Tom Sandoval Reveals How He Met His Girlfriend, Victoria Lee, and What She's Like

Describing the reaction of both the Vanderpump Rules cast and the general public as mere disgust upon discovering Tom Sandoval and Rachel "Raquel" Leviss's affair would be an understatement. The news led to a significant backlash on social media and beyond, with the cast collectively expressing their strong disapproval.

However, as time passed, the commotion subsided, prompting speculation about Tom Sandoval's love life. While we know his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, has officially moved on, the question remains — has he? Keep reading to find out who Tom is dating these days.

As of July 2024, Tom Sandoval is dating model Victoria Lee Robinson. In February of that year, a source close to the VPR star told TMZ that the two had "been officially dating for about a month or so."

Also in May 2024, both Tom and Victoria appeared on Watch What Happens Live to share more details about their relationship. Victoria revealed that she hadn't watched VPR prior to meeting Tom, which boded well for a clean slate for the former pariah of the reality show.

And during the VPR after-show, Tom dished: "She's super cool. She's very successful. She's a model, does very well for herself, has her own house." He also mentioned he "randomly" met her at the Waterfront.

Tom has shared glimpses of their time together on his Instagram Story; on Jan. 31, 2024, he shared a video and photo from Schwartz and Sandy's, his cocktail lounge and restaurant in Los Angeles.

Victoria reciprocated the affection by posting a cozy snapshot of them together on her own story, which Sandy later reposted. The image captures both of them smiling with closed eyes, radiating happiness.

Tom also reposted a few memorable photos of the two together to his Instagram Stories, which Victoria had shared on hers, in honor of his birthday in July 2024.

Victoria shared the first photo they took together when they were just friends (it's the one of her in a school girl costume) and added sweet messages at the bottom of each. "Whoever knows you personally knows you are the most thoughtful, loving person," she wrote under one photo. Another caption read, “i love our adventures and how wild we are.”

While they initially attended a food festival in Los Angeles together back in December 2023 as friends, their relationship has since evolved into a romantic one, evident from their public appearances together.

Since they've been more public with their relationship, folks haven't held back on sharing their opinions about the pair, including Tom's ex, Ariana. She suggested that Tom's recent dating pattern might be related to "age and getting older," hence his interest in younger women. Victoria is 32, while Tom is 41.

Tom shared in the VPR Season 11 reunion that, years before he met Victoria, she was romantically linked to none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. James Kennedy even chimed in that he recognized a similar-looking brunette woman on Leo's arm on wallpaper in Tom's house. Which is a total coincidence of course, but kind of serendipitous maybe?

Dating Tom Sandoval must be pretty awkward these days. He's not exactly the most beloved figure lately. But, back in May 2023, there were fleeting rumors connecting Tom to Karlee Hale, a holistic lifestyle influencer, all thanks to an eagle-eyed TikTok user.

On May 18, 2023, TikTok creator Sarah Koefod (@sarahkoefod) posted a video of herself hanging out with friends at the Austin Proper Hotel. In the video, she revealed, "Last night I was actually out in Austin, Texas where I live and I saw Tom with a mystery woman."

In the video, she shows a picture of Tom walking to the bar and Tom sitting down at a table with a woman sitting next to him, whom, thanks to some Instagram detective work, she discovered was Karlee Hale.

Later, The Sun confirmed Karlee's identity and shared that the pair were an item. Following the article, Tom and Karlee were photographed in public together a few times.

However, just days after the speculation started, Tom denied that he was dating Karlee, according to TMZ. A rep for Tom told the publication that they were just friends and hung out because he was in town performing with his band.

Now, it seems, things are still going strong with Tom and Victoria. Whether or not she's still in his life when the show gets around to filming for Season 12, and whether or not she would agree to film with Tom, remains to be seen.
