“Love Island” star Ariana Madix is dealing with an upsetting situation. According to several new reports, the reality star’s California home was broken into earlier in the week, and the thieves left with a handful of pricey items.
The news of Ariana Madix’s home burglary comes two years after she purchased the home following her falling out with her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. At the time, a source said Madix had “fallen in love” with the property and was looking forward to moving on.
