Love Island USA host Arielle Vandenberg is an actress and model who is best known for high-profile marketing campaigns and cameos in numerous movies and TV shows. In 2018, CBS acquired the rights to bring the hit British dating reality show Love Island to the United States. Production on the show started right away, but Arielle wasn't publicly attached to the project for some time. The network then announced that the American series would premiere during the summer of 2019. A month ahead of the series premiere, Arielle was finally announced as the host.
To the longtime fans of this franchise, there was an instant familiarity between Arielle Vandenberg and Caroline Flack, who hosted the British version of Love Island for many years. With that said, Arielle certainly has her own voice and sense of humor... providing just enough familiarity to welcome longtime viewers from around the world while also connecting to a primarily American audience. With that said, many viewers in the United States may not be instantly familiar with Arielle's name and face. But as the Love Island franchise continues to grow, it is safe to assume that this is about to change.
Before hosting Love Island USA, Arielle Vandenberg was already a successful model, actress, and social media influencer. Overall, her career in showbiz now spans 15 years.

On social media, she first rose to prominence on the video-sharing social network Vine. Currently, she has 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
Considering that she's the host of Love Island USA, some viewers might also be curious about Arielle Vandenberg's dating life. Her first public relationship was with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner between 2011 and 2014. During that period of time, Arielle starred in the band's music video for "R U Mine?" She then briefly dated actor Will Arnett in 2015. Finally, in 2019, Arielle got engaged to Matt Cutshall, who also happened to be a huge Vine star at the height of the social network's popularity.
