It seems like he finally hit rock bottom, admitting that he regrets the affair but wants a healthy relationship with his mistress- no shame at all.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Sandoval acknowledges that he could have handled his affair with Raquel Leviss and the resulting aftermath much better. Among the mistakes he presumably regrets is his initial public apology, which forgot to identify Ariana Madix and resulted in a second apology that specifically addressed her.
“Tom has been extremely emotional since the Vanderpump Rules reunion,” a source reported. Sandoval is optimistic about his future with the former beauty queen after discussing his affair with Raquel last week with their co-stars and host, Andy Cohen. “He wants things to work out with Raquel,” the source further revealed. However, he knows the chances are against them as a couple.
A second source close to the leader of Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras confirmed that he and Leviss are friends but are not labeling anything now. The pair was received with significant animosity during Thursday’s Season 10 reunion, which was recorded in Los Angeles.
Last week, a source confirmed rumors that the cast slammed Sandoval and Leviss for hours, stating, “The anger towards them is to be expected.” Cohen asked the two, who sat beside each other throughout the nuclear recording when their affair began.
During Sandoval’s nine-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Ariana, they acknowledged having sexual relations. Despite enjoying each other’s company during breaks while smoking and having what appeared to be a heart-to-heart, the pair stated that their fling did not develop into a severe relationship until much later.
The romance lasted approximately seven months. Madix discovered the infidelity on March 1st after an explicit video received by Leviss appeared on Sandoval’s phone. “My greatest regret is dishonoring Ariana. I never intended to let down so many people, especially our dear families, and friends,” he stated earlier this month on social media.
Sandoval also said he received so much heat for the affair because it was unexpected, unlike other cheating scandals that have plagued the ensemble. He speculated that he received so much heat for the affair because it was unexpected, in contrast to earlier infidelity scandals on “Vanderpump Rules.”
The continued consequences of Sandoval and Leviss’s covert relationship have not prevented them from going out together. The disgraced Bravolebrities were caught on a public dinner date barely hours after the filming of the reunion wrapped over the weekend; they were cuddling at a booth at The Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood.
A day earlier, Leviss stated that she and Sandoval wanted to make amends with those they had wronged previously to define their relationship status. During a four-minute conversation with a paparazzi outside a nail shop, she stated, “I know that many people are angry. Therefore, we’re just going to get through the next few steps and see where it goes.”
Madix, for her part, appears utterly indifferent to Sandoval and Leviss’s actions. When asked about the current status of their relationship, the actress stated earlier this week, “At this point, I don’t care what either of them does.”
