Ariana Madix Talks New DWTS Family, Celeb Dying To Meet
Since Ariana Madix was cast on DWTS, it has caused a tremendous distraction from her outside stressors. More than that, it has allowed her to release her demons from the affair that rocked her world in March 2023. She was cheated on by her longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval with her best friend, Rachel Leviss. Then, they had to continue living together because they co-owned a home and it was just the best financial choice. However, her heart was broken but she received immense support from her co-stars and the fans. Then, speculation started about DWTS and soon enough, she was the first celeb cast.
It is now her fourth week and she is doing incredibly well. Furthermore, it does not hurt that she has made some great friends on the show. According to People, this cast has become like a family to her and she has really found a new set of friends. “Everyone is super, super nice and everyone is all really supportive of each other,” the Something About Her sandwich shop owner revealed. She has grown especially close to Lele Pons who she just recently met.
“I love her so much and we’ve just been kind of like in each other’s corners with this whole process. We were tango sisters the first week, then we were samba sisters the second week…. I love watching her and supporting her. I think she’s killing it. And she’s just been really supportive of me too.” However, there was one celeb Ariana Madix was really stoked to meet- Barry Williams from The Brady Bunch. She noted that she was a huge fan growing up and added that is really a good person.
