Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval ended their relationship after Sandoval cheated with costar Raquel Leviss, and had previously discussed their decision to not get married or have children.
Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval called it quits in March 2023. The cause of the breakup was Sandoval’s infidelity with costar Raquel Leviss. Before the news of the split broke, Madix had previously denied rumors of having an open relationship with Sandoval, stating that they were monogamous. In the same month, the former couple had spoken about taking their relationship milestones at their own pace and not rushing into parenthood.
Madix had been candid about her desire to not get married, saying that it was unnecessary when a couple is happy together. She did not want to spend a large amount of money on a wedding. Sandoval shared the same sentiment, and they were not influenced by their castmates, who were starting families.
Despite being together for nearly a decade, split rumors had plagued them. However, in October 2022, Sandoval had confirmed that they were still together and happy. The rumors started when fans speculated about a truck parked outside their house, believing that one of them was moving out. It turned out that the truck was for an advertisement they were filming.
Through the years, both Madix and Sandoval had expressed their happiness in their relationship and had their own reasons for not settling for societal expectations. However, it seems that cheating was a dealbreaker for Madix, leading to their eventual breakup.
