In a TikTok announcement earlier this month, Ariana revealed her participation in the new season of the reality series. A day before that, it was announced that she would be joining the cast of Dancing With the Stars for season 32.

Judge Derek Hough enthusiastically announced on the July 7 episode of Good Morning America that this season on Dancing With the Stars, they are completely enamored with Madix. He made this exciting announcement while joining Ariana at her and Pump Rules co-star Katie Maloney's Something About Her sandwich shop. This comes after Ariana's notable appearances on various reality TV shows, following a tumultuous period between her and ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval on Pump Rules season 10. The season finale revolved around the aftermath of their breakup, also known as "Scandoval," as news broke in March that Tom, 40, had cheated on Ariana with their co-star Raquel Leviss.

With the start of season 11 filming, producer Alex Baskin expressed concerns about the possibility of the exes encountering each other on set. "It's always a challenge when individuals don't want to film together due to strained relationships," Baskin stated in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "In this case, it's a particularly extreme situation. However, it's worth mentioning that Ariana and Tom Sandoval still reside in the same household."

He further added, "It's difficult to imagine them not filming together, considering they share a living space."

Fans believed that Ariana, who is now dating Daniel Wai, left her and Tom's home in May after partnering with SoFi, a finance company, on social media. However, according to Baskin, she hasn't officially moved out of their shared residence yet.

Baskin expressed that it's time to "move on" from Scandoval and stated that the show should not just focus on sleuthing, as it has always been evolving. He added that everyone is trying to move forward with their lives and if the past reemerges, then it does.
