Ariana Biermann Backs Mother Amidst Bitter Custody Battle

Ariana Biermann, who features in the Bravo series Next Gen NYC, revealed in a June 2026 interview that her communication with Kroy Biermann has effectively ceased. She noted that interactions with the former NFL player are now strictly limited to coordinating visits with her younger siblings. The 24-year-old described the ongoing legal conflict as an exhausting process, affirming that her mother will not back down regardless of the duration of the court proceedings.

This public support follows a tumultuous period for the family, marked by Zolciak losing primary physical custody of their four minor children in May 2026 and subsequent allegations of child abuse directed at Kroy. While fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta have expressed concerns regarding the impact of the high-profile split on the children, Ariana maintains a close bond with her mother, whom she identifies as her best friend. Beyond the family turmoil, the reality star is navigating her own transition following a 2025 breakup with costar Hudson McLeroy, a period she describes as a vital phase of personal growth and self-discovery.
