Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> has spoken out about her future as the host of Love Island USA<\/em><\/a> after exit concerns.<\/p>\n

When Ariana, 41, shared highlights from her experience filming the season 8 finale via TikTok on Monday, July 13, a social media user wondered in the comments section if this was her “last season hosting.”<\/p>\n

Ariana swiftly shut down the speculation, replying, “Why would it be.”<\/p>\n

The reality star joined the hit Peacock dating series during season 6 after exiting Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules<\/em>, bringing a surge of new viewers<\/a> to the show. She recently earned her first Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many factors that have gone into the success of the show and the show really taking off when I became host, so I\u2019d love to think that I\u2019m kind of part of the fabric of that,\u201d she told The Hollywood Reporter in June. \u201cAnd when you look at all the things, it\u2019s really a perfect storm of factors that have really helped the show take off. And of course, if I can be one of the lightning bolts in that storm, that\u2019s amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana weighed in on Love Island USA<\/em><\/a>‘s record-breaking success<\/a>, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s an absolute star maker. I\u2019m so happy and excited that Love Island USA is starting to get its flowers because the absolute feat that it is to create and make the show and put the show out and have it be as good and incredible as it is, it\u2019s really insane. And I don\u2019t think any other show is doing what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before returning to the villa in Fiji, Ariana broke down how she planned to prepare.<\/p>\n

“I do a lot of work in the gym. And I feel as though I do that throughout the year as well,” she noted. “It\u2019s not something I only do for this, but I definitely ramp it up just because I want to feel confident. I want to feel sexy. I want to feel like I have an authority when I walk into the villa.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “I also do a little bit of work on confidence in general to go in there because I think something that\u2019s really important as a host is not just being able to empathize with the Islanders, but also being able to command the room. Because when I go in there, there\u2019s no producers there. It\u2019s just me; I\u2019m in charge. So I need to come in having that confidence for sure.”<\/p>\n

Ariana hinted that she didn’t have any plans<\/a> to leave her job as the host.<\/p>\n

“It did just get announced that Love Island Games is renewed for season three and I will be returning as host for Love Island Games season three,” she teased about the spinoff, which is returning in 2027. “So there\u2019s at least one more that\u2019s on its way, so that\u2019s exciting. I truly feel very fulfilled doing this job. I feel creatively fulfilled. It also scratches an itch for me in terms of the performance side. It really feels like I\u2019m going out on stage every time. I love connecting with the Islanders every season, and so I definitely could see myself doing it for quite some time.”<\/p>\n
