Madix’s ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval previously promised to support her from afar.

“I’m going to do both, vote and watch. I’m really, really excited for her,” he told za Party tonight earlier this month after Madix joined the Season 32 cast. “I know she’s wanted to do this show for years. I think she’s going to do great. She’s a really hard worker. I think she’s going to go far, hopefully.”

However, Madix, 38, has made it clear she’s ready to go ahead with the season premiere seven months after #Scandoval .

As fans know, Madix was caught off guard earlier this year when it was revealed that her longtime boyfriend Sandoval had been involved in a months-long affair with their co-star Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. The affair ended their nine-year relationship and shocked the reality world.

Ariana Madix Says She Hopes ‘VPR’ ‘My Girls’ Will ‘Come and Support’ Her on ‘DWTS’

Before her performance, Madix shared: “My life has been a roller coaster for the past year. You probably know me from VPR. My partner of 9 years and one of my best girlfriends were in a relationship for 9 years. And everyone had to watch it all unfold and my life explode on television.”

“But this scandal does not define me. So now I just want to do something for myself, it’s fun and positive,” she added. “It’s time to just stand on my own two feet.”

“Feeling like you were a joke to your partner of 9 years and your best friend is devastating. But I want to show other women that none of that has to hold you back. This will be a more confident, fun and vibrant version of me. Because I don’t need anyone else. I love myself.”

Madix — dressed in a red outfit reminiscent of her famous “revenge dress” — then took to the dance floor to perform a sexy tango to Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself” with partner Pasha Pashkova.

The TV personality was praised for her performance, with judge Derek Hough saying: “Ariana, that was fantastic! Force. That was killer.”

Carrie Ann Inaba added, “As a woman, cheaters are shit, but you just showed everyone watching how you handle a cheater!”

That shouldn’t come as a surprise VPR fans that Madix scored 21 out of 30 on the first night of the competition. She previously showed off her dancing skills all the way back to Season 1 in 2013, when she was a back-up performer for Shay during one of her first live performances as a musician.
