Ariana Madix replacing Sarah Hyland as ‘Love Island USA’ host: report

A hot new host has entered the villa.

Ariana Madix is set to take over Sarah Hyland’s “Love Island USA” hosting gig for Season 6, according to TMZ. Hyland, 33, has led the reality dating show for its last two seasons.

While the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 38, has yet to formally sign her reported deal, TMZ sources claimed it is expected to be inked soon, and an announcement will follow shortly after that.

Meanwhile, Page Six exclusively learned that Hyland declined to return to “Love Island” for a “job offer that conflicted with the show’s shooting dates.”

TMZ sources claimed the deal has not been signed, but is expected to move forward.
The “Modern Family” alum hosted Seasons 4 and 5 of the hit reality dating series.

Representatives for Madix and Hyland did not reply to Page Six’s request for comment.

Madix previously made a cameo during Season 5 of “Love Island,” appearing at the picturesque waterfront villa to host an intense round of her “favorite” game, “Mr. and Mrs.”

She revealed she was a fan of “Love Island” during “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10 while she was arguing with her now-ex, Tom Sandoval, about how to strengthen their relationship.

“You don’t sit there and watch episodes of ‘Love Island’ with me,” she complained.

Madix told Rolling Stone she was “over the moon” when she was tapped to surprise contestants on the Peacock show.

“I have seen every episode of every iteration of ‘Love Island’ and it is my favorite show,” she gushed during the July 2023 interview. “Most of my friends are well aware of my obsession and were just as excited as I am for me to be able to live my dream.”

Her guest spot came months after Sandoval, 40, was caught cheating on her with their former co-star Raquel Leviss, who now prefers being called Rachel. Madix also went on to compete in Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars” and is currently starring in “Chicago” on Broadway.
