When Sandoval and Raquel’s relationship finally came to light in early March after months of keeping it under wraps, a report from TMZ on April 17 said the couple tried to keep their romance a secret by using fake names on their cellphones.
As the outlet explained, Sandoval, who came up with the idea, used the name “Jamie” to identify Raquel on the phone, and actually referred to Raquel as “Jamie” in front of some friends.
As for Raquel, it is not known what name is used for her.
As for Scheana and Brock’s wedding day make-up statement, Scheana’s wedding dress designer, Patrick Simpson and Pol’ Ateuappeared on Jeff Lewis‘ SiriusXM Radio show on Thursday, where Patrick claimed Sandoval and Raquel locked lips when “no one was around.”
“I got off the elevator and I saw Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss kissing to the side,” Patrik said in the April 13 episode. Jeff Lewis Livesvia Page Six, noted that while the producers were around, it’s unclear whether they noticed or not.
And because he “cannot speak [Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz] separate,” Patrik said it was difficult to confirm who he was until the relationship was discovered in March.
Pol’ then addresses Raquel’s kiss with Schwartz, saying it was “fake.”
“We know it’s fake because hello, we’re kicked out of our seats,” he said.
According to Pol’, he didn’t like Raquel because she was never “engaged” and she seemed “too removed.”
“His motives are so slanted that when you go in, you don’t see it,” he said.
