Reality television personality Tom Sandoval has announced he and his girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson are preparing to move in together, marking a significant milestone in their relationship nearly two years after the explosive cheating scandal that ended his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.
BravoCon Announcement Signals Relationship Progress
During an appearance at BravoCon in Las Vegas this week, the Vanderpump Rules star shared the couple's plans to cohabit. "I think we found a place together," Sandoval declared, though he clarified that Robinson currently remains at her own residence. When questioned by the Daily Mail about whether the lease had been finalised, he responded: "I think that's happening soon."
The reality star described himself as having been somewhat reclusive recently, explaining that he and Robinson have valued their private time together. "We really enjoyed just having our time together and growing in our relationship," Sandoval remarked, highlighting the positive development in his personal life.
Scandoval Fallout Continues to Loom
This relationship milestone arrives exactly two years after the revelation that Sandoval had cheated on his then-girlfriend of nine years Ariana Madix with their Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss. The affair, which became publicly known in March 2023 and was immediately dubbed "Scandoval" by media outlets, transformed Sandoval into a public hate figure and generated massive attention that revitalised interest in the reality series.
The aftermath saw Leviss facing such intense public backlash that she departed from Vanderpump Rules and entered a mental health facility for two months. In February 2024, she initiated legal proceedings against both Sandoval and Madix, alleging revenge porn, eavesdropping and invasion of privacy in a lawsuit that remains ongoing.
According to legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Leviss accused Sandoval of secretly recording their private communications and capturing sexually explicit footage without her knowledge or consent. She further alleged that Madix intentionally distributed these illicit videos after discovering them on Sandoval's phone.
New Relationship Blossoms Amid Career Changes
Despite the continuing legal battles and public scrutiny, Sandoval's romantic life has shown remarkable recovery. He went public with Robinson, a model who previously had a brief involvement with Leonardo DiCaprio, in January 2024.
Though Sandoval has generally maintained privacy around this relationship, he has occasionally shared glimpses of their bond on social media. In September, while touring with his band Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, he posted a throwback selfie of the couple with the caption: "Miss you so much Behbay…Ur in my heart with every show…can't wait to see you soon."
He further demonstrated his affection during a concert performance, telling the camera: "Behbay, I love you so much," before asking audience members to "say hi to Victoria."
Sandoval also revealed that Robinson's family is becoming more involved in their lives, sharing that "her mom and her stepdad are coming out here" for BravoCon.
This personal development coincides with professional changes for the reality star. In November 2024, Bravo announced that Vanderpump Rules would be rebooted with an entirely new cast, effectively ending Sandoval's tenure on the series that made him famous and documented the scandal that upended his personal life.
