Ariana Madix's Love Island look 'requires a team effort'
The 40-year-old reality star has revealed that she's doing her best to stay in tip-top condition while hosting Love Island in Fiji.
Speaking to E! News, Ariana explained: "I am in the gym all the time, unless I'm in the villa, depending on what time I go in, I may or may not go to the gym. But the gym is very important. So, I'm working out, I am drinking a lot of water."
Despite this, Ariana insists she's not too strict with her approach to fitness and wellness.
The TV star - who began hosting Love Island USA in 2024 - said: "I'm going to have some wine here and there. But I do try to keep things protein heavy."
Ariana has turned heads with some of her eye-catching outfits on the reality TV show. But she admits that it requires a "team effort" to prepare for the series.
She said: "I definitely have a lot of input with the looks but it's a team effort, from Emily Men, my stylist.
"We do fittings before I leave and we are constantly sending each other inspo. Then she finds the most amazing things and then once we get here, we get the looks."
Meanwhile, Ariana previously revealed that she loves hosting Love Island USA.
The former Vanderpump Rules star told Parade: "I'm so excited. I just love the show, and I feel like we had such an amazing season last season, and I'm just so excited to be a part of it and to go back.
"I love being the host of my favourite show."
As the host, Ariana is required to be "unbiased" towards the contestants.
However, Ariana admits that it's not always easy to maintain a neutral stance.
She said: "[Something] I definitely learned about myself - that I really empathise with so much of what everyone goes through on the show - [is] that it's difficult for me to keep my personal thoughts and feelings at the door, but that it's such an important thing to do because as the host, I can't really be too forthcoming with what I think. Because of course I watch all the episodes, I watch everything, and I have to be very much unbiased, and I learned how difficult that really is to do."

Ariana Madix likens Beyond the Villa to Vanderpump Rules
Ariana Madix sees similarities between Vanderpump Rules and Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The 40-year-old beauty - who previously starred on Vanderpump Rules, before becoming the host of Love Island USA in 2024 - admits that there are some obvious similarities between the hit reality TV series and the new Love Island spin-off show, which traces the lives of the Islanders a year after gaining fame. Speaking to People, Ariana explained: "There's a lot of similarities to filming [the spin-off] as, I feel like, there was to filming Vanderpump Rules, for example." Ariana enjoyed being reunited with the likes of Serena Page and JaNa Craig as part of her hosting duties. She said: "When JaNa and Serena came out to do Aftersun, we were able to go out and get dinner the night before. And that was really fun." JaNa and Serena even paid a visit to Ariana and Katie Maloney's sandwich shop. Ariana shared: "They came to the sandwich shop, Something About Her, to shoot their spin-off show. So I got to chat with them a little bit there, because a lot of times we interact online." Meanwhile, Vanderpump Rules has undergone a reboot ahead of season 12 of the show, and Ariana previously warned the all-new cast that they have a "tough road ahead of them". The reality star is excited to watch the upcoming season of the long-running TV show, but she insisted that it won't be an easy experience for the new line-up. Ariana - who made her Broadway as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago in 2024 - told Extra: "I'm excited to see, I guess, how it works. "It's such a hard thing to do, I think, to put yourself out there … They have a tough road ahead of them … Anybody, I think, who's done that has lived that, and I think they'll be great. They'll have fun." Ariana also revealed that she learned a lot about herself during her time on Vanderpump Rules. She said: "I've learned to trust myself. I've also learned to trust my gut more and I think I've learned that I can do things that are hard in life."

Sarah Jessica Parker is not 'overly eager' to become an empty nester
Sarah Jessica Parker is not "overly eager" to become a so-called empty nester. The 60-year-old actress has James, 22, and 16-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion with husband Matthew Broderick, and Sarah acknowledges that her life will change in dramatic fashion once all of her kids leave home. During an upcoming appearance on The Best People with Nicolle Wallace - a clip of which has been shared with E! News - the actress explains: "The idea of leisure is pretty amazing to think about. "But I'm not overly eager for it, because I don't want it until I know that my children are pursuing their next stage of life in their academic careers. When they go to college, I can think about travelling in September." Sarah already has a number of projects in the works, and she doesn't have any intention of slowing down in her professional life. She said: "You don't imagine days where you're like, 'Hmm, what should I do today?' Because that's just not been - no fault but my own - the way I've functioned." Despite this, Sarah is planning to travel more when her twins do leave home. Asked how she might spend her free time, Sarah replied: "Probably travel more. There are times that other countries are at their best, and right now with my children in school, I can't go where I would wanna go." Meanwhile, Sarah previously revealed that she wants her children to be able to "take care of themselves" financially. The Hollywood star told The E! News Sitdown: "I really want my children to be educated in the ways that are fulfilling to them. "I don't think that there is one way to be an educated person or to be equipped to be an adult and try to fashion a life for yourself after what would be considered 'finishing college' - let's say 22 years old. "You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying and to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves - emotionally, financially, and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people. And so we talk about work like that."
