It looks like Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is already moving on from Scandoval.

Madix is reportedly “in talks” to join Dancing With The Stars Season 32, according to ET. The season is set to premiere this September.

An inside source alleges Madix is in “late stage conversations” to compete in DWTS this fall, Page Six reports. She “has already received all of the approvals and sign-offs from NBC Universal,” which owns Bravo, the Vanderpump Rules network home.

By then, Madix will be coming off of an explosive season of her hit reality show.

The star found herself in the middle of a massive scandal earlier this year when she learned her longterm boyfriend Tom Sandoval had been cheating on her with their co-star, Raquel Leviss.

The highly publicized affair came as such a shock to fans that Bravo resumed filming soon after news broke to include the drama in this season. It also led to a “heated” Season 10 reunion as the cast confronted Sandoval and Leviss about the scandal.

But it looks like Madix isn’t letting this scandal slow her down. She will also be joining Meagan Good in the Lifetime movie Buying Back My Daughter. The reality star and actress has made a number of television appearances over the years, including in The Other Two, Anger Management and Dads.

As an OG Vanderpump Rules cast member, Madix has cemented herself as a fan-favorite. The shocking affair caused her co-stars and viewers alike to rally around her and voice their support, and Madix expressed appreciation for their help on social media shortly after the scandal broke.

“I know that I am not in this alone. So many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels,” Madix wrote in an Instagram post just weeks after the affair became public. “I am so fucking lucky to have the best support system in the world and I hope I can repay every single person for the love you have shown me.”

Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. You can stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.
