Ariana Madix has had a meteoric rise as a host — one that landed her an Emmy nomination this year.

After a guest-hosting gig during the fifth season of the summertime dating show “Love Island USA,” she officially took over the reins for the sixth season in 2024. Two years later, she has wrapped Season 8 — her third — and was Emmy-nominated for host for a reality or reality competition program.
