Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were able to carry on with their affair for nearly a year before getting caught.
Sources close to the stars of Vanderpump Rules exclusively spilled to Radar that the pair has been flirting behind Ariana Madix's back for at least 8 months.
"While no-one fully knew it at the time, the first signs that something fishy was happening emerged in July of last year," the source dished of the shocking affair. "Ariana feels completely blindsided by this. She didn’t suspect anything. Others did though."
"This is someone [Ariana] thought she knew; someone she planned to spend the rest of her life with," the source continued. "You can’t even put into words that betrayal."
Sandoval and Madix — who had been dating for nine years prior to their split — have been fan favorites of the Bravo show ever since they joined the program in its very first season back in 2013.
