Former Love Island USA host Arielle Vandenberg raised concerns among her fans Wednesday when she shared an emotional text post on Instagram.
Over close-ups of what looked like linen sheets, Arielle admitted, “I’ve been going through one of the hardest times of my life.”
He also indicated that he had been living in Nashville recently and described moving from ‘Airbnb to Airbnb’ and from one friend to another, suggesting that he may not currently have a permanent place of residence.
Last year, it was announced that former Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, 32, would take over as host of the US version of Love Island from Vandenberg, 36, after CBS failed to pick up the show for a fourth run. season.
The show moved forward on the Peacock streaming platform, which was better suited to its raunchy content, with its new host.

Bad days: In addition to close-ups of what looked like linen sheets, Arielle admitted, “I’ve been going through one of the hardest times of my life.”
After opening up about her “difficult times”, Arielle said that she was keeping her struggles out of the spotlight.
“You may not see it here on Instagram, but I’m dealing with it behind the scenes,” she continued. “I’ve been looking for meaning in all the mess.”
Later, he wrote that he had chosen to stay in Nashville “by intuition.”
‘My instinct told me “stay, learn, be”. Probably one of the most interesting, flying through the seat of my pants, moments of my life,’ he continued. But very important.
On another slide, he described his current nomadic ways.
“I was jumping from Airbnb to Airbnb, from friends to friends. My heart opened up in such a different way,” she admitted. “I would feel scary and vulnerable some days, I would just wake up and cry in confusion. “Because I am here?” “What am I doing?”‘
Some fans wondered in the comments if Arielle’s nomadic turn meant she was no longer together with her fiancé Matt Cutshall, whom she got engaged to in 2019.
‘Did you and Matt break up?! What’s happening?!’ wrote a concerned fan.
Her partner had appeared on her Instagram account as recently as four days earlier, when he appeared in a comedic video she posted.
Arielle continued, ‘There has never been a day that God hasn’t shown up. I keep seeing the love from him and the grace from him in all these incredible moments. Big or small. I keep hearing from Him “It’s not for nothing.” He’s telling me there’s a bigger picture. Be patient. I’m in the middle of the road.

Twilight star Taylor Lautner added: “We love you.”

Actress and singer Daniella Monet wrote: ‘I greatly admire your strength, love and depth. Feel so lucky to call you friend. Thanks for being there for me when you were so low. I can’t wait to hug you, celebrate your victories, and continue to hang on together through this wild roller coaster of life we’re on.
‘This is the full expression of life in physical form, a test, a way for us to keep showing up so we can be fully drenched in gratitude. Here whenever you want,’ he said.

Making a change: She vowed to ‘surrender and trust’ in God. The post received sympathy from Aaron Paul, Hilary Swank, and Oliva Culpo, among others.
She’s Out: Her posts come months after she was replaced on Love Island USA. After CBS was unable to renew the show and it moved to Peacock, Sarah Hyland took her place as host.
In more recent years, she has rebranded herself as a regular talk show host and guest.
Her most high-profile gig to date was as the host and narrator of the US version of the popular reality series Love Island, on which she appeared periodically to present twists to the contestants.
However, her time on the show ended abruptly after she was replaced by Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland when the show switched to Peacock, which was reportedly better suited to its risqué content.
Although the reason for the change was announced, the producers may have simply been looking for a higher-profile actress to host the series.
