Tom Sandoval split

On Friday, TMZ broke the news that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix ended their almost 10-year relationship. She dumped him when she found out that he had a months-long affair with Raquel Leviss. Ariana had no idea that this was happening behind her back and under the roof they shared. Sandoval performed with his cover band the same night that the news broke.

“Ariana was completely blindsided by the cheating news this week. She had no idea. Completely no idea,” an insider told The U.S. Sun. “No one in the friend group knew. Raquel has been hanging out with the Tom’s more but everyone just thought she was hooking up with Schwartz.”

The insider said that no one in the cast had any idea that Raquel was hooking up with Sandoval. Ariana Madix found out Wednesday night when she attended his show. She was there to support his new single. Sandoval dropped his phone and she saw a suggestive video from Raquel on it.

“She immediately confronted Tom and made it clear she wouldn’t tolerate that and made the decision they were done almost immediately,” the source explained. “Ariana is devastated and in a total state of shock. Tom is arrogant and still thinks she’ll come back to him.”
