“Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Sandoval discussed his feelings about Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
During an appearance on the December 7 episode of Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge‘s podcast ‘Two Ts In A Pod,” alongside his friend and castmate Tom Schwartz, Sandoval stated that he wanted to continue his romance with Leviss following their March 2023 cheating scandal. As fans are aware, the pair were romantically involved while Sandoval was still dating his now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, during the production of “Vanderpump Rules” season 10.
Sandoval stated that he “fought so hard for Rachel” while she was in the treatment center, The Meadows, to work on her mental health after the “Vanderpump Rules” season 10 reunion. The Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras singer also stated that he has refrained from drinking alcohol and “stopped smoking cigarettes” to be supportive of Leviss.
“She went away to a facility. I’m like, ‘She can’t drink. She can’t smoke. I’m going to quit.’ I have never quit smoking in like — I’ve been able to do it. I haven’t gone this long without drinking since I was 16. And it’s been eight months. I stopped for her. And I was there in any way that she needed me,” said Sandoval.
Sandoval also stated that he was upset when Leviss ceased communicating with him, as they were “best friends.” In addition, he said he “was fully in love with her” and finds the situation “heartbreaking.”
“This is not just some hot girl. Come on. I was a model for, like, 15 years. It’s deeper than that. It’s more than that,” said Sandoval.
