It's unclear what caused the tension, but our insiders confirm that Sandoval and Ariana appeared to be on the outs on Valentine's Day, adding they did not appear to be the picture-perfect couple they project on Vanderpump Rules.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Ariana uncovered Sandoval's 8-month affair on Wednesday night after she found an inappropriate video of Raquel in a compromising position on his phone.

When she confronted him, Sandoval came clean and revealed he has feelings for Raquel. Insiders said he is in love with the Pump Rules beauty.

"Ariana feels completely blindsided by this. She didn’t suspect anything. Others did though," sources revealed. "This is someone [Ariana] thought she knew; someone she planned to spend the rest of her life with. You can’t even put into words that betrayal."

What's even more interesting is Sandoval's best friend-turned-business partner Tom Schwartz's association with the duo. Schwartz and Raquel caused havoc among the Vanderpump Rules group when they made out at Scheana Shay's wedding last year while he was going through a divorce with Katie Maloney.

In last week's episode, Raquel told Katie and a shocked Ariana that she propositioned Schwartz for a kiss as Sandoval sang with his cover band.

Before Friday, fans were solely focused on Raquel and Schwartz's hookup scandal — unaware of what was actually brewing with Sandoval behind the scenes. Since his affair was exposed, Sandoval's world has flipped upside down.

Fans bombarded his bar's Yelp page with rancid reviews, prompting Sandoval to break his silence and beg for haters to leave his family, friends, and business alone. He, however, failed to publically apologize to Ariana for his betrayal.
