In March of this year, it became known that two profiles of the American reality show “Vanderpump Rules” had a secret relationship.
Reality star Tom Sandoval, 41, has been unfaithful to long-term partner and co-star Ariana Madix, 37, with the couple’s mutual friend, Raquel Leves, 28.
The adultery scandal quickly garnered a lot of attention, both in social media and the press. On social media, the case was making headlines “#scandal”.
For fans, it all came as quite a shock, since Sandoval and Madix had been lovers and cohabited for nine years — as long as they were part of the show. Leviss is also part of the cast, but joined in 2018.
