In the know? Weeks before news broke of Tom Sandoval‘s affair, Tom Schwartz claimed he was encouraged by his business partner to pursue Raquel Leviss.
“I’m guilty by association,” Schwartz, 40, joked to ET Canada in February about his onscreen kiss with Leviss, 28, in season 10 of Vanderpump Rules. “Oh my God. [Sandoval] made me do it. I didn’t want to do it. He’s like, ‘If you don’t do it, you’re a wussy.’ He steamrolled me.”
Sandoval, 39, for his part, publicly showed his support for a potential connection between Schwartz and Leviss. “I was stoked [about their kiss]. I thought it was fun,” he added at the time. “They went behind this little greenery wall and I went and cracked two beers and handed it to them.”
Before filming kicked off on season 10, Katie Maloney and the Minnesota native announced their decision to part ways. As cameras started rolling, Us Weekly confirmed in August 2022 that Schwartz hooked up with the beauty pageant contestant at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies‘ wedding.
Ahead of the hit Bravo show’s return, Schwartz noted that he stood by his brief romance with Leviss. “In the moment, there was momentary passion in the air. I kind of disappeared into that kiss, I’ll be honest. It was kind of a transformative moment,” he exclusively told Us in February. “In terms of any long-term romance with me and Raquel, I don’t know how much chemistry is there.”
The TomTom co-owner added: “I’m glad to know her closer as a friend and I really appreciate her now and I see her in a whole different light. Not because of the kiss, but just getting to know her on a deeper level as a human being. She’s so cool and I never really got to that point with her.”
