Ariana Madix is the new “bombshell” who just moved into the island. This is her first time on Love Island USA.
In a clip from the Tuesday, July 25 episode of Vanderpump Rules, the 38-year-old star goes to the house to play “Mr. and Mrs.” with this season’s couples. The islanders are excited to see Ariana, who is wearing a short green dress with a bra top and gold heels.
“She’s just an icon,” says contestant Hannah Wright in an interview. “If you look up “bad bitch” in the dictionary, you’ll see a picture of Ariana.”
After a lot of trouble with her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval on Pump Rules season 10, Ariana has been on a lot of reality TV shows. The end of the milestone season focused on the effects of the breakup of the former pair, which became known as “Scandoval” when it was revealed in March that Tom, 40, had cheated on Ariana with their co-star Raquel Leviss.
As shooting for season 11 began, director Alex Baskin wondered if the bitter ex-lovers would be able to stay away from each other during production. Baskin said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, “We always get pushback when different parties don’t want to shoot with each other because of bad feelings.” “This is, of course, more extreme. But Ariana and Tom Sandoval still live together, I should point out.”
In the picture, Ariana looks beautiful in a white dress with cutouts and jewels. The Bravo star went for natural glam and beachy waves, just like the islanders.
To finish off her look, she wore a pair of silver high shoes.
She wore the same outfit in a teaser for the episode that was posted on Instagram by the show’s official account. “I got a text! “I guess you could say I’m the new hot bombshell in the villa,” Ariana says in the clip. “Don’t forget to watch Love Island USA tomorrow for a brand-new episode with me in the villa.”
On the show’s Tuesday Instagram Story, Ariana was also rocking her green dress. “I’m so happy. She tells Love Island’s social advocate, Maura Higgins, “I’m nervous, too,” and adds that Love Island is her “favourite show.”
