Ariana Madix confirms she’s joining ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 32
Something about her tango.
Ariana Madix revealed that she will be joining the Season 32 cast of “Dancing with the Stars” on Friday.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star appeared alongside judge Derek Hough at her sandwich shop, Something About Her, where they made the announcement in a video aired on “Good Morning America” Friday.
“This season on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ we are going absolutely mad – mad for Madix,” Hough began in the video.
Madix, 38, then hopped onto the screen and announced, “I will be joining the cast of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ this season!”
“That’s right! Say goodbye to the drama and hello to the dance floor,” Hough, also 38, added.
The two ended the short video by saying “let’s dance” at the same time and jokingly dancing it out together.
The rest of the cast of “DWTS” will be revealed on Sept. 13. Season 32 starts airing this fall.
Page Six previously confirmed in April that Madix would be dancing her way to a hopeful mirrorball trophy.

“ABC is in late stage conversations with [Madix] to be a contestant to join ‘DWTS’ this fall,” a source told us at the time and added that she “already received all of the approvals and sign-offs from NBC Universal.”
Fans have been speculating for months that Madix would be joining the popular dancing show – and making Bravo history as the first non-“Real Housewife” to compete from the network – but the rumors heated up when Hough was spotted outside her sandwich shop on Thursday.
Hough and Madix were spotted hugging each other and laughing as she showed him inside her yet-to-be-opened business in West Hollywood, Calif.
Madix was thrown into a heightened spotlight in March after she found out her then-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, was having a months-long affair with her BFF, Raquel Leviss.
The dalliance – since dubbed Scandoval – made headlines beyond the Bravoverse that has helped Madix score other major partnership gigs.
