Riley Burruss and Ariana Biermann have made it clear that they won’t let the ongoing drama between their moms, Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss, affect their friendship in New York City. In a recent episode of Next Gen NYC, the two young women addressed the longstanding feud between their mothers, emphasizing that they value their friendship above all else.
Ariana, 23, and Riley, 22, reminisced about the times they spent together as children, despite the fallout between Kim and Kandi. While they acknowledged that their moms no longer have a relationship, they both expressed gratitude that their parents respect their friendship and are happy to see them bond.
As the cameras rolled during the first season of Next Gen NYC, viewers got a glimpse into the lives of Ariana and Riley as they navigated their new surroundings in New York City alongside friends like Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks, and Ava Dash. Despite the drama between their mothers, the two young women remained focused on building their own futures and relationships.
In a recent episode, Ariana had the chance to meet up with Riley and Kandi, while Riley later had dinner with Ariana and Kim. Despite the tension between Kim and Kandi, Ariana remained optimistic about the possibility of reuniting their mothers, jokingly referring to their plan as a “parent trap” scenario.
The feud between Kim and Kandi dates back to their time on Real Housewives of Atlanta, with Kandi claiming that she deserved a share of the revenue from Kim’s song “Tardy for the Party.” The legal battle between the two women was a focal point of the show, ultimately leading to a dismissal of the lawsuit.
While Kim and Kandi show no signs of reconciling their friendship, Ariana and Riley remain hopeful that they can bring their mothers back together. Their plan to surprise Kim and Kandi with a reunion is a testament to the strong bond between the two young women and their determination to see their moms mend fences.
Next Gen NYC airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, with old episodes available for streaming on Peacock. As Ariana and Riley continue to navigate their lives in the spotlight, their friendship serves as a reminder of the importance of loyalty and support, even in the midst of family drama.
