Love Island USA host and former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix was joined by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kyle Richards’ ex-husband Mauricio Umansky at the Dancing with the Stars 20th anniversary party.
The ballroom lights were brighter than ever last night as reality TV stars and famous faces gathered together to celebrate the milestone for the hit show. The pair were featured in Dancing with the Stars’ Instagram carousel along with a whole host of former contestants, including Shawn Johnson, Alyson Hannigan, Candace Cameron Bure, Melissa Joan Hart, Chrishell Stause, and Trista Sutter.
Madix stunned in white pants with a matching white jacket and a glittering bra top, along with silver heels. She was sat at a table with fellow former contestants Chrishell Stause and Charity Lawson. She danced her way to a third-place finish on Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, paired with pro-dancer Pasha Pashkov.
Mauricio Umansky, who appeared on the show as a celebrity contestant, remains a familiar face in the Dancing with the Stars universe. He was dressed down in a black leather jacket, happily posing next to his daughter, Alexia.

Ariana Madix has been dating fitness coach Daniel Wai, with whom she has been linked since 2023, according to The New York Post. The pair began dating after her very public split from Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval.

This is an appreciation post for @arianamadix I am so proud of you and you are so amazing and to me you are the champ, the people’s champ.”
In a comment back, Ariana wrote, “Your support throughout this incredible journey that was DWTS was everything. helping me keep my shit together, helping my mom get to the shows, and reminding me always of everything good. what an insane time this was. i’m so grateful you were a part of it. ❤️”
