Tom Sandoval Breaks His Silence On Raquel Leviss Affair

The TomTom co-owner appeared on Howie Mandel’s podcast, “Howie Mandel Does Stuff,” on Tuesday, March 11th, and revealed the flame in their sexual relationship is cooling off.

Sandoval revealed he and Leviss are still “good friends,” but “just kind of taking a break.”

He further explained, “We’re not putting any label on it.”

Mandel pried for a bit more information and asked Sandoval if there was any “friends with benefits” situation going on.

The native of St. Louis, Missouri replied, “Not right now.”

This interview marks the first time Sandoval has spoken about “Scandoval” and his months-long affair with Leviss while he was dating Ariana Madix.

The former couple were together for nearly a decade before the TV stars’ affair came to light.

Madix found out about her boyfriend’s infidelity in March after discovering an explicit video of her former best friend on his phone.

As previously mentioned, the two "VPR" co-stars aren’t putting a label on their relationship, and Leviss seemed to hint at that during a recent interview.

“We’re just kind of trying to get through these next few steps and trying to, you know, make amends, hear everybody out,” she said last week.

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

The current season of "VPR" shed some light on when their secret love affair first began and how much of a backstabber Leviss can be.

Bravo released a teaser for Wednesday’s episode and it shows Leviss making out with Sandoval’s best friend and business partner, Tom Schwartz.

Despite his ex-wife, Katie Maloney, telling Leviss NOT to make a move on Schwartz, she went ahead and did it anyways.

In the clip, Maloney gets visibly upset and Lala Kent goes off about Leviss.

“I have so much hate inside of me,” Maloney said in a confessional. “I hate them both, but I hate Tom more. Raquel, f**k her. But like Tom owes me more than this.”

“Katie did nothing to that girl for her to do something like that. She’s a disgusting swamp creature,” Lala said.

She then turned to James Kennedy, Leviss’ ex-fiancé, and said, “I’m telling you right now, your ex-fiancée is a f**king w**re.”

Later in the teaser, Leviss meets up with Sandoval, Madix, and others. The restauranteur then got up in his mistress’ face.

“She f**king made out with Schwartz!” he said before jokingly giving Schwartz’s room key to his side chick.

The season finale is reportedly slated to air on May 17th.

A three-part reunion will begin on May 24th and “Secrets Revealed” will air on June 14th, according to the Twitter account @sur_rules.
