Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix appeared as guests on the January 1 episode of Scheana Shay's podcast, "Scheananigans," where they discussed where their relationship stands amid the coronavirus pandemic.

While chatting about the challenges he faced amid the ongoing quarantine in Los Angeles, Tom, who has been a full-time cast member on "Vanderpump Rules" since the series began in 2013, said that when it came to his relationship with Ariana, the two of them were in a great place as they celebrated their seven-year anniversary.

“Ariana and I, we’ve been together for seven years. And dumplin, I gotta say, I still love you. I love you more than I loved you when I first met you," Tom explained to his girlfriend on the podcast. 

According to Tom, he never believed he could love anyone like he does Ariana.

"It’s such an experience I never thought I could ever experience and during this time, I feel like we’ve both pushed each other and it’s been such a positive thing," he explained.

"I know I can be annoying but I do that on purpose half the time," he continued. 

As Tom pointed out, a lot of people have experienced negativity in their relationships amid the quarantine but he and Ariana have done a great job of communicating through their challenges. 

"People have been around each other more this year and I feel like people’s relationships have gone up and down in certain ways. There’s such a deep underlying love where we have this deep respect. I don’t talk to Ariana like… We work it out. We love each other,” he explained.

While Tom and Ariana did great within their relationship during the closures throughout Los Angeles, they definitely drank more than they are used to.

When asked about something negative he experienced in 2020, Tom said that he definitely increased his alcohol intake as he and Ariana remained confined to their Valley Village home.

“As far as bad things go, I drank a shitload of alcohol, tons of alcohol. We drank more this year than I have drank in two years. We weren’t even filming Vanderpump Rules!” he stated.

As for the thoughts of Ariana, she appeared to be on the same page with Tom in terms of their communication during quarantine. 

“We’ve had ups and downs too, like growing pains, but we’ve come out better because we’ve talked through them,” she shared.

While a start date for production on the potentially upcoming ninth season of "Vanderpump Rules" has not yet been confirmed, there does not appear to be any reason to think the series will be canceled after season eight.
