Ariana Biermann is one proud sister.
Between her increasingly busy work schedule, the Next Gen NYC cast member flew to Atlanta to celebrate a major milestone for her little brother Kroy Jagger “KJ” Biermann. Ariana documented her travels in an August 11 TikTok video, explaining the purpose behind the quick trip.

“I only packed a carry-on because I’m literally going to Atlanta to see my brother’s first football game,” she said. “That’s the only reason I’m going home. I can’t miss that monumental moment. He’s a f-cking freshman! I feel like I’m still supposed to be in high school. It’s not really making sense.”
Ariana — who was joined by her longtime boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy — landed in her hometown just several hours later and immediately hit up one of her favorite ATL restaurants.
“It’s called Local,” she said before taking a bite of her grilled chicken. “I love it. Mmm-mmm-mmm.”

The Georgia native spent the rest of the afternoon doing work and catching up with one of her friends, who accompanied Ariana and Hudson to KJ’s sporting event.
“I’m on my way to the game now, and I cannot wait to drive,” Ariana said. “I miss driving more than anything else in Atlanta.”
Ariana then filmed a clip of her, Hudson, and their friend walking to the football field — a moment that sparked a mix of emotions for Ariana.
“I’m feeling icky,” Ariana joked as she passed the parking lot. “We went to high school here. Now my brother goes here! We’re not 17?”

The influencer then posted footage of KJ’s game and pointed out that the 14-year-old was rocking the same jersey number as their dad, Kroy Biermann. Ariana’s mom, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak, was also at the big game, alongside Ariana’s younger siblings: 13-year-old brother Kash Biermann and 11-year-old twins Kane and Kaia Biermann.
“Why is she prettier than me?” Ariana said while posing with her little sister, Kaia. “You’re gorgeous.”

Several days after her Atlanta trip, Ariana returned to Instagram to celebrate another special sibling moment: her brother Kash officially became a teenager.
“Happy birthday my kashew,” she captioned a photo of the now-13-year-old holding Ariana in his arms. “I love you so much.”
Ariana reflects on Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s ongoing divorce
Kim shares KJ, Kash, Kane, and Kaia with her estranged husband, Kroy. The former NFL player adopted Ariana and her big sister, Brielle Biermann, in 2013, about 10 years before he and Kim confirmed their separation. The parents have since sold their Georgia home and are now living separately, but have yet to finalize their divorce.
Ariana opened up about her family issues in a July interview with People magazine, admitting that the past two years have been “tough” and “really sad.”
“I think it sucks for anybody experiencing their parents going through a divorce,” she said. “I love my parents’ love. I know people have a lot of opinions about it, but it was really such a pure, honest love. They acted like they fell in love yesterday up until, of course, the end.”
Ariana said she also struggled staying neutral throughout her parents’ split.
“I’m trying to find my way still in the middle of it without disrespecting anybody or making anybody upset,” she explained. “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.”
