Ever since it was revealed that Sandoval and Raquel had been cheating behind their longtime girlfriend and close friend, Bravo’s cameras have been rolling to capture not only what happened between Sandoval and Ariana, but also the reactions of their friends.
And in addition to filming with Raquel, Sandoval is also believed to have filmed with Ariana, who the representative confirmed he is still living with – although photos show him leaving the property with suitcases.
When Bravo wraps up the scandal, billed as “Scandoval,” for season 10, which premiered last month, Sandoval and Raquel will consider their future together.
“Tom and Raquel are the real deal,” a source told Us Weekly in its latest issue.
According to the insider, Sandoval and Raquel’s rumored romance was not a “regrettable fling or a one-night stand.” However, they continue, the couple has “confided to their friends that it is love and they fall hard for each other” and are planning to make their relationship official.
“There’s no excuse for what he’s doing and it’s hurting people, but he’s looking at a long future,” the source said. “Only time will tell if that bond can be revived.”
The source went on to say that fans will see how the dynamic between the couple unfolds as season 10 continues.
“The cameras haven’t stopped rolling since Wednesday night. It’s not an understatement to say this will be the most explosive season Vanderpump Rules never,” the insider teased.
As Pump Rules fans have also seen, Sandoval issued a public apology on his Instagram page but failed to mention Ariana in the post.
“Hey, I understand and deserve your anger and disappointment towards me, but please go away [Tom Schwartz], friends, and family out of this situation … Schwartz specifically only found out about this very recently and most certainly does not condone my actions. This is a very personal thing,” he wrote. “Also, Schwartz & Sandy’s may have my name on it, but there are also 3 other partners and 20 employees, who primarily depend on the restaurant for income for them and their families. Like TomTom, I am a small part of something bigger. Please direct your anger at me and not him. He did nothing wrong.
“I am sorry that my partners, Greg, Brett, and Schwartz, and employees had to suffer because of my actions,” Sandoval added. “I’m going to step back and take a break out of respect for my employees and partners. I need some time to deal with everything else. I’m sorry for everything.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
