There was a spark! Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss “aren’t dating” after hooking up at pal Scheana Shay’s wedding in August, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“They’re just friends but have certainly gotten much closer since Tom and Katie [Maloney] split,” the insider says. “They have a great connection, and the chemistry is there.”
Despite hitting it off in Mexico while celebrating Shay, 37, and husband Brock Davies, the Bravo personalities aren’t an item, per the source.
“Since the hookup happened, they kind of went their separate ways and just hang out together with friends,” the insider tells Us. “They’re both keeping their options open.”
The former pageant queen, 28, for her part, is “going on more dates” than the TomTom cofounder, 40, the source explains, pointing out that Schwartz “isn’t really dating.”
The Minnesota native has been “taking things slow” in the romance department following his March split from Maloney, 35, the insider says. “[Tom] is focused on other things such as his new restaurant. He’s been leaning on his friends especially [Tom] Sandoval.”
Us confirmed in August that Schwartz and Leviss “made out” after some “heavy drinking” with a source adding that they “heard through the grapevine” that “more happened” while they were in Cancun, Mexico, for Shay’s nuptials.
The hookup came just months after the Schwartz & Sandy co-owner announced that he and Maloney had separated after more than 10 years together. Schwartz’s divorce was finalized on October 12.
Leviss, meanwhile, was coming off a breakup with James Kennedy. The California native confirmed her split in December 2021, revealing at the time that the pair had called off their engagement after seven months.
