Ariana Madix has made her stage daddy, Andy Cohen, very proud. As we all know, Tom Sandoval’s affair blindsided Ariana at the tail end of Vanderpump Rules Season 10. After Tom lost the best girl life has ever given him, Ariana’s star rose significantly. She’s now got endorsement deals, a loving new beau, multiple filming opportunities, and oh yeah, BROADWAY 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, and on this, Andy’s smiles are massive, watching Ari nail every single gig she receives.

Andy Cohen tells Ariana Madix how proud he is of her success

Ariana just appeared on Watch What Happens Live. Within, a smiling Andy applauded Ariana for “𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing” her hosting duties on Love Island USA. This series is winding down, as Andy further noted that Ari is “taping the Love Island reunion tomorrow.” Andy’s praises then continued sounding, which tracks, as Ariana’s moves made post heartbreak are inspiring AF.

“I just have to say, I am so proud,” Andy began, only to then ask, “Is it okay for me to be proud of you? Am I allowed to be proud of you?” Smiling cutely, Ariana answered with a yes and a thank you for Andy.

“I am so proud of you. [I’m] watching you 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 it all over the place. It’s exciting,” Andy expressed. After thanking Andy, Ariana showed signs of heightened nerves about her reunion hosting gig. Cue Andy, uplifting Ariana once more.

“You’re going to do a great job with the reunion,” Andy ended, as a blushing, giddy, thankful Ariana humbly accepted his praise. His studio audience agreed. They broke out in cheers, applauding for Ariana once Andy had finished speaking.

Andy is right. Ariana is 100% 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing it right now. After her reunion hosting gig wraps, Ariana will return to the stages of freakin Broadway, reprising the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago. Her first run broke box office records, so the Ambassador Theater wisely brought her back for another go. After that, the sky is the limit for Ariana.

So. Stuff that in your penis-flute and smoke it, Tom.
