When Ariana Madix traded the drama of West Hollywood for the whirlwind romance of Love Island USA, she didn’t just step into the villa—she owned it. As the host of Season 6, which became Peacock’s most-watched original reality competition ever, Madix brought her signature charm, quick wit, and Bravo-honed instincts to the sun-soaked chaos of Fiji.
Now, with Love Island: Beyond the Villa officially greenlit and set to debut this summer and season 7 of Love Island USA underway, fans will get an inside scoop in this interview with Awards Buzz’s Sari Cohen.
Check it out!
Ariana opens up about her journey from superfan to villa matriarch, dishes on the denim overalls intervention we all remember, and teases what’s next for the franchise (and her place in it). Whether you’re here for the recouplings, the Casa Amor chaos, or the catchphrases, Ariana proves she’s not just watching the drama—she’s shaping it.
Love Island USA streams new episodes exclusively on Peacock six days a week — except Wednesday — at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
