Vanderpump Rules alums Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval are on better terms after the Scandoval saga put a damper on the former SUR staff’s friend group.
The Valley season 3 star was a guest on The Viall Files podcast and dished on the Toms’ friendship and business ventures.
Tom x 2:
“I’m completely starting my life over. My old life is gone. TomTom’s for sale, Schwartz and Sandy’s is for sale, I’m not going to be a bootleg Lisa Vanderpump, which was the goal,” he said of his restaurants with Sandoval, which opened in 2018.
Schwartz continued, “I actually had a really good conversation with Sandoval yesterday. I talked to him for like an hour, FaceTimed him, and he’s just doing so well right now. It was nice; he sounded so good and optimistic.”
When asked if he feels like “there’s been distance created” in his longtime friendship with Sandoval, Schwartz was clear in his response. “Yes.”
“We took a long break from each other. I mean, S&S, that almost destroyed our friendship,” he said, referring to the backlash Schwartz & Sandy’s received after Scandoval. “Listen, it’s water under the bridge now,” Schwartz added. “I have no lingering resentment.”
Schwartz’s new gf:
ICYMI, Tom is dating Kiana Carroll, whom he gushed about on the pod. “It’s love,” he said of his new relationship. “I’m in love again — like, head-over-heels in love again. I call her Kiki. She’s devastatingly gorgeous, like, way out of my league. In a sea of green flags, I’m the only red flag. Why would you date me?”
Schwartz added that within the past “six or seven months,” their relationship has “blossomed into a beautiful thing.”
“Not to brag, but she is a model. But that’s the least interesting thing about her,” he praised. “She’s ferociously funny, she’s traveled the world, independent, super successful.”
Schwartz also referred to his gf as his “karma” for his “past relationships.” (JUSTICE FOR KATIE MALONEY, btw)
