For 'Love Island USA' superfan Ariana Madix, hosting the show 'does not feel like work'
Ariana Madix just celebrated her 39th birthday, and if her last year was any indicator, this one should be full of surprises
There was a scene in Season 10 of Bravo's “Vanderpump Rules" — before the real-life cheating fiasco dubbed Scandoval was revealed — where Ariana Madix and her then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval acknowledged they weren't spending enough quality time together. Sandoval wanted to party like a rock star while Madix wanted him to stay in with her, watching her favorite TV show, “Love Island USA," with friends.
“I don't have time to watch 50 (expletive) episodes of ‘Love Island.’ No, I don't.” he said.
“That's literally all we talk about so..." Madix responded, in a get-on-board or you're-out-of-luck kind of way.
Cut to about a year and a half later and Madix and Sandoval are no longer together. The Scandoval of it all is that Sandoval had been cheating on Madix for more than six months with a “Vanderpump” co-star. Madix is now the host of “Love Island USA" on Peacock, taking over for previous host Sarah Hyland.
