Ariana Madix, a prominent TV personality at 39, is brimming with excitement as Vanderpump Rules enters a new phase. She expressed her eagerness for fans to discover the series' destiny during TheWrap Power Women Summit held at The Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills on December 3. Madix revealed that she feels "great" now that the cast reboot has been confirmed.

Fanbase's Passion and the Impact of Confirmation

After Bravo announced on November 26 that Vanderpump Rules would return for a 12th season with a fresh cast joining SUR and TomTom owner Lisa Vanderpump, fans were left questioning its future. Months passed without a formal announcement, yet audiences grew increasingly curious. Madix shared, "I'm so glad that people finally know what's going on because every other day, there was a new theory." She added, "It's funny, though, because once the news is actually out, there are new theories about the news itself. But I'm glad that people and the public now know what's going on."

Love Island USA Host and Broadway Encore

This past summer, Ariana Madix was named the new Love Island USA host and will continue in this role for the upcoming season. She previously told PEOPLE that while hosting the previous season, she was also preparing for her return to Broadway. In the spring, she starred on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Then in May, PEOPLE exclusively reported that she would return to the Ambassador Theatre in New York City for another month of performances in August.During her Broadway debut with her mom in the audience in December, it was the highlight of her year. She shed a tear when she saw her mom in the crowd. She explained, "It was the best." Since wrapping her August performances, she has spoken about fulfilling a "lifelong dream." At TheWrap's Power Women Summit, she joined the "Art of Adaptation: Books, Broadway, Blockbusters & Beyond" panel to discuss her Broadway experience further. She initially focused on doing it right and hitting every note, but as time passed, she transformed into wanting to take good care of Roxie.

Continuing to Shine on Small Screen

Although the Bravo series is introducing new faces, Madix will remain a prominent figure on the small screen. Her diverse career includes hosting Love Island USA and her remarkable Broadway performances. She continues to captivate audiences with her talent and presence. Whether on the reality show or the stage, Madix's star power shines brightly.
