Days of Our Lives spoilers tease that Arianna Horton is on the verge of uncovering Sophia Choi’s shocking secret. After bonding with Holly Jonas during a kidnapping crisis, Ari may realize “Tesoro” is Sophia’s baby with Tate Black—but keeping the secret could serve her interests in love and loyalty.

Ari and Holly Bond During a Dangerous Ordeal

In the week of July 14-18, Ari and Holly Jonas will be thrust into chaos when they’re kidnapped together. During their time in captivity, the two girls will share stories, fears, and secrets. Holly will open up about her love for Tate Black, confessing she briefly liked Doug Williams III but still loves Tate deeply.

This experience brings Holly and Ari closer, and suddenly, Ari starts rooting for Holly and Tate’s romance. That’s unexpected—especially since Ari has her own crush on Doug. But Holly’s confessions might just change Ari’s heart and strategy.

Meanwhile, Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Sophia is hiding a massive secret. She gave birth to Tate’s baby and dropped him at a Safe Haven location. That baby, now called “Tesoro,” is being raised by Javi Hernandez and Leo Stark—right inside the Hernandez home.

Ari, who lives there, has already met the child. But soon, she may connect the dots and realize exactly whose baby he is. Whether Sophia slips up or Ari overhears something, she’s about to learn the truth.

Why Ari Might Keep Sophia’s Secret

This truth bomb could explode Salem, but Ari might choose silence over exposure. Why? First, she wants Holly and Tate to stay together. If Sophia’s secret comes out, the baby drama could tear them apart again. That breakup would open the door for Holly to reunite with Doug—Ari’s crush. So keeping the truth buried could serve her own love interests.

Second, Ari has grown attached to the sweet dynamic between Javi, Leo, and little Tesoro. She knows they may try to adopt him, and she won’t want to ruin the family they’ve started forming. With so much on the line, Ari’s silence could come from a mix of guilt, fear, and selfish motives. That kind of internal conflict is classic DOOL gold!

Still, secrets never stay buried in Salem. Days of Our Lives spoilers tease that Sophia will soon fake an adoption to keep Tate in the dark. But Ari might gain access to shocking updates about the real baby—and those revelations could push her to spill the truth.

Will she stay loyal to her new friendship with Holly? Will guilt push her to reveal Sophia’s secret? Or will her feelings for Doug cloud her judgment? Ari is caught in the middle of a powder keg, and sooner or later, it’s bound to blow.

With the “Tesoro” truth hanging over her head, Arianna Horton becomes the most dangerous character in this storyline. Stay tuned to see what she does next! For more Days of Our Lives spoilers, stick with Soap Opera Daily.
