The cheating scandal\u00a0led to his split with longtime girlfriend Madix, 37, whom he had been dating since 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n While Thursday marks the first time Sandoval and Leviss have been seen together in the aftermath of the drama,\u00a0<\/b>the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras singer has filmed at least one scene of the reality show<\/a> with his ex. \u00a0<\/b>Earlier this week, the trailer for the second half of Vanderpump Rules<\/em> season 10 showed the pair arguing while in their shared home. Pump Rules<\/em> alum Kristen Doute<\/strong> <\/a>previously alleged that Sandoval,\u00a0whom she dated from 2007 to 2013,\u00a0refuses to move out of his house with Madix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe tried having a mutual friend \u2026 [say] \u2018Listen, dude, you gotta at least give her a couple hours heads-up when you need to come home to pick things up. You need to let this rest for at least a few weeks. Allow her to grieve, allow her to heal,\u2019\u201d Doute, 40, claimed on the \u201cViall Files\u201d podcast earlier this month<\/a>. \u201cAnd of course, his response is, \u2018It\u2019s my f\u2014king house. I own half of it. I will come and go as I please, and if she has a problem with it, she can leave.\u2019 \u2026 [She] won\u2019t be home alone, because that\u2019s what she\u2019s most afraid of, being home alone and then having him waltz in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As for Sandoval and Leviss, the former beauty queen told TMZ<\/a> on Wednesday, March 22, that the twosome are pressing pause on their romance after their \u201cfriendship\u201d turned into \u201csomething more.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get through these next through steps<\/a> and make amends and hear everybody out. I know a lot of people are angry,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo just getting through these next few steps and not putting a label on anything. We\u2019re just kind of taking a break for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Leviss also confirmed she would be attending the reunion taping despite filing<\/a> an order or protection against costar Shay, 37,\u00a0<\/b>claiming the \u201cGood as Gold\u201d singer punched her in the face after hearing news of her affair with Sandoval.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Shay, for her part, has denied getting physical with the California native through her attorney, Neama Rahmani,<\/strong> who told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in a March 9 statement: \u201cThis case is a fabrication by a known liar and cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her. Scheana never punched Raquel, period. The supposed dark markings around her left eye have been there for months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The former friends will, however, be required to stay 100 yards apart at the reunion,\u00a0which Shay intends to follow, Rahmani told Us<\/em> earlier on Thursday.\u00a0Bravo released the official seating chart for the taping earlier on Wednesday, which revealed that the duo will be filming separately.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
