When asked how she met Wai, Madix shared the story — which happened to take place just a week after her split from Sandoval, 49. “I met him at a wedding about 10 days after all of this,” Madix said. “And in no way shape or form did I go into that thinking anything, and I’ve just been taking things very, very, slow and really enjoying myself.”
Wai’s personality is his best feature, according to Madix, who said that “it’s just really lovely to interact with someone who is so nice and kind and caring.”
