“Vanderpump Rules” fans suspect Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ romance “is much deeper than we know” after noting the duo has been rocking matching necklaces for months.
Shortly after news broke Friday that Sandoval’s longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, had dumped him after finding out about his “full-on affair” with Leviss, scouts on social media began noticing the lightning bolts on several of the new couple’s pictures.
Sandoval, 39, continues to wear hers almost daily, while Leviss, 28, switches hers out depending on her outfit.
She was even spotted wearing the seemingly significant jewelry at BravoCon 2022 back in October, where Madix, 37, was also in attendance.
An insider told Us that Sandoval and Leviss’ romance “began last summer” and that the former beauty queen “has been sleeping over Tom and Ariana’s house since Ariana has been out of town.”
Their co-star James Kennedy confirmed the information in a direct message on Instagram sent to Deuxmoi, saying the affair began “7 months” ago, which would have been July 2022.

The 31-year-old DJ, who was previously engaged to Leviss, claimed that the couple’s escapades at Sandoval and Madix’s shared Los Angeles home sometimes took place while “Ariana (was) sleeping”.
We’re told Madix is ”devastated” after learning that her boyfriend of nearly 10 years and her close friend have been “communicating inappropriately for months” and that they now “want to be together.”
“Ariana was blindsided by the cheating,” our source explained, adding that Madix had “no idea there were any issues” in her relationship and feels “betrayed by her friend.”
We’re told she “found out” about the couple’s “full-on affair” Wednesday at Sandoval’s band’s show after a sexually explicit video of Leviss turned up on his phone.
We’re also told the illicit couple had been planning “for weeks” to confess their relationship to Madix before she found out on her own.
Madix has since deactivated her social media accounts, while Leviss has not commented on the matter.
Sandoval, for his part, issued a lengthy statement Saturday, writing in part: “I fully understand and deserve your anger and disappointment with me, but please leave (Tom) Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation.”
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Sandoval, Leviss and Madix for comment.
