'Vanderpump Rules' Star Tom Sandoval Confirms He’s Single After Affair

Tom Sandoval is giving an update on his love life following his very public love triangle.

The Vanderpump Rules star, 40, confirmed he’s single in an interview with Extra at the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2023 in Las Vegas. “I am single, yes,” he said at the event.

As for how he’s getting back out there, Sandoval said dating is “awkward as it is.”

“It’s just weird,” he said. “It feels like a job interview, I don’t usually like to go on dates unless I know them already. I would rather hang out with them and like their friends, see who they surround themselves with … see how they act when they get drunk, then later go out on dates.”

“We have mutual friends, obviously, on the same show together, so we have to coexist,” he said of Madix. “It’s gonna be a slow process. We will handle it the best we can.”

Fans were introduced to the staff […]

As for if the pair will still be living together a year from now, Sandoval replied, “Probably, yeah.”

Leviss, 29, checked herself into a mental health treatment facility amid the scandal in April. She went on to block Sandoval on Instagram hours after he sent her a public birthday message on September 12. Sandoval, for his part, called Leviss’ move “petty.”

“I think the power move is to mute people,” he said. “That way, it’s not like a thing … She posted on her Story … Doesn’t that seem petty? When you go away to a place where you are supposed to be working on yourself, bettering yourself, doesn’t that seem sort of like a step backwards?”
