Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval revealed surprising update on legal battle with ex Ariana Madix over their house after she sued him following their 2023 breakup.
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix have finally agreed on one thing: Saying goodbye to the home they once shared.
“The house is going on the market," the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras frontman revealed during the Oct. 23 episode of his Everybody Loves Tom podcast. "Selling the house, getting it ready."
And when it comes to the Vanderpump Rules stars' new living situation, he proved he and new girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson are getting serious by taking their relationship to the next level. As Tom added, "Victoria and I are moving in together.”
The model, who joined him on the podcast, praised her boyfriend of nine months for finally agreeing to list his and Ariana's five-bedroom home, which they bought for $2 million in 2019 prior to Tom's cheating scandal with former costar Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.
"I'm proud of you too," Victoria noted. "Because it's not just about moving in with me. You should separate from the past. It will help you move on and it's just healthy."
Plus, after Tom and Ariana's messy breakup—and very awkward post-split living situation—played out during the Bravo series' 11th season earlier this year, Victoria quipped, "I'm also never gonna move in to that house if you want a future with me."
But cohabitation isn't the only major milestone the couple is planning for. The 42-year-old revealed he and Victoria have already talked about having "cute ass kids" together.
Donny BennartzVictoria, 32, added, "I want two. I want a boy and a girl."
Tom's update comes nine months after Ariana sued her former partner of nearly 10 years in January after he refused to list the property. The Love Island USA host asked a judge to order the sale the home and divide the proceeds, per legal papers obtained by E! News.
During a February episode of VPR, Ariana explained her feelings about getting rid of the house.
"I'm not here for him trying to assert his dominance," she shared. "You can't sell the house unless both people agree to sell the house. But Tom wants to buy me out and stay there and I'm not just gonna pack up my clothes and hitchhike down the road because Tom offered me a measly sum of money."
"The fact of the matter is he broke the home," Ariana added in a confessional. "He f--ked all of this up. He doesn't get to do that and then just, I don't know, keep it."

Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesMuch of Vanderpump Rules' first season, which debuted 2013, focused on the drama surrounding Jax cheating on Stassi in Las Vegas. And after he hooked up with co-star Kristen Doute on season two, the couple broke up for good.
Instagram/@stassischroederThe VPR alum began dating the casting executive in 2017 while she was still on the show. After she was fired from the series in 2020, Stassi and Beau legally tied the knot in September of that year during the COVID-19 pandemic before welcoming daughter Hartford in January 2021.
The two later held a formal wedding in Italy in May 2022 and welcomed their second child, son Messer, in 2023.

After surviving a cheating scandal involving Jax and their former co-star Faith Stowers, he and Brittany got married at a castle in her native Kentucky in 2019. Their wedding special aired on Bravo shortly after.
Jax and Brittany welcomed their first child—son Cruz—in April 2021 a year after they walked away from the show.
Sadly, they announced in February 2024 that they had separated and Brittany had moved out of their house. She officially filed for divorce in August that sameyear.
Todd Williamson/BravoFollowing his breakup from Kristen Doute, Tom and Ariana began dating when she joined the show during filming season three in 2013. The duo proved to be one of VPR's most dependable couples for nine years as they bought a house, adopted dogs and even wrote a cocktail book together.
Because of their stability, fans were shocked when the TomTom co-owner's seven-month affair with their co-star came to light in March 2023, leading to his and Ariana's breakup.
Since the cheating scandal, Tom has credited a lack of intimacy as one of the reasons they drifted away. He also claimed they were separated when news of his cheating went public, though he revealed he and Raquel first kissed in August 2022 long before Ariana found out.
Instagram/@thestrongwaiOne month after Ariana broke up with Tom for cheating on her with Raquel, the reality star moved on with fitness trainer Daniel Wai. The two were spotted making out and getting cozy in April 2023 at weekend one of Coachella.
They are still going strong over one year later.
Instagram/@scheanaFollowing her divorce from ex Mike Shay in 2017, Scheana met Brock two years later with friends in San Diego and it was love at first sight. The couple welcomed their first child together—daughter Summer Moon Honey—in April 2021 before tying the knot.
Scheana and Brock's August 2022 Cancún wedding aired during VPR season 10, but she actually revealed on the show's April 2023 episode that they secretly got married (legally) one year prior to the destination ceremony.
Maarten de Boer/E! EntertainmentThe longtime lovers got married in August 2016 after six years of dating. However, their tumultuous relationship played out on the Bravo series and after years of tension and fighting, Katie had had enough. The duo was together for 12 years in total before Katie decided to divorce the TomTom co-owner in March 2022.
While they initially remained friendly exes, Tom's makeout with Raquel in August 2022 ruined any chances of amicability between the two. During season 10 of VPR, Katie introduced a new love interest, 26-year-old actor Satchel Clendenin, though the two are no longer dating.
Tom is also currently single.

During VPR's season nine reunion, which aired in January 2022, James and Raquel revealed they had barely had sex in the two years leading up to their breakup.

Just two months after his split from Raquel, James was spotted with a new lady, Ally Lewber, in January 2022 and they made their first official red carpet appearance together the next month.
Ally made her Vanderpump Rules debut on the premiere of season 10. She and James are still going strong, though she has voiced concerns about his drinking habits.
Bravo / Getty ImagesThe Bravo star and movie producer called off their engagement in October 2021 after three years together. Before breaking up, they welcomed daughter Ocean in March 2021. Lala later credited their split in part to Randall's alleged cheating, though he's denied having affairs.
During VPR season 10, Lala revealed she hadn't had sex since their breakup, but dove back into the dating pool by hooking up with a guy during a girls trip to Lake Havasu.
Lala is currently still single and mingling, as is Randall.
Instagram/@kristendouteAfter Sandoval—and her fling with Jax—Kristen dated Brian Carter on and off on the Bravo series before moving on with Alex Menache, who she was with for two years before calling it quits in June 2022.
Kristen found love again soon after that same month. She met Luke Broderick when they served as a bridesmaid and groomsman in their mutual friend's nuptials that summer and have been together ever since. In addition to dating, he regularly co-hosts her podcast Love, Sex and What Else Matters.
The pair announced their engagement in September 2024.
Instagram/@kristinakellyKristina, who has made multiple appearances on the show since season two, welcomed her first child—baby boy River—with partner Max Ville in March 2023. The two have been together for over 12 years.

Schwartz finally committed to his first serious relationship since his divorce when he started dating 23-year-old Sophia Skoro.
"We love each other," he admitted in March 2024, adding of the vingtage clothing busniess owner, "One of the coolest human beings on earth. The baddest b---h alive. She's got this unconventional sense of humor. She's sharp as hell, super successful."

Two years after her divorce from Tom Schwartz, Maloney revealed she's "in love" and in a serious relationship with her new mystery boyfriend.
"Hhe just makes me feel really special, and he's really special," she shared on her Disrespectfully podcast in October 2024. "I'm just really, really happy."
