"[I want to] feel that feeling that so many women talk about when they hit 40, or in their late 30s, 40s — that they feel like [they're] so themselves and so comfortable with themselves," she said.

"I'm looking forward to feeling that," Ariana continued. "I don't know that I've felt that yet, so I'm manifesting that now for myself."

Ariana also told the publication that she's really looking forward to spending time with her boyfriend, Daniel Wai, who she has almost been dating for two years. But just don't expect to hear wedding bells between them in 2025, as she "doesn't know" if they will get engaged.

"I don't think I've ever met someone who feels the way about me that Daniel feels," she said. "He thinks I am the most beautiful person in the world, the funniest person in the world, [and] the smartest."

Ariana continued, noting that she feels amazing when she is spending her time with Daniel, who currently lives in New York City. "He's constantly telling me how smart I am and how much he believes in me, and I just feel like having that kind of partner makes everything feel so easy," she said. "I never feel stressed. I never feel worried and he's always reassuring me and it feels really nice."

How will Ariana Madix spend the 2024 holiday season?

Ariana is not slowing down for the holiday season.

In an interview with Access Hollywood on Dec. 4, she revealed that she will be traveling quite a bit

"So for Christmas itself, I might want to go to New York for Christmas," she said. "And then I kind of wanna get out of town. I wanna travel for New Years. I've never done New Years abroad and I think it would be so cool to ring in the new year in a completely different time zone."
