Ariana Madix has officially left wing the past behind, including her long and very public relationship with ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.
While she may have first risen to fame on Vanderpump Rules, the 39-year-old has since moved far beyond the world of SUR drama. These days, she’s basking in the spotlight as host of Love Island USA, stepping confidently into her second season on the hit dating show.

Madix and Sandoval got together during Vanderpump Rules season two and stayed together for almost ten years. The two weren’t always rock solid, but people were dumbfounded when it came out in March 2023 that Sandoval had been having an affair with co-star Raquel Leviss for many months.
People Magazine reported that Madix discovered the affair after seeing a sexually explicit video from Leviss on Sandoval’s phone while attending one of his concerts.
