Tom Sandoval & Raquel Leviss Aren't Labeling Relationship, But Want To 'Make It Work'

Tom Sandovaland Raquel Leviss are NOT giving up on their relationship… yet.

The newfound couple are staring adversity in the face following their explosive “Scandoval” affair.

A majority of their “Vanderpump Rules” co-stars despise them as do fans of the show, and no one is really in their “corner” when it comes to continuing their relationship.

As you may recall, Sandoval was in a committed relationship with Ariana Madix for nearly a decade, but decided to have a months-long affair with Leviss starting last summer.

From the ‘VPR’ mid-season teaser trailer, viewers learned the former couple were having problems in the bedroom, because there was a lack of sex.

“Having sex like four times a year…” he says, before a voiceover of Madix cuts in saying, “I can’t have sex with somebody who feels like a stranger.”

It also shows her skinny-dipping with a fella who IS NOT her boyfriend.

Schwartz mentions something about an open relationship, which Sandoval is rumored to have told friends before his affair with Leviss broke out.

The jury is still out on that one.

According to a new Page Six report, “Tom has been very emotional after the [‘Vanderpump Rules’] reunion.”

An inside source revealed, “He wants to make it work with Raquel, but he knows the odds are stacked against them as a couple.”

Following the reunion taping, Leviss and Sandoval grabbed dinner at Hollywood’s famous Musso and Frank restaurant.

No other cast members joined them.

An additional source revealed that the new couple “are friends, but not putting a label on anything at the moment.”

On Monday, March 27th, TMZcaught Sandoval outside of Pop Music Studios in Los Angeles and asked if he had any regrets about his affair.

“They say, ‘Time heals all wounds,’” he told the paparazzi. “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”

When pried about why ‘VPR’ fans and fellow cast members are so pissed off, Sandoval fumbled through his answer. “I just think it was really unexpected,” he admits, and isn’t wrong about that.

Furthermore, he admitted he has regrets, but in the same breath said, “Hindsight’s always 20/20, man. When you look back on a situation and think of all the things that should’ve, would’ve, could’ve done.”

Not only is his ego and heart hurting, his restaurant businesses are ALSO hurting.

The Blast recently reported on the fact that TomTom restaurant and Schwartz & Sandy’s restaurant are struggling.

“It’s tough I don’t even want to comment on that. It’s been rough,” he admitted.

The paps confirmed one last time if Sandoval thinks he made a mistake.

“Of course, of course,” he said before flicking his car keys around between his fingers and walking away.

The reunion air date is TBD, but it’s going to be one hell of a ride for viewers and cast members.

It’s been reported that things got physical between two of the ‘VPR’ staffers.
