Look Back at Ariana Madix's Journey with This Vanderpump Rules Watch Guide
See how far Ariana Madix has come ahead of the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 premiere and take a look back at her memorable episodes.
Ariana Madix may not be a Vanderpump Rules OG, but it's safe to say that she's been a fan-favorite ever since she first started making guest appearances on the show as Scheana Shay's friend.
Since then, Ariana has more than come into her own — and soon, viewers will be able to get the latest on her life when Season 11 premieres at the end of January.
As for what to expect, look no further than Ariana's official BravoTV.com bio: "Ariana Madix’s life was turned upside down after a devastating breakup, but she’s determined to make the best of a difficult situation. Although she still shares a home with her ex, Ariana is moving on and dating a new long-distance boyfriend. While working to open the doors to her and Katie’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, Ariana is embracing the countless opportunities that have come her way, including a new cocktail book."
It's all happening starting Tuesday, January 30. And in the meantime, you can take a look back at Ariana's journey by watching a few of her key Vanderpump Rules episodes from the past 10 seasons, which we've rounded up below.
