Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss allegedly had a “full-on affair” for months before their cheating scandal broke Friday, Page Six has exclusively learned.
A source tells us the “Vanderpump Rules” co-stars have been “communicating inappropriately for months” and that Leviss, 28, and Sandoval, 39, now “want to be together.”
A separate source confirmed to Page Six earlier Friday that Sandoval and his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, had broken up.
An insider now adds that Madix, 37, was “blindsided by the cheating.”
“Ariana is heartbroken,” the insider says. “Ariana was there for Raquel during the James [Kennedy] breakup.”
The insider notes that Madix feels “betrayed” by Leviss, whom she considered a “friend.”
We’re also told that Madix found out about the cheating allegations Wednesday when she attended her then-boyfriend’s show with his cover band, Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras, in Los Angeles.
“Ariana and Tom have been affectionate in public recently,” a source says before concluding, “Ariana had no idea there were any issues.”
Reps for Sandoval, Leviss and Madix did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.
The Bravo stars have also not addressed the scandal on their respective social media accounts, although Madix appeared to send somewhat of a message by deleting her Instagram account Friday.
Meanwhile, Kennedy, who is Leviss’ ex-fiancée and Sandoval’s friend, immediately spoke out about the cheating allegations, writing on Instagram alongside an article about the news, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.”
TMZ, which broke the story, reported Friday that “Vanderpump Rules” producers have picked up their cameras to try and capture the fallout of the scandal for the end of Season 10, which is currently airing on Bravo. A source also confirmed to us, “Cameras are rolling.”
Madix and Sandoval had been dating since 2014, and their relationship played out for years on their hit reality show.
In a trailer for the current season, there was speculation about whether the former couple were in an open relationship, but Madix quickly took to Twitter to debunk those rumors.
She clarified in January, “we dont have an open relationship. i’m really not that cool. thought that was obvious. #pumprules.”
Meanwhile, Leviss has been getting a lot of heat for being involved in another love triangle with Sandoval’s BFF, Tom Schwartz, who is newly divorced from their “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Katie Maloney.
The former pageant contestant told Page Six this week during a press tour that she chose to pursue a fling with Schwartz, 40, because she was “never close” with his ex-wife.
