Next Gen NYC: Hudson and Ariana share life updates after the show 

Hudson McLeroy and Ariana Biermann continue documenting their journey in New York City months after Next Gen NYC wrapped its first season. The reality show followed Bravo celebs' children as they transitioned into adulthood in Manhattan. Hudson, a Georgia native, and Ariana, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak-Biermann, played significant roles throughout the series. Their story centered around their high school romance, surviving the transition to city life, and their common professional objectives.

The couple just moved into their second NYC flat after signing a two-year lease, indicating their plan to stay in the city for the long term. Hudson has been highly active on social media, penning thoughtful posts about his current thoughts and ambitions. His newest updates reflect emotional and professional development as he and Ariana seek to establish their fashion company.

This season of Next Gen NYC's finale flash-forward sequence previewed many of these developments, showing the pair hitting relationship milestones and building their business together. Their updates suggest the predictions were accurate, with both seeming settled in their new environment while maintaining strong family connections.

What life updates did Hudson and Ariana share about their life beyond Next Gen NYC?

Hudson's recent Instagram activity offers insight into his current perspective on living in New York. His July 30 post featured a contemplative caption:

"If God already decided, why are you still worrying?"

The photo showed him against a white wall, displaying his signature silver chains and tattoos. Three days earlier, he shared another reflective moment. Standing on an empty Manhattan street, he wrote:

"You can't spread your wings in a birdcage."

The posts suggest he views his move to NYC as necessary for personal growth.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann supports her daughter's boyfriend by engaging with his social media posts. Her praise-hand emoji comment on his July 30 update demonstrates ongoing family approval of the relationship.

Ariana documented their housing change through Instagram in late June. She filmed herself and Hudson in their old bathroom, announcing:

"We're moving today!"

Hudson chimed in with "New place!" as they prepared for the transition.

The move represented their second NYC residence since joining the show. Ariana said that their contract had expired, necessitating the hunt for new housing. Their choice to secure a two-year lease indicates that they want to stay in the city when the program concludes production.

This dwelling renovation corresponds to the flash-forward montage from the season finale, which depicted them completing numerous milestones together.

Despite recent solo Instagram posts, Hudson regularly shares content featuring Ariana. His July 10 reel captured daily moments, from dog walks to Times Square visits. He captioned it:

"I like the movie we make together."

Ariana's response showed mutual affection when she said, "I love our life together," followed by "I love you." These exchanges demonstrate their relationship remains strong despite city pressures.

In June, Hudson posted beach photos with a nostalgic caption:

"I always knew we'd be here together… I used to dream of days like these when we first met."

The message referenced their high school origins and current achievements.

Their fashion brand development continues progressing, though specific launch details remain private. The business venture was highlighted throughout the season as a shared goal.

What’s next for the duo?

Hudson and Ariana's post-Next Gen NYC updates indicate successful adaptation to New York life. Their housing stability, relationship strength, and business progress suggest the Next Gen NYC experience provided a solid foundation for their future plans. Family support remains constant, with Kim Zolciak-Biermann maintaining active involvement in their journey through social media engagement.
