All a ruse? Tom Schwartz asked Tom Sandoval to help him figure out his lack of chemistry with Raquel Leviss — while his business partner was having a secret affair with her.
In a clip from next week’s episode shared by Bravo on Friday, April 21, Schwartz, 40, discussed the aftermath of his hookup with Raquel, 28.
“By the way, I had a conversation with Raquel. We did not makeout,” the Minnesota native, who shared a steamy moment with the model ahead of Scheana Shay and Brock Davies‘ August 2022 nuptials, told Sandoval, 40. “I have so much more of an appreciation for Raquel, but I just don’t know why I am not more attracted to her.”
The Fancy AF Cocktails co-author, who was dating Ariana Madix at the time, referred to Raquel as “dope” while reassuring his friend that he didn’t “have to be” interested in the SUR waitress.
Schwartz, who called it quits with Katie Maloney in March 2022, noted that something felt off since he locked lips with the former beauty pageant contestant, adding, “There’s no sexual chemistry. I have this gut feeling that she kind of has a crush on someone else. That’s just it.”

Season 10 largely focused on Schwartz and Raquel’s connection before Us Weekly confirmed her offscreen affair with Sandoval. As news broke in March that the TomTom co-owner had been unfaithful to Ariana, 37, the couple called it quits after nearly a decade of dating.
The California native issued a public apology to Ariana at the time, writing via Instagram, “I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting
