Despite splitting up, Schwartz and Maloney are still on good terms. It’s likely for that reason that they didn’t make things awkward at Schroeder’s wedding.

Bravoholics did a deep dive into Everett and discovered she’s a mutual friend of both Tom and Katie. Heavy reported fan speculation that Schwartz met up with the friend during a layover on the flight home from Italy.
