<p id=”par-4_43″>Commenters immediately started freaking out, with many swearing they would not watch the show if Madix departed. The Bravo star joined <em>Love Island USA </em>as host in season 6, replacing Sarah Hyland, who <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/love-island-usa-fans-wonder-happened-host-sarah-hyland.html/”>hosted seasons 4 and 5</a>. Arielle Vandenberg hosted seasons 1-3.</p>

<p id=”par-6_13″>“Thank you,” she wrote. “I’m not leaving. I’ll see you guys really soon.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_15″><em>Love Island USA </em>fans expressed their relief that Madix intends to stay on as host. </p>
<p id=”par-8_34″>“omg thank God my husband and I cried thinking this was farewell!!! I followed your journey since vanderpump rules and could never think of a better host than you,” one wrote. “you are amazing.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_56″>Peacock has not announced whether <em>Love Island USA </em>will return for season 8<em>. </em>However, given season 7’s popularity, chances are the streamer will renew the series. In the meantime, Madix will be back to host the <em>Love Island USA </em>Season 7 reunion with Andy Cohen. It streams Monday, August 25, at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock. </p>
