Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval opened up about the first time he kissed Raquel Leviss on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast.
He said things started by them just hanging out. But after a while, things changed.
“And then we were back at my house, just talking” adding that they were “in the backyard” because he was “locked out” of the home he shares with Ariana Madix. He was still in a relationship with Ariana at the time.
“We just kissed. It was magnetic. We were talking, moving closer, and as we were talking, as time went on, we would just start talking closer and closer, and then all of a sudden, we’re kissing.”
The bar owner says he had tried to break with Ariana but she refused.
“I actually did break up with her on Valentine’s Day. I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier,” he said, adding that she was “completely in denial and not accepting it.”
“I sit down to talk to her and she’s like, ‘I’m not letting you leave me. You’re going to have to force me out of this relationship,'” said. “I was like, ‘Ariana, I don’t think I could be faithful in a relationship with you right now.'”
