Tom Schwartz<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s love life \u2014 especially his romance with Jo Wenberg<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 has intrigued Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> viewers since his split from Katie Maloney<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Schwartz and Maloney announced their split in March 2022, months before filming<\/a> season 10. Schwartz later surprised Bravo fans when he hooked up with Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a> at Scheana Shay<\/strong><\/a> and Brock Davies<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 wedding in August 2023 \u2014 five months after Maloney filed for divorce.<\/p>\n After news broke in March 2023 that Leviss was having an affair with Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a>, fans and cast members alike wondered if Schwartz was a front for the infidelity<\/a>. Maloney specifically pointed to a trip Sandoval and Leviss took with Schwartz and Wenberg as potential proof.<\/p>\n Schwartz, for his part, denied that he kissed Leviss to throw attention off<\/a> her secret romance with Sandoval. He also defended his connection with Wenberg<\/a>, which seemingly developed after his makeout session with Leviss.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, [Jo] wasn\u2019t [my girlfriend]. Especially not at that point. It did evolve into a situationship or a friends with benefits thing with clearly defined boundaries,\u201d Schwartz said during part 1 of the season 10 reunion, which aired in May 2023. \u201cWe were both coming out of long-term relationships and for a minute there we were each other\u2019s happy places.\u201d<\/p>\n Scroll on for a full breakdown of Schwartz and Wenberg\u2019s relationship timeline:<\/p>\n Schwartz and Wenberg sparked romance rumors after Instagram footage surfaced of the duo at a concert.<\/p>\n During an episode of Vanderpump Rules<\/em>, Schwartz revealed to Shay that Wenberg was staying with him. \u201c[I haven\u2019t hooked up with Jo]. Not even a little bit. Not even a micro moment. Jo\u2019s my girl,\u201d he said in a scene that was filmed in July 2022.<\/p>\n That same month, the TomTom cofounder elaborated on his connection with Wenberg.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cJo is a badass hairstylist. I think she\u2019s a beautiful soul,\u201d he exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re not living together and we\u2019re not dating either, but she\u2019s just someone who I appreciate on a deep level and she\u2019s a really cool human being, and we\u2019re just hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, Schwartz admitted he wasn\u2019t ready for anything serious yet<\/a>, adding, \u201cI just got out of a 12-year relationship. I cannot be in a committed \u2014 I can\u2019t dive back into another relationship. It wouldn\u2019t be fair to the other person \u2018cause I\u2019m kind of consumed with, like, business and my family and I\u2019m kind of falling in love with myself all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n Unaired footage from season 10 of Vanderpump Rules offered a glimpse at how Maloney found out about Schwartz living with Wenberg.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI went to Tom\u2019s today to bring the dogs there and in the bathroom, there\u2019s a toothbrush with lipstick on it and a pile of jewelry. Like, that the f\u2014k is this s\u2014t? He\u2019s like, \u2018It\u2019s Jo\u2019s,’\u201d she told Lala Kent<\/strong><\/a> and Leviss during a Never Before Seen edition of the hit Bravo series. \u201cFirst of all, Kristen [Doute\u2019s]<\/strong><\/a> her best f\u2014king friend. Why isn\u2019t she staying at Kristen\u2019s down the street?\u201d<\/p>\n One month later, Maloney took to social media to throw shade at Wenberg<\/a>. \u201cJo is spooky. I mean none of us could stand to be around her. Her energy is on par with a crackhead,\u201d she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. \u201cBut when Tom and I announced our divorce almost a year ago the last thing she text[ed] me was, \u2018I love you, and I\u2019m so supporting of your inner thoughts and visions \/ live in the moment, you\u2019re a gem and I\u2019ve always respected you. I love you. Xo Jo.\u2019 She is a psycho and I will also light her on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n More unseen footage showed Schwartz discussing his then-roommate. \u201cI think I have a little bit of a crush on her, but I am going to suppress that because I just got out of a 12-year relationship, and I don\u2019t want to make things awkward. So yeah, no one will ever know that except for the entire nation,\u201d he told cameras.<\/p>\n Schwartz came to Wenberg\u2019s defense while addressing Maloney\u2019s comments about the hairstylist at the Vanderpump Rules<\/em> season 10 reunion.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cKatie don\u2019t do that, don\u2019t disparage her. You\u2019re going to get a cease and desist if you keep attacking her in the comments, too.\u201d he told his ex-wife during the Bravo special.<\/p>\n In footage shared by a Bravo fan account, Wenberg was seen filming with Schwartz, Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a>, James Kennedy<\/strong><\/a> and Ally Lewber<\/strong><\/a>. Maloney, for her part, replied in the comments section<\/a>, writing. \u201cI can feel that energy from here. Yikes.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tom-Schwartz-and-Jo-Wenbergs-Relationship-Timeline-From-Roommates-to-Vanderpump-Rules-Costars2.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
