Have Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss sparked a new romance?
According to a new report, which comes after Tom admitted that Raquel captured his attention after his split from Katie Maloney, the potential new Vanderpump Rules couple was caught “getting cozy” while attending a “Welcome White Party” for Scheana Shay and Brock Davies ahead of their Tuesday wedding at the Dreams Natura Resort and Spa.
An insider shared the news with Hollywood Life on August 23, noting that Katie and Raquel’s ex-fiancé, James Kennedy, were in attendance at the welcome party, along with James’ girlfriend, Ally Lewber, and several other past and present members of the Pump Rules cast, including Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute, and Brittany Cartwright.
The outlet also confirmed the event was filmed and noted that Lisa Vanderpump did not travel to Mexico for Scheana’s nuptials.
As Pump Rules fans well know, Tom and Katie called it quits on their 12-year relationship in March 2022, just months after Raquel and James confirmed the end of their five-year relationship.
“[The party] was complete with fire dancers, bongo water drums, and tables and swings set inside the shallow pool at the back of the hotel property, overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea at night. Guests were treated to an open bar of exotic cocktails and tequila shots.”
While appearing on Scheana’s podcast, Scheananigans, in April, Tom reacted to a recent rumor suggesting he made out with Raquel at Coachella, which he didn’t actually attend, and he gave his response to Raquel telling Scheana they hadn’t kissed “yet.”
“I don’t know what to say. She said that?” he asked. “Raquel is, she was always cool… I never really gave her a chance to like, I was in my… She has so much depth and character. I think I wrote her off as maybe… Raquel is like, there is a Raquelessaince… She is cool as sh-t.”
Vanderpump Rules season 10 is in production and expected to air on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
