The couple was first romantically linked back in April, whenthey were spotted kissing and holdinghands at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California. At the time, it had been a little over a month since Madix had learned of her longtime boyfriendTom Sandoval’s monthslong secret with her best friend andVPRcostarRaquel Leviss.

After the pair’s PDA-packed Coachella outing, an insider told PEOPLE Madix wasn’t looking to rush into anything “serious” and was just “having fun” with Wai. However, just one month later, a source revealed to PEOPLE thatthings were already getting seriousbetween the two.
“Ariana’s been telling people in her circle that she’s falling in love with him,” the source said. “They met in Mexico at a mutual friend’s wedding, shortly afterScandovalbroke. At first, it looked like just a light rebound fling, but they have a special bond. Even though he lives in New York City, they’ve been able to make it work.”
“It’s happening faster than she thought but he treats her well, they’re having fun, and she’s happy to be moving on to this next chapter with such an incredible guy,” the source added.
In June, Wai treated Madix to a romantic “date night” to the Orchard Quarter candlelight concert tocelebrate her birthday. He also paid tribute to her with a sweet Instagram post, writing, “Happy birthday to the kindest and most generous woman I know@arianamadix.”

“You know, I’m enjoying myself and I would say I’m very happy right now,” she told hostHoda Kotb.
She also shared the story of how she met Wai, just days after her split from Sandoval. “I met him at a wedding about 10 days after all of this,” she recalled. “And in no way shape or form did I go into that thinking anything, and I’ve just been taking things very, very slow and really enjoying myself.”
She added of Wai, “It’s just really lovely to interact with someone who is so nice and kind and caring.”
