What did Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz reveal about their love triangle at the Vanderpump Rules premiere party?

Katie revealed how she felt when she found out that she and Tom were interested in the same woman without giving any major spoilers. It is still up to the fans to find out who this mystery woman is and how their story unfolds as a triangle.

Talking about her accidental experience, Katie said,

"That was something I didn't, and couldn't prepare myself for, so I just sort of got through that. It was short-lived. But it was funny, we tried to just make it not too awkward, as much as possible. But like, what do you do? I don't know."

While Katie admitted to the love triangle being short-lived from her side, Tom's confession also hinted towards his interest in the mystery woman fizzling out. In the same interview, Tom was seen jokingly saying,

"I mean you guys, I love myself, but I'm no competition for Katie Maloney, you know what I'm saying? I waved the white flag."

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney were married for six years in their 10-year relationship. They filed for divorce in March 2022 and separated on a friendly note. After being together for so long, a relationship can seldom be cut off. Talking about their friendly relations, Tom said,

"I still love Kate with all my heart. Whenever I think of our relationship, it's still a highlight reel of all the best moments. But I still love Katie a lot—respectfully, with boundaries."

Now, it is for the fans to figure out what new dimension the love triangle brings to their relationship.
