The cast of the Vanderpump Rules offered a glimpse at Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss shocking dynamics after the pair grew close while filming the tenth season of the show.
After more than a decade, before cameras began rolling, Tom and Katie Maloney announced their separation and they said that –
“Well this sucks,” he wrote via Instagram in March 2022. “I’m not the victim. Not gonna write too sad a song. Fully respect Katie’s decision and we’ve had healthy, productive conversations about it. It would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me whilst not happy.”
Tom is a native from Minnesota and he admitted a huge change in his life after break up with Katie and said that –
“How am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f–king canned Instagram caption. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word [because] it’s too painful,” he continued. “We had some of the most blissful, romantic, fun times humanly possible over the course of our relationship. I’m talking heaven on earth level joy. She taught me so much about love & being a better partner.”
What Was the Previous Relationship of Tom?
Katie for her part, disclosed that, her decision of separation came after Raquel called off her engagement to James Kennedy.
When they announced at the reunion that they had broken it up — it was a bit empowering because when you’re trying to figure out what to do and you see other people be strong and their convictions like that, you’re like, ‘All right, I can do it, I can do it,’” she exclusively told Us Weekly in April.
At the same month , katie’s podcast were joined by the former beauty pageant contestant for discussing a healing process and she said that –
“It was a processing thing. Like realizing, ‘Is this really the relationship for me?’ Coming to terms with it and taking the steps mentally to prepare to leave a relationship that is no longer serving you in ways that you need a relationship to be,” Raquel shared on an episode of the “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast.
“I think when you see other people leave relationships that aren’t for them anymore, it is inspiring. And I think deep down inside if you get that feeling, then you should trust your gut and go with it. Do what you need to know mentally to prepare, but also don’t string that person along if they are not the person for you.”

James later weighed in on Raquel’s dating life, telling Us at BravoCon, “It was weird. But honestly, I’m living my life, and everyone gets to live theirs.
