All about Tom Sandoval's relationship with Ariana Madix and Raquel Leviss
In 2014, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix confirmed their relationship status during the Vanderpump Rules reunion. Tom cheated on Ariana after nearly ten years. An insider told People magazine that Ariana learned of Tom and Leviss' affair when she came to Los Angeles to support Tom and his band in early March 2023.
The insider further said:
"They had been having problems for a while, but this was the final straw for Ariana. She put up with a lot over the years, but she won't sit back and be disrespected this way."
The insider added:
"This has been going on for upwards of six months — all the while, Tom was sleeping next to Ariana in bed. She was completely blindsided by this; devastated doesn't even scratch the surface of how she feels."
On March 3, after the affair news was revealed, the couple decided to part ways. The next day, Tom apologized for what he did and confessed his side of the story on Instagram. During his confession, he requested that fans refrain from criticizing his loved ones, including castmate, friend, and business partner Schwartz.
Additionally, Tom asked them not to express their anger at cocktail lounges, TomTom, and Schwartz & Sandy's.
In an episode of Entertainment Tonight on March 8, Raquel Leviss apologized for the first time for her error.
"I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships," said Leviss. "There is no excuse, I am not a victim, and I must own my actions, and I deeply regret hurting Ariana."
On Wednesday, April 5, 2023, Tom Schwartz appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where he answered many questions. In the process, he also shared how Leviss' affair with Tom Sandoval began as a one-night stand.
Schwartz mentioned that he learned about Tom Sandoval and Leviss' hook-up back in August 2022, but Schwartz wasn't aware that they were having an affair. Afterward, he mentioned how Tom Sandoval told Schwartz in January 2023 that he was falling in love with Leviss.
On March 8, according to People magazine, Tom Sandoval and Leviss revealed that they do not currently have a relationship status. Leviss mentioned that she doesn't "want to label anything" at the moment.
