Jax Taylor will be seen questioning his former best friend, Tom Sandoval about his years-long romance with girlfriend Ariana Madix on tonight's new episode of the eighth season of Vanderpump Rules.
In a sneak peek at the upcoming episode, Taylor and Sandoval are seen shopping for tennis shoes at a store in Los Angeles when Taylor seemingly suggests that Sandoval has more going on in his relationship than he's admitted to.
"I don't know what goes on behind closed doors at your house," Taylor says.

"You're fine? You're happy?" Taylor asks Sandoval.
"Yeah! We're great," Sandoval replies.
But Taylor isn't convinced and wonders, "Really?"
"Dude, we've been better than ever, man," Sandoval insists.
As fans learned during an earlier episode of Vanderpump Rules season eight, Sandoval and Madix purchased their first home together in early 2019 and debuted the stunning property, which is located in the Valley Village area of L.A. on premiere episode of the series in January.
Around the same time, Taylor and wife Brittany Cartwright purchased a very similar home in the same neighborhood.

According to Taylor, he believes that Sandoval has been treated poorly by Madix.
"I see sometimes she gives you some back-handed comments. I've noticed that," he tells his co-star.
"That's some sort of exaggeration or miscommunication. We don't really name call," Sandoval shares.
While Sandoval is clearly trying to shut down the conversation, Taylor isn't on board and continues to question Sandoval about the way he and Madix, who began dating during the third season of Vanderpump Rules, have been treating one another.

"You've never said, 'Man, you're being a b***h right now?'" Taylor asks.
"I've never really said that," Sandoval responds.
After hearing his former friend continuously shut down his inquiries in regard to his relationship with Madix, Taylor made it clear that he is not a fan of Madix's behavior and believe she can be a "b***h" at times.
"I thought she was being a b***h many, many times," Taylor told Sandoval.
Throughout the discussion, Sandoval refused to go down the path of potentially talking ill of Madix on camera.

Following a decade of friendship, Taylor and Sandoval cut ties with one another last year amid production on Vanderpump Rules season eight and have kept their distance, aside from a few group events, ever since. Meanwhile, Sandoval and Madix appear to be going strong as they remain in quarantine in Los Angeles.
To see more of Taylor, Sandoval, Madix, and their co-stars, don't miss new episodes of the eighth season of Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
