Who is Tom Sandoval's Girlfriend? A Closer Look at His Relationship

Best known for starring in Bravo's reality television series, Vanderpump Rules, Tom Sandoval is a television personality, actor, model, and businessman. There was a time when Sandoval was pushing hard in his multi-faceted career venture, but in recent years, the reality star has carved out a rather scandalous public image of himself.  

Although a multi-hyphenated star, Sandoval's career trajectory can be summed-up in a short run-through. Sandoval started his venture as a musician in the early-aughts before nabbing a spot in the Bravo television and becoming a household face in the process. Ahead is a closer look into Sandoval's roller-coaster love life.  

Inside Tom Sandoval's First-Known Relationship! 

The notorious Tom Sandoval has had his share of romances throughout his television journey and almost all of them have ended in a scandal. When Tom first emerged in the entertainment industry with his glitzy aspirations, he was dating Kristen Doute.   

Sandoval and Doute had what we believe was a thriving relationship before the couple joined Vanderpump Rules in 2013. The pair reportedly started dating in 2007 and in the Spring of 2013, they tapped in for season 1 and 2.  

It was either the reality television curse, commanding its hex on the strong couple or the latent cracks finally showing itself- whatever the case, Sandoval and Doute shortly called it quits. Of course, not without some tv-worthy scandals.  

After making their way inside the Bravo series, Doute was accused of cheating on Tom with fellow co-star, Jax Taylor, followed by reciprocated action from Tom, who allegedly fooled around with Ariana Madix. Suffice to say, the former couple had a toxic dynamic, which they brought to an end in summer 2013.  

It's over a decade since Sandoval and Doute parted ways and yet, somehow, the ghost of their past is still discussed, especially since the string of Tom's controversies. Kristen, who departed from the Bravo show in its season 8, guest-appeared in season 10 amid Tom's love triangle- also referred to as "Scandoval", and threw shade on her infamous ex.   

The Truth about Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix's Relationship!  

Doute's return on Vanderpump Rules in 2023 was a full circle moment, mainly because of how it coincided with the similar plot when she had first started; the only difference being that the table had now turned. Sandoval started dating Madix almost immediately after he and Doute broke up in 2013.   

Although the duo had denied any foul play, despite insinuating accusations, their whirlwind romance said otherwise. Sandoval and Ariana went official in early 2014 and in the years that followed, the twosome exhibited more or less a compatible dynamic.  

The co-stars-turned-lovers even published a book, Fancy AF Cocktails: Drinks Recipes from a Couple of Professional Drinkers in December 2019. From crediting each other for being their unwavering support, and buying a house together, to freezing her eggs, the only thing left in the couple's bucket list was an extravagant wedding.  

In early 2023, all of their nine-year-long efforts and arrangements for a happily-ever-after were proven to be work down the drain, or a giant life lesson if they had perceived it that way. An insider revealed that Sandoval and Madix had broken up after the latter discovered his illicit relationship with Raquel Leviss.  

"They had been having problems for a while, but this was the final straw for Ariana," the source said, adding, "She won't sit back and be disrespected this way." The aftermath of their much-publicized breakup was just as nasty, with Ariana cursing Tom on camera, and suing him over their home in LA.   

Inside Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss's Affair! 

The two of three people at the heart of Scandoval- Tom and Leviss, continued their affair after the former ended things with Ariana. Sandoval and Raquel had reportedly been hooking up since summer 2022, and to make the matter worse, Leviss had been a best friend of Madix all along.  

Both Tom and Raquel faced intense media scrutiny and backlash when their diabolical liaison became public. The couple, however, didn't cease the fun, and instead, ensued the romance for a few months before calling it quits in late 2023.  

The pair's infamous affair not only landed them in hot waters, but also unleased a series of justified repercussions. Raquel owned up to her shortcomings as a friend and got herself checked in a facility for mental counseling.  

Sandoval, on the other hand, has been going from interviews to interviews, mending what's little left of his reputation. "I think after everything, I just want people to remember I’m definitely not perfect," Tom said in a conversation earlier this year.  

Sandoval confessed to an alleged dark phase of his life in the recent Vanderpump Rules episode and even opened up to Lisa Vanderpump about "Suicidal thoughts" in the wake of Scandoval.  

Since his split from Raquel last year, the television's infamous philanderer has already sparked at least two rumored romance headlines; one time with Karlee Hale and another with Victoria Lee Robinson.
