Ariana Madix Has a New Love of Her Life and He is Such a Cow

Ariana Madix is well-known for her love of horses. If you follow her on Instagram, you’re highly aware that she is an award-winning equestrian who still has two horses of her own back in Florida on her mom’s ranch.

So we shouldn’t be surprised that she has a love of cows too. Over the weekend, she posted a photo of Instagram-famous bovine Buckley the Highland Cow along with the caption “Have you ever in your life seen anything as adorable as @buckleythehighlandcow?! I want to cuddle him all of the days [three heart-eyes emojis].”

After we dove into the post’s comments, we discovered that Ariana is more than just an admirer—she actually has a direct connection to the famous fluffy cow! “Click on the page to read his story,” she told a commenter. “His human mom is my best friend’s aunt. :)”

Although there isn’t a ton of information on Buckley’s page, it does reveal that he came to live on his ranch after being orphaned at just five weeks old. He also has a best friend baby goat named Ralphy, and the two are absolutely adorable together.

After Ariana shared the pic and sweet words, Buckley responded in kind, “Awe you are the best.” (But not before her Vanderpump Rules castmate Jax Taylor piped in and asked “Can I name him Willy?”)

Watch your back Tom Sandoval—it looks like Ariana has found a new true love!
