Ariana Biermann

An aspiring streetwear designer, Ariana was only 7 at the time she and big sis Brielle began appearing with mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now 23, she and co-star beau Hudson McLeroy have left the south for the big city.

What was it like growing up on camera?

It gave me incredible opportunities. Of course, it wasn't always easy — there were moments of vulnerability that came with living so publicly. But those challenges shaped me and made me stronger.

How is this latest adventure going?

My life feels like a dream come true, living in New York with Hudson and my amazing dogs, building our clothing line, and stepping into the best version of myself. I'm constantly growing.

Did your mother offer any pre-filming words of wisdom?

Never let anyone change my heart, but also to watch my back because I'm easily trusting and will go to all lengths for people.

Brooks Marks

Brooks was a college student when his jewelry designer mom, Meredith Marks, debuted on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in 2020. At 25, he's now growing his own namesake clothing line.
