Tom Sandoval has his new love interest. The Vanderpump Rules star revealed his new romance with Victoria Lee Robinson through Instagram Stories. The couple shared intimate moments at Schwartz & Sandys, showcasing their affection with smiles and a tender kiss on the cheek.
A source confirmed, “They’ve been hanging out and enjoying their time together.”
Robinson marks Tom Sandoval’s first relationship since he gained attention for infidelity with VPR co-star Rachel “Raquel” Leviss while dating Ariana Madix.
Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval’s nine-year relationship took a turn when Madix uncovered an explicit video of Rachel “Raquel” Leviss on Sandoval’s phone, exposing their affair. The scandal surfaced post-season 10 filming, prompting Bravo cameras to capture the aftermath.
Following the Scandoval scandal, Ariana Madix swiftly moved on with NYC-based personal trainer Daniel Wai. Meanwhile, Tom Sandoval has found companionship with Robinson. Notably, the fashion model has a history with influential figures, having been spotted at an afterparty for Justin Bieber’s Purpose tour with Leonardo DiCaprio in New York City during the summer of 2016 when she was 23.
In a recent appearance on The Viall Files podcast, the Bravolebrity expressed his desire for Ariana Madix, 38, to “move on” and “leave me behind.” Despite their separation and Madix’s apparent resentment, the ex-couple continues to share their Los Angeles home.
“I think her biggest thing is, like, stop, like, focusing on — don’t focus any energy on me,” Sandoval said of where the pair stand now. “Leave me behind,” he added.
During his podcast appearance, Sandoval expressed remorse for the unfolding saga, pledging never to repeat the same form of infidelity with his future partner as he did with Madix.
When questioned by Nick Viall about his readiness to safeguard someone’s heart post-affair fallout, Sandoval affirmed, “Yes, of course I am… I don’t know what to say except I f—ed up… It doesn’t matter the scenario, it doesn’t matter. I f—ed up, and I do know that. I do love hard, I really do.”
Reflecting further, Sandoval attributed his affair with Leviss to “low self-worth,” expressing deep regret and acknowledging, “I regret it, hardcore, I really do.”
