Tom Sandoval and Ariana MadixTheir relationship was allegedly in a “downward spiral” in the months leading up to the shock of his relationship with her. Rachel Lewis.
According to a new report, the Vanderpump Rules couples experience intimacy problems before their separation. And while that never happened, Sandoval, who is now in a relationship with Raquel, allegedly “tried to break up with Ariana before.”
“They haven’t been intimate for a long time. There was a point where they stopped having sex,” a source told The US Sun. “Tom and Ariana’s relationship isn’t perfect. They’ve been having problems for the past few months.
“Everyone will see how things turn out on the show,” the source added.
Since the news of his relationship with Raquel has been reported for months, Sandoval and Ariana have continued to live together in their $2 million home in the Village Village area of Los Angeles.
“Tom is not out yet. They’re thinking about it and who gets what,” the insider said.
As Ariana remains “sad” and continues to “support her friends,” the same cannot be said for Raquel. In fact, after a massive falling out with Scheana Shaythat Raquel filed a restraining order against him after he was accused of assaulting her after learning of her relationship with Sandoval, Scheana “doesn’t want anything to do with Raquel.”
“Their friendship is over. He 100 percent stands by Ariana. Scheana feels betrayed and can’t believe that Raquel has crossed that line,” the source said.
Amidst the drama on Tuesday, Sandoval was seen in a building in Los Angeles that houses the offices of many therapists and psychotherapists. However, when TMZ confirmed that Sandoval was there for a two-hour session with a therapist, they noted that Sandoval had been seeing a therapist long before the scandal broke.

As Sandoval and Raquel allegedly continue with their apparent romance, sources have confirmed that there is no hope for reconciliation between him and Ariana.
“Tom and Ariana have told friends that it’s over and they’re not getting back together,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight on March 7. “Ariana has no plans to get back with Tom after what she did and Tom is ready to move on. Ariana is devastated and feels betrayed, something she won’t be able to get over for a long time.”
As Ariana struggles to cope with Sandoval’s betrayal, Sandoval has no doubt to reunite with Raquel, paying her a visit there.
“Tom and Raquel are filming a scene for Vanderpump Rules,” a source explained about the visit. “It wasn’t a late-night hookup or more than doing work. The call time was 6:00 p.m. and that’s when Tom arrived at Raquel’s apartment for filming.
“This has been going on for over six months,” the source added of the rumored relationship. “Meanwhile, Tom was sleeping next to Ariana on the bed.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
