Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Sandoval’s Mom Allegedly “Knew About Affair” And Met Raquel Leviss In January

The Scandoval saga is getting more complex. As it turns out, Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ trysts were more well-known than originally thought. Allegedly, his mother knew about the affair months ago. She may not have approved of her son’s actions, but she was aware.

Page Six reported that Sandoval reportedly brought his illicit lover to his hometown twice in the months before news of their affair broke. Raquel visited St. Louis, Missouri a few weeks apart in the winter. This seems to coincide with the timing of Sandoval telling Tom Schwartz he loved Raquel.

Terri Green and the Vanderpump Rules star’s first meeting was unplanned, perTMZ. In January 2023, Sandoval and Raquel were forced to take refuge with their group at Terri’s house after a winter storm warning closed the bar where they were hanging out. The duo spent the night and even shared the same bedroom.

TMZ previously reported that Raquel was in St. Louis a month prior, but Terri had “no interest” in meeting her. When the two did finally meet, Sandoval’s mother was allegedly “cordial” but “wasn’t cool with their situation.”

Raquel was not introduced as his girlfriend. Yet Sandoval did say he attempted to break up with Ariana Madix before the December trip.

TMZ reporters caught up with Sandoval earlier this week. Meanwhile, Ariana had a blast at Coachella. And even found a new man to hook up with. Sandoval applauded the news.

The outlet reported that the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner wanted the public to stop reacting to his affair with Raquel. Miraval Resorts and Spas took some heat from the VPR star for alleging that he booked at one of their locations in Arizona. With his lover checked in at a mental health facility, some questioned whether Sandoval planned to meet up with her there. Although others claimed Raquel is not at a mental health facility, but rather at a luxury wellness spa.

Reps for Raquel and Tom have yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
