Next Gen NYC’s Ariana Biermann has much to celebrate as she embarks on a new chapter of her life in New York City.
Following her breakup from Hudson McLeroy, the successful content creator has already moved into a stunning NYC apartment, and more recently, she celebrated her 24th birthday with a picnic surrounded by loved ones. On her Instagram Stories, the daughter of The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak blew out the bright-pink candles of a pale pink birthday cake, part of an outdoor feast.
Ariana captioned one of the photos, “Thank you for all the birthday wishes … and to all the amazing people who celebrated with me, I love y’all!!! So blessed to see another year, here’s to 24!!!”
It was a more intimate setting compared to the big birthday blowout she shared with big sister Brielle Biermann and Next Gen’s Gia Giudice.
Details on Ariana Biermann’s new apartment after her split from Hudson
Ariana’s Oct. 17 birthday comes amid what she called the “next chapter” of her life, which recently had her moving out of her and Hudson’s once-shared apartment into a new home as the “sole person on the lease.”
There, Brielle helped Ariana assemble a wooden cabinet, as seen in one of her Instagram Stories. “How long do you think this is going to take us?” she wondered in the photo later reposted by Ariana.
Follow-up posts, including Ariana in a black tube top and leggings, were a glimpse into the new home, filled with balloons and flowers to sweeten her many life events.
Prior to the recent updates, Ariana said that while she was “excited” to move into the stunning 22-story apartment with a grand view of the Manhattan skyline, it’s simultaneously “a bittersweet thing.”

What to know about Ariana Biermann and Hudson McLeroy’s breakup
Ariana broke the news of her and Hudson’s split in an Oct. 14 Instagram Story, stating, “Hudson and I have decided to go our separate ways. While these things are never easy, we both know it’s what’s best for us right now. We are so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us over the years. Sometimes life takes you in different directions, and that’s OK. Love you all.”
Just one day later, Hudson shared his own thoughts about the breakup.
Said the ex, “I feel like everyone deserves to hear both sides of our story. I still and always will love Ariana. She’s been there for me at times when I couldn’t be there for myself. I still have a lot of things I need to heal from and deal with on my own to become the person I truly want to be. I appreciate all of the love and support everyone is showing us through this difficult time.”
A timeline of Ariana Biermann and Hudson McLeroy’s relationship
The Georgia-based couple began their courtship in junior high, going public with their relationship in 2018. Things were off and on for a while until 2024, when they moved together to New York City with plans to start a clothing line.
Their business-related ups and downs were a focus of Next Gen NYC, as was their search for the perfect apartment. After spending some time living out of hotel rooms, Ariana and the son of Zaxby’s founder, Zach McLeroy, settled on a $10k-a-month place in SoHo.
They moved into another home — the one from which Ariana just moved — after the lease on the SoHo apartment expired.
