Ariana keeps on winning:
Since losing 180 pounds of dead weight [aka Tom Sandoval], Ariana became unstoppable. In addition to being a record-breaking host of Love Island USA, Ariana endured a painful season of Pump Rules having her ‘friends’ and producers force a redemption arc for her serial cheating ex-life partner.
Since VPR’s season 11 finale wrapped, Ariana spent the first half of summer in Fiji in the Love Island USA villa. Immediately following her incredible hosting gig, she made a quick trip to the sandwich shop she co-owns with Katie Maloney. While she visiting the We-Ho eatery with her LI: USA friends, actor Seth Rogen stopped by for a sandwich.

Then, there’s the Hollywood Hills home Ariana purchased:
News broke in March that Ariana purchased another home. While she waits for the worm with[out] a mustache to find a roommate or figure out he can’t afford to live there anymore, she went out and bought a $1.6M home in Hollywood.
Originally built in 1962, the mid-century modern house was completely renovated before Ariana purchased it. An insider told the tabloid, “Ariana has fallen in love with this home and is excited for a new chapter.”
