The #Scandoval came to a head in the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale on May 17, 2023.
While news of Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s astonishing affair broke shortly after the 10th installment debuted, it wasn’t until the show’s finale episode that fans saw Ariana Madix discover that her partner of nine years was cheating on her.
After the Season 10 three-part reunion dropped on Bravo, major revelations were revealed, many of which left the even the producers in shock. So, are Raquel and Tom still together or was the secret romance all for nothing? Here's what we know.
Are Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss together now? A lot has happened since Season 10 wrapped.
While word of Tom and Raquel’s shocking affair has been out in the open for quite some time now, Vanderpump Rules fans finally watched the scandal unfold as Season 10 wrapped up (Part 3 of the reunion aired on June 7, 2023).
Their secret romance apparently began in August 2022. However, initial reports of their affair didn’t come out until March 2023. With so much history between the two, it’s no wonder viewers are curious about whether Tom and Raquel’s controversial relationship has withstood the test of time.
Are they still together?
According to a May 2023 report in Page Six, the Vanderpump Rules co-stars have officially gone their separate ways. Not only that, but the source says Tom and Raquel’s breakup occurred longer ago than anyone ever expected. But did they really end things?
An insider revealed that the reality stars called off their secret affair two months after it began. “Raquel dipped out,” the source revealed. “Sandoval is not the one for her.”
An insider also told The Messenger in May 2023 that Tom wasn’t in the proper headspace to pursue a serious relationship with Raquel. "His relationships with everyone right now are on the back burner, and he's focusing on his music," the source explained to the outlet, adding:
"He's about to turn 40 and trying his best to move away from all of this, but he's struggling at times. Like anyone trying to better themselves, it's one day at a time."
Despite the news, Raquel and Tom both admitted to Andy Cohen during Part 3 of the reunion (which filmed in March 2023) that they were "in love." Does that mean they may still be seeing each other? It's not clear. What we do know, however, is that Raquel entered a facility for mental health treatment, her rep confirmed with Today on April 14, 2023. Clearly, the two may still be struggling from the aftermath of the affair.
Raquel revealed new details about her affair with Tom during Season 10 reunion.
Aside from admitting they have have strong feelings for one another, the Season 10, Part 3 reunion also brought to light some other interesting details. Raquel admitted that the affair with Tom began earlier than what they led on, but didn't share the first time they "connected." (Reportedly, their first time happened on "Guys' Night" in August 2022.) Instead, she says the second time they hooked up was during Shay's wedding in Mexico (that happened on Aug. 23, 2022).
Raquel also confirmed that she and Tom had sex in his and Ariana's home when she was out of town attending a funeral, which would have been September 2022. As if that wasn't enough to digest, Raquel went on to divulge details of her asking Tom if Ariana would be open to having her enter the relationship, making it a full-on thruple. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't up for it.
Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss publicly apologized to Ariana Madix following the shocking cheating scandal.
Once Ariana realized her partner of nearly 10 years had been two-timing her, she immediately called it quits. However, that didn’t stop Raquel and Tom from trying to make things right.
“I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us," the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner wrote in a statement on Instagram on March 8, 2023.
"I feel really horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends,” he went on.
Raquel, for her part, shared a similar statement with Entertainment Tonight.
“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,” the reality star said in March 2023. “There is no excuse, I am not a victim, and I must own my actions, and I deeply regret hurting Ariana.”
