Fans of “Vanderpump Rules” are convinced that Tom Sandoval grabbed Rachel Leviss’ butt in Wednesday’s episode, right after she kissed Tom Schwartz. Several viewers flocked to Twitter to accuse Sandoval of sneakily grabbing Leviss’ caboose as soon as his now-ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix looked away. Leviss, 28, proceeded to giggle, and some fans believe she may have even swatted 40-year-old Sandoval’s hand away.
The flirty moment occurred in August 2022, moments after Leviss played tonsil hockey with Sandoval’s best friend, Schwartz, 40. This scene all but confirms Page Six’s exclusive report that Sandoval had been cheating on Madix, 37, since last summer. An insider told us last month when the cheating scandal first made headlines that the lovers’ dalliance began around July 2022 and that Leviss “has slept over Tom and Ariana’s house when Ariana’s been out of town.”
Schwartz has since admitted that he knew about the secret lovers since the same month as Shay’s wedding. When Andy Cohen pressed Schwartz on why he didn’t tell Madix about Sandoval’s indiscretions, he claimed he thought the couple had already split. However, we heard Madix had been in the dark and only found out about her longtime beau’s infidelity when she discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone on March 1. The “Buying Back My Daughter” actress swiftly dumped her boyfriend of nearly 10 years upon discovering the months-long affair.
As for Sandoval’s current relationship status, he and Leviss are apparently on a break despite the duo repeatedly being spotted together.
