Tom Sandoval is still in love with Ariana Madix

In his candid chat with Howie Mandel, Tom Sandoval admitted that he broke up with Ariana on Valentine’s Day. He claims they were already over before she found out that he cheated on her with Raquel. Sandoval shared the details of their split and his cheating scandal. He admitted that he’s still in love with his ex-girlfriend.

“I still love Ariana, and I care about her very much,” Tom Sandoval told Howie Mandel and his daughter Jackelyn Shultz. “But we, for a while, had sort of just having our own lives.”

The 40-year-old claims that they grew apart over the years. The former couple rarely had intimacy in the bedroom. Sandoval shared that the “communication was not great” and they “kept growing apart.” There were times when he had no idea where she was in the world.

Tom Sandoval kind of hinted at a mid-life crisis. He admitted that he needed to “feel alive again, to feel motivated, to feel optimistic.” During that time, Sandoval distanced himself from Ariana and grew closer to Raquel. He kissed the former pageant queen just days after boys’ night and their bedroom romp took place before Scheana Shay’s wedding.

Status of his relationship with Raquel Leviss

The aspiring musician talked about his first kiss with Raquel Leviss. One night, they stayed up late until the early morning hours. The two kissed in the backyard, in the home that Tom Sandoval still shares with Ariana. He called the 28-year-old “magnetic.”

However, he claims that “it wasn’t just a kiss” that happened. Things got hot and heavy between them. Sandoval admitted that he wasn’t thinking at the moment. He went to therapy to figure out what was going on with him.

“The feelings that were something very, very strong,” Tom Sandoval continued. “Those feelings that I had to take over in a sense. Logic, all that sh*t went out the window. Our connection was healthy, but the environment that it created — the lying, the sneaking around — was very unhealthy.”

The Stryx collaborator revealed that he became obsessed with Raquel. There were times when he found himself “sneaking around” and trying to meet up with her somewhere. As for where Sandoval stands with Raquel now, he says they’re “just kind of taking a break” and “not putting a label on it.” There are also no current physical benefits to their friendship.
