Ariana Madix has never looked better.
The Love Island USA host celebrated her 40th birthday on June 24 while in Fiji filming the Peacock reality dating competition series. And her b-day festivities were just as hot and the show's season seven bombshells.
In a clip posted to her Instagram Stories, the Vanderpump Rules alum held a sign that read, "40 is fine when you look 29" as she blew out candles on a cake. She joked in a caption, "Me looking possessed while I make a wish."
Days prior, Madix reflected on just how far she's come in the two years since her 2023 breakup scandal with ex Tom Sandoval lit the whole world on fire.
"I am so grateful to be a part of this show," she gushed in a June 19 Instagram post. "Looking at @loveislandusa from a distance, you might think of it as just sexy people making out in front of neon signs. if you are a fan, you know it’s so much deeper than that. time and time again i am invested in the beauty of the human spirit, friendships, and a great love story."
And advising the bombshells on their journeys of love has been a dream come true for the star.

"Thank you for letting me be your host," Madix continued. "They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life and it certainly feels that way! our crew of nearly 500 people deserves all the accolades. it’s not an easy feat to give you these perfectly delicious episodes in nearly real time! we are all so grateful to the cast for giving us their most amazing authentic selves. the icons that you are so if you’d like to consider us, we might want to recouple with you."
From starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, to walking away from the Bravo series after season 11 to become a scene-stealer on Love Island USA, the reality star has truly had the ultimate glow-up.
