Ariana makes Love Island shine. Peacock seemingly agrees. Therefore, Ariana is marked safe from all early exit rumors. She is going nowhere, except for when she has to return to host the reunion for Love Island Season 7.

Again, for those in the back, this blonde stunner will return for another season of Love Island. This statement means we no longer have to ask Charlotte to haunt any casting executives in their sleep. IYKYK.

Additionally, following her reunion hosting gig for Love Island Season 7, Ariana is stepping back into her hosting duties to take over the reins on Love Island Games Season 2. This second season, now featuring Ariana, premieres September 16.

During a recent episode of Aftersun, production played a montage of the Season 7 stars praising their host, Ariana. In the background, we saw Ariana taking in all their comments, wearing a face containing many heartfelt emotions. Overall, this montage felt like a farewell nod.

Clips from this montage quickly went viral on TikTok. Here, users hypothesized that Ariana would soon exit stage left following the conclusion of Love Island Season 7. Thankfully, Ariana clocked in on the comments section of one such post, writing that she was “not leaving.”

Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock.
