Ariana Biermann recently left Kim Zolciak in disbelief… in a totally good way.
As Ariana approached another career milestone, Kim took a moment to show her 23-year-old daughter some love on Instagram. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum posted a photo of Ariana sitting in a car and looking quite stunning with a sun-kissed glow.
“Unbelievable,” Kim captioned the Story, followed by six heart-eye emojis.

The appreciation post further underscored the mother and daughter’s supportive bond. It’s no secret that the past couple of years have been difficult for the family, due in large part to Kim’s “messy” split from Kroy Biermann. The couple announced their separation in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage. Since then, the couple has filed for divorce multiple times and sold their longtime family home for $2.75 million.

Ariana opened up about her family’s hardships in a July interview with People magazine, admitting she “unintentionally” took a side in her parents’ ongoing divorce.
“I’m trying to find my way still in the middle of it without disrespecting anybody or making anybody upset,” she told the outlet. “But I think it gets hard at times, and unintentionally, you can be going more towards one side than the other when they’re fighting the kind of battles that my parents are going through right now.”

“I started posting on Instagram. I got my first brand deal when I was 14,” Ariana said in an episode interview. “I was doing like three posts a week. You can get paid astronomical [amounts] to do a story or to do an Instagram post… Unfortunately, my parents took my money.
“I can’t say exactly what they used it on, because I just found out that it was gone two years ago,” Ariana continued. “I don’t even know how much money I made over the time period. Nobody was honest. There was no transparency. And I have no idea where it actually went.”
Ariana Biermann won’t allow money to affect her relationship with Kim Zolciak
Ariana, who relocated to New York City in 2024, said she was still sending Kim cash to cover various home expenses; however, she later clarified that the money transfers were loans and that her mom was “very good at paying [her] back.” She addressed the situation in the June 29 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, insisting she would never allow money to affect her and Kim’s bond.
“I think that nobody wants to be put in situations that they are put into, and my mom, no matter what, will be my best friend forever,” she said. “Money should never ruin a relationship with your family. I can make more money, and God blesses us in that way, and I have my mom, and that’s all that matters.”
