both “Next Gen NYC” stars recently hung out at the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th” premiere party.
The Next Gen NYC Newcomer Has Already Connected With Kim Zolciak
Obergfoll’s connection with Biermann has already extended beyond the reality star herself.
During his interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea”, Obergfoll revealed that he has also spoken with Kim Zolciak, Biermann’s famous mother.
“I’ve had a couple of Facetimes with her,” the actor revealed, describing the RHOA alum as “awesome.” and “so cool.” Although they have yet to meet in person, Obergfoll teased that it could happen soon.
New episodes of “Next Gen NYC” air on Bravo every Wednesday at 9 p.m ET, and arrive for streaming on Peacock the following day.
