Ariana Madix Is Feeling "Amazing" as She Attends Coachella After Tom Sandoval Split
View Date:2025-01-09 11:26:07
Ariana Madix is SUR-ving up good vibes during Coachella.
The Vanderpump Rules star gave a status check while at The Oasis: Celsius Vibe House party, a little over one month after Scandavol first made headlines.
As seen in an April 14 TikTok on Farai Bennett's profile, when asked how she was feeling, Ariana declared, "Amazing!" The reality TV star also confirmed in the clip that she is thriving.
The glimpse into Ariana's time in Indio, Calif., comes after news surfaced in early March that her former boyfriend of nine years Tom Sandoval had cheated on her with their co-star Raquel Leviss. Ariana also attended the party the same day a source confirmed to E! News that Raquel has entered a facility to obtain mental health counseling. Her rep said the star and her family had decided months ago that she should seek treatment.
Following Ariana and Tom's breakup and news of the cheating scandal, he took to Instagram with an apology for his ex, while neither confirming nor denying the affair at the time.
"I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love," he wrote, in part, in a March 7 Instagram post. "No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly."
Raquel has also spoken out about the scandal. "I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships," she wrote on Instagram March 8, after Tom issued his statement. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana."
Since then, Tom has come forward with more details from his side of the story, claiming that he and Ariana were already broken up when his months-long affair with Raquel made headlines.
"I actually did break up with her on Valentine's Day," he said on the April 11 episode of the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, "I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier."
Tom claimed during the podcast episode that Ariana was not willing to accept their breakup at the time.
"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,'" he recalled of Ariana's alleged response. "I was like, 'Ariana, I don't think I could be faithful in a relationship with you right now.'"
The 39-year-old also shared that he was drawn to Raquel because his relationship with Ariana "didn't have the intimacy" it used to.
"After Raquel and I kissed, I got my ass into therapy immediately," he recalled. "The feelings were very strong and those feelings that I had started to take over logic. All that s--t went out the window because I hadn't experienced that...but the environment that it created—with the lying, the sleeping around—was very unhealthy."
E! News reached out to Ariana's rep for comment on Tom's claims, but did not hear back.
