Tom Sandoval has finally opened up about his breakup with his longtime partner Ariana Madix- which came at the same time as news of his affair with Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss.
On the recent episode of the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Sandoval claimed that he had broken up with Madix around a couple of weeks before his affair with Leviss came before the public. He told Howie Mandel that he had already broken up with her several weeks before. And he had asked her to not post anything on social media, as they could have a discussion like mature adults. He went on to add that they were on hold for quite some time, and it would have been better if their breakup was kept between both of them. This would allow them to navigate in a way that would help them both.

A source close to the actor went on to dispute the claims made by Sandoval- claiming that they were together when the news had first broken into the media. During this conversation, Sandoval came to realize that Madix was in complete denial of the breakup. In fact, he was quite unsure about how he should be moving forward.
