Tom Sandoval's Confession: Cheating 'Vanderpump Rules' Star Says He's 'In Love' With Raquel Leviss After Cheating On Ariana Madix For 8 Months
Fans of Vanderpump Rules were shocked by the news that Tom Sandoval and longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix had parted ways following the musician's 8-month affair with costar Raquel Leviss, which hit headlines on Friday, March 3.
Now, a source close to the production exclusively told Radar the reality star is not even going to try to win Madix back.
"He told her everything," the source explained. "It would be easy for him to tell her it meant nothing, but the fact the romance has been going on for eight months isn’t something he can squirm out of."
“When Ariana really questioned him, Tom confessed he’s in love with Raquel," the source added. "He told her, ‘Yes, I have feelings for her.'"
A source previously spilled Madix was left shell-shocked by Sandoval's confession, claiming he was someone "she thought she knew" and the man "she planned to spend the rest of her life with. You can't even put into words that betrayal."
A friend of the TV personality also added, "Ariana feels completely blindsided by this. She didn’t suspect anything."
