There is no doubt that Ariana Madix is killing it on all fronts. The Vanderpump Rules star has performed on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago. She was so successful that her run was extended. Then she bopped over to her favorite show, Love Island USA, and took on hosting duties. Plus, she and Katie Maloney, her Pump Rules co-star, opened a little sandwich shop. It seems like Ariana has the golden touch. So, does that mean that she will be back for another season of VPR?

Ariana Madix calls all these opportunities “a dream come true”

Well, Ariana recently discussed her experience as a first-time host on Love Island USA. When asked what the positive feedback about the season and fan response was like, Ariana told The Hollywood Reporter, “It was incredible. Love Island, all of the iterations on all of the different countries – it’s been my favorite show for a really long time,” she explained. “So to be able to be a part of it on that level was amazing, but I don’t feel like I can really take credit because the cast was so absolutely incredible.” Ariana added, “They just had the personality, they had the connections with each other, and they really just gave themselves, and I feel like it was all them.”

Afterward, Ariana was asked if, with her busy schedule, she would still be on next season of Pump Rules. “I don’t know,” she replied with a laugh. But Ariana was able to discuss all the opportunities that have come her way. “It’s been a dream come true,” Ariana said. She explained that being in this business for so long, you wonder if your hopes will be realized.

Well, one person who is a big fan is Bravo’s national treasure, Andy Cohen. He previously told Ariana, “I am so proud of you. [I’m] watching you kill it all over the place.” And one person has already predicted that Ariana will dump VPR. That would be SUR manager Peter Madrigal, who has also departed the series.

While I would love to see Ariana return, I am wondering if her non-committal response is the beginning of the end of her time on Pump Rules.

Vanderpump Rules and Love Island USA Season 6 are streaming on Peacock.
