It’s over between Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval!
According to a shocking report from TMZ on Friday, the reality stars have called it quits after nine years of dating. The news of the longtime couple’s breakup will rock fans of Vanderpump Rules, considering they have been together since 2013 when Ariana joined the show as a full-time cast member. But what will come as even more of a shock is the reason for the split. Why? Because the TomTom co-owner allegedly cheated on her with their co-star Raquel Leviss! You know, the same Raquel who hooked up with Tom Schwartz at Scheana Shay’s wedding — even though Katie Maloney was not okay with her ex-husband getting together with her or anyone in their friend group!
Sources claimed to the outlet that Ariana found out about Sandoval’s infidelity just in the last couple of days and broke up with him shortly afterward. Innerestingly enough, the cocktail book author was spotted with Tom on Wednesday as they celebrated the release of his new single. Yikes. She must have just found out about the affair with Raquel then??

However, other insiders close to the 39-year-old said the duo has been on the outs for a while now. Hmm…
As for how long the affair was? Well, a timeline has not been laid out yet. But according to gossip account DeuxMoi, the rumor has been going around for a while. They re-shared on Friday a blind item from back on February 22 that read:
“A certain Bravo pageant queen is having an affair with one half of the bar owning duo who share the same name, but not the one you think. They are hooking up behind the back of his longtime gf and a very close source says they are in love. It may have started as an open relationship situation but is now a full blown secret affair.”
“They are in love?!” WHAT?!! Ch-ch-check it out (below):
For those wondering, TMZ also noted that producers found out about the situation and decided to roll the cameras – including getting the entire cast’s reaction to what went down! We know Katie must have A LOT to say about this, considering she hasn’t held back her feelings about Raquel over the past few weeks. And viewers won’t have to wait too long for the drama, as they plan to tack it on at the end of the current season.
Neither Sandoval nor Ariana has spoken out about the split or the cheating allegations – but the 37-year-old reality star deleted both her Twitter and Instagram accounts. That seems pretty telling if you ask us! Plus, Andy Cohen seemingly confirmed the rumors when the TMZ report came out and dropped a single siren emoji. See (below):
