Next Gen NYC star Ariana Biermann wholeheartedly approves of her mom Kim Zolciak’s new boyfriend, Kyle Mowitz.
“I really like him,” Ariana, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending BravoCon 2025 on Saturday, November 15, with Kim, 47. “He’s a good man.”
Kim, who confirmed her romance with Kyle last month, concurred that her new beau is indeed “a good man.”
This is Real Housewives of Atlanta alum’s first relationship since she and estranged husband
“I never saw myself with anybody else. It was about two years after I filed that I met Kyle, and he went through a very similar situation as me,” Kim told
Kim and Kroy, 40, each filed for divorce in May 2023 after 12 years of marriage, which quickly spurned a bitter custody dispute over children KJ, 14, Kash, 13, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 11. (Kroy had previously adopted Ariana and 28-year-old Brielle, Kim’s daughters from previous relationships.)
“[I] don’t know if it’ll ever be over. I wish it would be over tomorrow,” Kim added to Us of her dynamic with Kroy. “It’s just difficult. I’ve never not been able to coparent with my ex and things like that. So, this is just [what] I want. I want to be able to coparent and do what’s best for our children.”
She added, “It’s just the divide [that] is what’s so disturbing to me, like, we’ve had a good life. We were together for a long time. We have four beautiful kids. Can we just figure it out?”
Ariana, for her part, revealed that she prays “every night” for her parents to be able to work through their differences for her siblings’ sake.
“I mean, he’s my dad,” Ariana told
Ariana’s younger siblings are also attempting to move forward.
“They’re awesome. KJ and Kash are amazing in football, like, they’re superstars. They say they’re freaks of nature,” Kim told Us
of her eldest sons. “The twins are good. Kaia is a little rowdy thing. Kaia has given us a run for my money here because my mom’s like, ‘You’re getting payback now, it’s your turn.’ She’s the sweetest girl, but does not like authority — like her mother.”
According to Kim, she also tends to “go overboard a little bit now” with spoiling her kids due to the divorce.
“[I’m] just, like, ‘You want to eat there, let’s do that,’ or, ‘Let’s go to Sky Zone, or let’s do this,’ because I’m trying to overcompensate for the lack on the other side,” she claimed. “Am I ever going to get divorced? I can’t wait for that day.I never thought I would say that. I just want to get divorced and move forward.”
The Real Housewives universe is reeling as shocking claims surface from Jamal Bryant, who reportedly says the ongoing custody battle is rooted in the children’s own devastating testimony. According to insiders, the children allegedly described neglect so severe that they are begging to leave Gizelle’s care, painting a grim picture behind the Bravo cameras.
Sources say Bryant presented the children’s testimony in court, detailing incidents of emotional neglect, lack of supervision, and an unstable home environment. “The kids’ words were heartbreaking,” an insider revealed. “They made it clear they don’t feel safe and want to be somewhere they are cared for consistently.”
Friends close to the family say the testimony has intensified the custody fight, with Bryant’s legal team citing the children’s statements as a primary reason to seek full custody. “This isn’t just legal maneuvering — it’s about protecting vulnerable children,” a source explained. “Their own voices are driving the case.”
Social media erupted as fans debated the allegations, with hashtags like #CustodyControversy, #ChildrenSpeakOut, and #BravoFamilyDrama trending. Viewers expressed both sympathy for the children and anger toward any alleged neglect.
An insider commented: “This custody war is not just drama for Bravo — it’s very real, very painful, and extremely serious. The children’s testimony has changed everything, making this one of the most emotionally charged battles in reality TV history.”
With devastating testimony, allegations of neglect, and a high-stakes legal battle, the Jamal Bryant vs. Gizelle saga has turned into one of Bravo’s most heart-wrenching and controversial storylines yet, leaving fans anxious for justice and resolution.
