Tom Sandoval talk about his relationship with Rachel Lewis while visiting Pop Music Studios in the San Fernando Valley on Saturday.
The day after the shooting Vanderpump Rules The reunion, where he and Raquel were allegedly “dumped” by their friends, all the same as Sandoval’s ex-girlfriend of almost ten years, Ariana MadixSandoval admitted to regretting how he handled the situation.
“Hindsight is always 20/20, man,” Sandoval told TMZ on March 27. “Hindsight is always 20/20.”
“When you look back at the situation, you think everything that should have been done, of course, could have been done to deal with it better,” he said. “I can solve problems better.”
Then, after saying that he “definitely” regrets cheating on Ariana, Sandoval said that he believed that he took more heat for his relationship with Raquel because no one saw it coming.
“I just thought it was really unexpected,” he said.
According to Sandoval, he’s doing “good” and “just uh, alive” after recording the reunion last week — and is focusing on music as well as the upcoming tour dates.
“We have a bunch of tour dates coming up,” he said, adding that he’s “not recording” right now because he has “a lot of other things going on.”
And, as Pump Rules fans also know, one particular item on Sandoval’s mind is his new bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, which opened last month with Tom Schwartz.
“It’s hard people. I honestly don’t want to comment, but yeah, it’s really hard,” Sandoval said of his relationship with Raquel affecting his business.
“They say time heals all wounds,” he continued, “so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.”
As for the recently taped reunion, Sandoval described his face-to-face with his teammates as “exciting.”
“You’ll have to wait and see,” he teased, confirming that it was “crazy.”
Also during the conversation, Sandoval was asked how Ariana started cheating, and how Raquel is doing. However, instead of revealing any news, Sandoval, who was spotted dining with Raquel after the reunion, refused to comment on the topic.
“I can’t talk about that, man,” he said.
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
