Ariana Fans Come To Her Rescue…
Ariana has struggled since her split with Tom Sandoval. According to sources, Ariana Madix was “blindsided” and “heartbroken” when she learned of the musician’s infidelity after receiving a pornographic film from his “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Raquel Leviss.
After the breakup, Tom said, “We definitely have our ups and downs, for sure, but I believe we’ve been really good about respecting each other. And Sandoval continued, “I believe it’s simply worked, you know?” adding that he and Madix have “each other’s backs in a sensible way… within reason.” Given that Tom has a history of cheating scandals, his followers are naturally looking back in time as the news of his most recent separation spreads.
2013: A Love Based On Cheating
Although Tom Sandoval and Kristen Doute began dating in 2006, the world first learned about their relationship in 2013 when “Vanderpump Rules” debuted. Unfortunately, it was around this time that Tom cheated on his fiancée with Ariana Madix, another SUR employee. When Doute first accused him of

Following weeks of breakup rumours, Tom Sandoval and Kristen parted ways in January 2014 after an eight-year romance. At the time, a source allegedly stated that Doute left their shared West Hollywood apartment after nights of raucous arguments.
On the “Vanderpump Rules” season 2 reunion in February 2014, Tom admitted that he had cheated on Doute by kissing Ariana Madix. Four days before Valentine’s Day, the new couple made their Instagram account official.
The drama, however, didn’t end there. On the third season of “VPR,” Kristen came forward to claim that Tom had cheated on Madix with a woman known as “Miami Girls” while they were visiting Southern Florida. Madix responded to Tom’s ex by saying, “If I’m not bothered about it, it’s not something to worry about,” in response to the claims.
The mystery girl, later revealed to be AnneMarie Kunkel, was then brought forward by Doute, but Tom refrained from confronting her. Then, he claimed, “There are no texts between me and this Miami girl that show anything more than a social hangout in a group environment.
“The simple explanation is that nothing occurred!” About his ex-girlfriend, he continued, “Kristen is lying or, at the very least, reaching for something that doesn’t exist.” Yet Ariana kept encouraging her newfound adoration.
2016: Raquel Steps In
If you’ve seen “VPR,” you might be aware that Raquel Leviss, James Kennedy’s ex-girlfriend, had her first guest appearance in Season 5 in November 2016. She was seeing the same man that Doute Sandoval’s ex-girlfriend did. The following season, Raquel was elevated to recurring cast status, and in Season 9, she was added to the regular cast.

Kennedy got down on one knee and asked Leviss to marry him in May 2021, all in the spirit of Coachella. Surprisingly, Sandoval was the one who organized their engagement. Later, it was discovered that Sandoval had assisted Kennedy in covering the bill for the expensive evening. He claimed on “VPR” that he and James “shared the $25K [cost] because nothing makes me happier than to help a friend achieve a dream that they have.”

Leviss and Kennedy broke off their wedding, ending their seven-month engagement, while Tom and Ariana were busy creating their life together. In a joint Instagram post, the couple declared their breakup, writing, “We love each other very much, but we aren’t in love anymore.” “Please keep any thoughts positive because we only want the best for each other,” they continued. I love being sent. Who knew that motives could differ so greatly?
Summer 2022: Raquel and Tom Hook Up
Tom began having hookups with his friend’s ex after Kennedy broke up with Raquel. The tenth season of “VPR” was being filmed at this time. Leviss and Sandoval’s relationship reportedly “started last summer,” and it was stated that she “has stayed at Tom and Ariana’s house when Ariana’s been out of town.” Since then, everything has gone haywire.
Kennedy confirmed the information in an Instagram direct message, alleging that the romance began “7 months” prior, which would have been in July 2022. Also, he stated that in the LA home, “Ariana [was] sleeping” when Sandoval and Raquel had a sexual encounter.
At Shay’s (Ariana’s best friend) wedding to Brock Davies in August 2022, Leviss also had sex with co-star Tom Schwartz, which escalated the situation. Their encounter was acknowledged in an interview by Schwartz, whose divorce from Katie Maloney wasn’t finalized until October 2022, but he added that it wasn’t anything serious. He made light of the situation, saying, “My mom called me and said, ‘You don’t have to tell me, but I know you’re seeing Raquel.’ “Mum, I’m not dating Raquel!” I exclaim.
March 1, 2023: Shay Gets A Whiff Of The Scandal
After filming “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” with Leviss in New York City, Shay, Madix’s best friend, found out about Tom and Raquel’s adultery scandal. Scheana missed Raquel at one point in the evening and later discovered her outside the bar talking on the phone with Ariana, who Scheana could hear sobbing, according to the source.
In addition, the insider claimed that Shay had questioned Leviss and that this prompted her to confess while Ariana was on the phone. The disclosure was followed by a furious argument, according to our source. They returned to the hotel on their own, and they haven’t spoken or seen each other since.
Ariana did perform a final act, though, when she was spotted supporting Sandoval and his ex-girlfriend, Doute, while they performed in LA. Madix was also heard raving about what a “committed” partner Tom has become. She allegedly saw a lewd video of Leviss on his phone a short time later, exposing his infidelity.
3–4 March 2023: Arianna Swift’s Dump After realizing that Sandoval and Rauqel had been “communicating inappropriately for months,” Tom Madix was finally certain of their relationship. Everything was confirmed by Raquel’s explicit sexual film, and Madix promptly dumped Tom.
In a message posted to Instagram on March 4, 2023, Sandoval acknowledged the adultery scandal: “Hello, I fully understand and deserve your wrath and disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz’s friends and family out of this problem,” he said in part. Yet once more, he never apologised to Madix directly, and his fellow cast members of “VPR” criticised him vehemently for this. Well, it seems that once a cheater, always a cheater.
