This summer, Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen are joining forces for a highly anticipated event. They have been announced as the co-hosts for the Season 7 reunion of Love Island USA. Ariana, who previously hosted this season, is thrilled about partnering with the popular Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen presenter.

After the announcement, Ariana shared her excitement on her Instagram Story, expressing her eagerness to work with the seasoned Bravo reunion host. Displaying a screenshot, she commented, “Daddy alert,” adding, “[Andy] I’m so excited.”

During the reunion, Ariana and Andy will converse with the Season 7 winners, as well as the other notable couples and unexpected entrants that have kept fans intrigued. They will discuss all the notable moments that happened in the villa, as reported by Deadline.

Ariana Madix shares the hosting advice that Andy Cohen gave her

Prior to hosting the Love Island USA Season 6 reunion in 2024, Ariana revealed that Andy had given her some advice ahead of the filming. “He just said, ‘Don’t be afraid to go out there and to be you and put your own stamp on it,’” she told Page Six in September 2024. “Obviously, he’s done so many reunions. He’s literally the king of it! So it was really amazing to be able to get some advice from him before doing it.”

But she admitted that hosting was harder than she expected. “As host, there is leeway for you to feel how you feel and have a bit of your own opinion, but at the same time, you do have to be as partial as you can,” she noted.

In an interview with TODAY earlier this month, Ariana admitted that she was excited to return to the United States after filming Love Island USA Season 7 in Fiji. “I will be going back to Los Angeles, and I have a long list of things that I need to get done, and I will be back in the sandwich shop in West Hollywood,” she said. “Please come see us — Something About Her — and have a sandwich. I’ll be there for some time.”

Ariana spoke to Variety in June about Something About Her, which she co-owns with Katie Maloney. “People are not kidding when they say that opening a restaurant is hard,” she admitted. “And it comes with a whole set of things that make it hard. I think, for us, the things that are not hard are: we love our staff, Katie and I, and we love working together. We really share the same vision.”
