When a big life milestone like a wedding should be all about celebration and joy, divorce drama has a way of casting a shadow. Ariana Biermann just revealed how deeply the split between her adoptive dad Kroy and mom Kim Zolciak is affecting her family as her sister Brielle prepares to walk down the aisle later this year. In an exclusive interview, the 24-year-old Next Gen NYC cast member got vulnerable about the pain of watching a marriage of eleven years crumble and the ripple effects it’s having on everyone, especially the four younger children caught in the middle of a custody battle.
What makes Ariana’s situation particularly heartbreaking is that she genuinely loves her adoptive father and recognizes his positive impact on her life. But she’s also fiercely protective of her mom and younger siblings, which means she can’t stay neutral in this conflict. She’s refused to entertain Kroy’s accusations against Kim, and she hasn’t spoken to him in months because the accusations feel like a betrayal of her mother. It’s a painful reminder of how divorce forces adult children into impossible positions where loyalty to one parent feels like disloyalty to the other.
Despite carrying this emotional weight, Ariana is channeling her energy into celebrating her sister’s happiness and supporting her family through the chaos. She’s proud to be Brielle’s maid of honor and is helping create moments of joy during a difficult season. So here’s what we’re wondering: when your family is falling apart, how do you stay present for the people you love? What would you do in Ariana’s situation?
