A source exclusively tells We that Ariana Madix is feeling "relieved" as she begins the next chapter in her life. She recently closed on a new home and is in the process of moving her belongings in. The source reveals that Ariana is excited to have a fresh start in a new space, away from her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.

A source confirmed on Sunday, March 24, that Madix, 38, recently purchased a $1.6 million house in Los Angeles. Madix is looking forward to decorating and designing the interior of her new home to make it her own. The insider also confirmed that the Vanderpump Rules star is the sole owner of the house.

According to the source, Madix sees this new home as the beginning of a fresh chapter in her life. She is excited to move forward and leave behind any negativity that may have been affecting her. Madix is grateful to have her freedom back and considers this experience a valuable lesson.

Madix and her ex-boyfriend Sandoval bought a home together in Valley Village back in 2019. Unfortunately, their nine-year relationship came to an end in March 2023 due to Sandoval cheating with Madix's friend and VPR co-star, Raquel. Despite the breakup, Madix and Sandoval continued to live together until recently. (During her time on Dancing With the Stars, Madix stayed in a rental and is currently in New York City for her role in Chicago on Broadway.)

According to a source, "Ariana and Tom still co-own the Valley home, and Tom has offered to buy her out. However, Ariana prefers to sell the home completely, but they have not reached an agreement yet."

Madix took legal action against Sandoval in January to help facilitate the sale of their shared home. According to court documents obtained by Us, there was tension between the co-owners, Madix and Sandoval, causing a negative impact on the ownership. Madix's lawsuit requested the house to be sold and the earnings to be divided, a process known as "partitioned by sale."

In the filing, Madix sought a fair distribution of the sale proceeds, including the payment of debts secured by the property and partition costs. However, she made it clear that she did not want a "division in kind," which would allow only one party to sell their share. Madix argued that this option was not legally feasible given the circumstances of the case.

In February, Sandoval responded to Madix's claims by stating that she did not provide enough information to support her case. He also mentioned that her lawsuit was not filed in a reasonable and good faith manner. Sandoval alleged that Madix did not try to minimize the damages she experienced. Additionally, he asked for an explanation and compensation for the renovations he made to improve the value of their home.
