Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>\u00a0star\u00a0Katie Malon<\/strong>ey<\/strong><\/a> thinks\u00a0Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a> should give a real romance a go after their affair<\/a> cased the end of nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI still think maybe they should give it a shot because they\u2019ve blown up their lives. May as well,\u201d Katie, 36, revealed during a Wednesday, May 10, appearance on Watch What Happens Live<\/em>. It aired directly after the season 10 penultimate VPR<\/em> episode where more clues pointed to Tom and Raquel being secretly involved.<\/p>\n Katie said that she didn\u2019t \u201cknow what they\u2019re doing\u201d as far as where Tom and Raquel currently stand. The TomTom club owner is still seemingly living under the same roof as Ariana in their Valley Village, California, home they purchased together despite splitting in early March.<\/p>\n \u201cTom and Ariana bought the $2 million home in 2019 when everything was going well in their relationship, and now it\u2019s all gone to hell<\/a>,\u201d an insider previously told Life & Style<\/em> exclusively. \u201cEven though they avoided each other, being under the same roof was like living in a nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAriana hates the thought of Tom and Raquel\u00a0hooking up in various rooms<\/a>. The house had great memories, she loved living there, but he and Raquel ruined that for her,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n The aspiring sandwich shop owner discovered Tom was having an affair on March 1, when she found flirtatious messages from Raquel<\/a> on his phone while he was on stage performing with his band Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras. Two days later, the couple split<\/a>.<\/p>\n During an appearance on WWHL<\/em> in March after the affair was exposed, Katie hinted that Tom and Raquel should embark on a romance, quipping, \u201cAt this point, they better fall in love because who\u2019s going to date them?\u201d<\/p>\n On the May 10 episode of\u00a0VPR<\/em> that was filmed before the affair news broke, Raquel had a cringeworthy conversation with Ariana about whether or not she was still sexually attracted to Tom, and asked why they didn\u2019t have sex very often.<\/p>\n The episode would have been the season finale if it wasn\u2019t for \u201cScandoval\u201d and their cheating later being uncovered. Cameras went back and recorded the aftermath of Tom confessing his affair to Ariana<\/a> and the explosive fight that ensued, as well as him breaking the news to their friend circle that he\u2019d been unfaithful to Ariana with Raquel.<\/p>\n
