After more than a decade on the popular reality show ‘Vanderpump Rules’, Ariana Madix has decided to step away and pursue new opportunities. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ariana shared her reasons why she would “never” go back to the show that made her a household name. Instead, she has chosen to explore different career paths and has found fulfillment in doing so.
One of the exciting projects Ariana has taken on since leaving ‘Vanderpump Rules’ is starring as Roxie Hart in ‘Chicago’ on Broadway. This role allowed her to pay tribute to her late grandmother, keeping a poster of her in her dressing room as a source of inspiration before each performance. Ariana’s dedication to her craft and her personal connections shine through in her work on stage.
In addition to her time on Broadway, Ariana has also ventured into hosting, including a role on ‘Love Island USA’, as well as competing on ‘Dancing with the Stars’. These experiences have allowed her to showcase her talents in new ways and challenge herself to grow as a performer.
During her interview with PEOPLE, Ariana opened up about her journey towards prioritizing mental health, finding peace, and embracing a new relationship. Through it all, she has shown resilience, growth, and a commitment to self-discovery. Her story serves as an inspiration to others who may be navigating similar paths in their own lives.
As Ariana continues to forge ahead in her career and personal life, it is clear that she is thriving in this new chapter. While her time on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ may be behind her, it is evident that she has a bright future ahead as she explores new opportunities and challenges.
