Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have claimed they are taking a “break” from their romance, which began last summer amid Sandoval’s nearly 10-year relationship with Ariana Madix. But according to a new report, that doesn’t seem to be true.
As rumors swirl in regard to what’s really going on between the Vanderpump Rules stars, with one particular claim suggesting they were recently seen together at a pizza joint in West Hollywood, Sandoval has presented a paparazzo named Josh with a personalized bracelet.
“Made a bracelet for paparazzi guy,” Sandoval wrote in the caption of a video of himself presenting the man with the jewelry.
And around the same time, Josh thanked him with a post of his own that included a close-up of the item.
“Preciate the bracelet my guy!! And they put my name on it,” he shared.
As for Sandoval’s alleged outing with Raquel, who has been believed to be in a treatment facility for mental health since last month, that news was shared via Reddit.
“Spotted! Scandoval and Rachel spotted outside B-side pizza last night around [11: 30 p.m.]. He was closing her door – they were both getting into a white BMW. The vibe was not a happy one,” a Redditor posted on a Pump Rules thread, via Bravo Snark Side on Instagram.
“I thought I saw that they were taking a break from each other? Also, Hotel Ziggy is right behind B-side pizza,” they added.
During an interview with TMZ in late March, Raquel was asked about the status of her relationship with Sandoval.
“I don’t know where our relationship is gonna be,” she admitted. “We’re just trying to get through these next few steps and try to make amends, hear everybody out. I know a lot of people are angry so I think just getting through these next few steps and seeing where it goes. We’re not putting a label on anything. We’re just kinda taking a break for now.”
Then, weeks later, while appearing on Howie Mandel‘s podcast, Howie Mandel Does Stuff, Sandoval also said they were taking time off from their romance.
“We’re really good friends, we’re not putting any label on it. We’re also taking a break.”
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
