Ariana Biermann is officially single again. The “Next Gen NYC” star announced that she and Hudson McLeroy have broken up, just months after revealing she gave him a marriage ultimatum.

‘Next Gen NYC’ Star Ariana Biermann Confirms Breakup

The couple, who rekindled their high school romance and made their relationship TV-official during season one of “Next Gen NYC,” have decided to part ways. On October 14, Ariana, 23, shared a statement to her Instagram Story confirming the split.

“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,” she wrote. “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 okay … Love you all.”

The breakup comes shortly after Ariana — the daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kim Zolciak — admitted she had given Hudson an ultimatum. “This might sound crazy, and I get it, but I have a five-year rule,” she told Bravo’s The Daily Dish in August. “If he doesn’t propose in five years, which is in a little less than two years, it’s a no.”

She added that Hudson frequently brought up marriage. “Stop talking about it and do it or don’t do it,” she quipped. “Everyone’s getting engaged! Really, everybody?”

It seems that “five-year rule” may have run its course — and Ariana is now entering her next chapter solo.

“Next Gen NYC” will return to Bravo in 2026.
