Ariana Madix Teases Her Upcoming Performance At Love Island USA After Flying To Fiji: “I’M GATHERED Around The Fire Pit!”
Ariana Madix has confirmed that she will appear in an episode of the popular Peacock reality series Love Island USA on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old reality star teased her appearance on the series earlier this month with a TikTok video of her lip-synching the show’s tagline, “A hot new bombshell is coming into the villa this week.”
Now Madix has taken to Instagram with a new photo of her sitting around the iconic fire pit on set, confirming she’ll be appearing in an episode this week, with a teaser video posted to Peacock’s Instagram confirming the episode will air on Tuesday.
‘Can’t believe I’m getting into the @loveislandusa villa this week! like.. I’m GATHERED around the fire pit! You can watch the fun on @Peacock,” she said.
The new appearance also comes on the heels of the announcement that she will join the new season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, paired with Derek Hough.

Madix wore a gorgeous white cut-out dress with a pearl necklace and silver heels in the new snap, sitting behind a neon sign that read, “It was always you.”
There is no indication yet what Madix will actually do in the reality dating series – where young singles compete for love in a majestic villa – but she also shared a promo of the performance on her Instagram story.
The video showed Madix in the same white dress lying on a recliner, when her phone vibrates and she utters the show’s other iconic catchphrase, “I got a text!”
“You could say there’s a hot new bomb coming into the villa. Me! Don’t miss me, come into the villa tomorrow in an all new episode of Love Island USA, only on Peacock.”
She teased in the original TikTok video caption, “Islanders: ready to shake things up? Don’t worry, I don’t bite.’
She confirmed she would take part in the show on Good Morning America last week, in a short clip with professional dancer and current judge Derek Hough.
“This season on Dancing With the Stars, we’re going crazy — crazy about Madix,” Hough said in the clip.
Then Ariana playfully jumped into the frame and added, “I’ll be joining the cast of Dancing With the Stars this season!”

The announcement makes Ariana the first contestant confirmed for the upcoming DWTS season.
Madix made headlines when her longtime boyfriend and Vanderpump Rules co-star, Tom Sandoval, was caught cheating with her former best friend Raquel Leviss.
They had been dating since 2013, when Madix joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules as a full-time cast member.
The exes got into a heated argument during the Vanderpump Rules reunion special, where Leviss opened up and confirmed that they’d been together multiple times over the past season.
