Tom Sandoval totally understands why Tom Schwartz is dating Raquel Levis — after all, they secretly had a “whole affair” at the time.

On Wednesday’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules,” the two were chatting at Brooke Davies’ bachelor party when Schwartz told Sandoval that he finds Levi’s “pretty.”

Sandoval quickly replied, “I see.”

However, Schwartz admitted that he still feels it’s “illegal” for him to check out other women, because he and his ex-wife, Katie Maloney, only split a few months ago.

Maloney and Schwartz announced their separation in March 2022 after tying the knot in front of the Bravo cameras in August 2016. The two had been dating since September 2010.

Despite their long-term relationship, Sandoval didn’t think Schwartz should hold back because he told his friend that he and “Ariana” [Madix] Like checking on girls all the time — and guys.”

“Nobody cares,” added the 40-year-old singer. (Madix, 37, has previously come out as bisexual.)

Sandoval’s validation was enough to inspire Schwartz to finally make a move on Levi’s, 28. At the end of the episode, he ends up kissing the former beauty queen at Davis and Chyna Shay’s wedding, which takes place in August 2022.

However, it is unclear if, at the time of their embrace, Schwartz was aware that his best friend was having an affair with Leavis.

After Scandoval’s exposure, many believed that Schwartz knew about their affair and was trying to deflect attention from it by making a move on Levis.

In a resurfaced interview, Schwartz claims Sandoval “made” him kiss her.

Follow Page Six’s coverage of “Scandoval”:

“I didn’t want to do that,” Schwartz said “ET Canada” said In an interview Feb. 7. “It’s like, if you don’t do it, you’re too hard.” … He vaporized me.”

Since then, Levis and Schwartz have denied that their kiss was a hoax.

Levis and Sandoval made headlines in March when it was revealed that they had flirted – dating back to July 2022.

After a sexually explicit video of Leviss was found on Sandoval’s phone on March 1, Madix dumped her boyfriend of nearly ten years.

“Vanderpump Rules” airs every Wednesday at 9 PM ET on Bravo.
