Riley Burruss is looking forward to “more adventures” with her boyfriend. The Next Gen NYC cast member recently declared this on Instagram, when she revealed another big detail about her mystery beau: his January birthday.
Riley celebrated the occasion with a couple of photos that shed more light on the blossoming relationship. One of the pictures showed the pair standing side by side in a kitchen, while another captured them enjoying a meal at a Mexican restaurant.
“Happy birthday,” Riley wrote on January 21. “Here’s to many more adventures.”
Why Riley Burruss hasn’t revealed her boyfriend’s name
Riley confirmed the romance during her July 2025 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, just a few days after she posted a PDA photo with her boyfriend. She told host Andy Cohen she wasn’t prepared to reveal her man’s identity just yet, as she wanted to keep her “love life close to [her] heart.”
Cut to the Thank U, Next Gen panel at BravoCon 2025, where Riley revealed she had met her boyfriend through a family member.
“How did I find [him]? You know, I met him through my sister,” she said, referring to her stepsister, Kaela Tucker.
Riley was also asked if her man would ever appear on camera following the inaugural season of Next Gen NYC.
“I mean, I know a lot of people’s boyfriends love the screen time,” she replied. “Mine actually likes me to be the main character. So, he lets me shine my light… He may make an appearance. You’ll have to tune in. He’s amazing.”

“I actually like this one,” Kandi said during her appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show. “I like him a lot. I love him because he’s smart, and he’s like really pushing her to do better. You know what I mean? He’s talking to her about saving [money]. Now [Riley] is ready to go back to school and get her dual degree and everything. I think that helps when you have a good influence around you, somebody who sees great things for you. And he has his own thing going on. He’s educated. He’s doing big things… I’m so much happier for the future.”
