How Exes Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute Reconnected After His AGT Debut

by

Tom Sandoval is SUR-ving up a surprising update on where he stands with ex Kristen Doute.

After the lead singer of Tom Sandoval & The Most Extra impressed with his performance on America’s Got Talent, the ex-couple from Vanderpump Rules have since rekindled their relationship.

Sandoval shared with TopMob News that both Luke [Broderick] and Kristen extended contact to him. Naturally, he extended his congratulations to Luke and Kristen upon hearing about the birth of their daughter, Kaia Lily.

However, this isn’t a novel occurrence; they’ve spoken before since parting ways following season two of VPR, and their Bravo reality show exit.

Occasionally, we have conversations. It’s Luke I run into more frequently. (Or, alternatively, “Luke is the one I bump into most often.”)

Reflecting back on our shared experiences over the years, Sandoval gently noted, “We’ve faced many challenges side by side.

However, not just Doute and Broderick made contact following Sandoval’s impressive performance on America’s Got Talent in the June 24 episode; other prominent friends also extended their congratulations.

According to Tom, Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, and Tom Schwartz, along with several former cast members from other reality shows, extended their well-wishes.

In my personal experience, I’ve recently had the pleasure of hearing from Danielle Reyes and Dylan Efron, as well as Johnny Bananas, who hails from House of Villains. It seems like a multitude of individuals have been in touch with me lately, including Tara Reid, who represents Special Forces.

Overwhelmed, Sandoval is finding immense support following his success in the initial audition round.

He expressed his gratitude with great enthusiasm, feeling incredibly fortunate to have friends who shower him with such love. It’s been truly amazing, and he can’t thank them enough.

See Sandoval’s AGT journey continue Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.

A significant portion of the initial season of Vanderpump Rules, which premiered in 2013, revolved around the turmoil caused by Jax’s infidelity with Stassi in Las Vegas. Following his liaison with fellow cast member Kristen Doute during season two, the relationship between them ultimately ended for good.

In 2017, a former student from VPR started dating a casting executive while she was still working on the show. Following her dismissal from the series in 2020, Stassi and Beau got married legally in September of that year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Their daughter, Hartford, was born in January 2021.

In May 2022, the two had a formal Italian wedding, and they became parents to a newborn boy named Messer in 2023, making it their second child.

In the year 2015, Jax encountered Brittany, marking this occasion as following his separation from Stassi. After navigating through a betrayal controversy that involved Jax and their ex-colleague named Faith Stowers, they went ahead to tie the knot at a castle in Kentucky, which is Brittany’s hometown, in 2019. A special about their wedding was broadcast on Bravo not long after.

In April 2021, Jax and Brittany joyously welcomed their newborn son, named Cruz, a year following their departure from the show.

Regrettably, it was revealed in February 2024 that they had parted ways, with Brittany leaving their shared home. In August of the same year, she formally submitted divorce papers.

In the third season of VPR (Vanderpump Rules) in 2013, Tom started dating Ariana after his split with Kristen Doute. For nine years, they stood out as one of the most reliable couples on the show, purchasing a house, adopting dogs, and even collaborating on a cocktail book together.

Due to TomTom’s co-owner being known for his stability, it was surprising to many when news broke about his seven-month affair with a co-star in March 2023. This revelation ultimately led to the end of his relationship with Ariana.

After the cheating scandal broke, Tom has attributed a lack of emotional connection as one of the factors that drove them apart. Additionally, he stated that they were already separated when his infidelity became public knowledge; however, he admitted to having kissed Raquel back in August 2022, which was before Ariana learned about it.

Approximately a month following Ariana’s split from Tom due to his infidelity with Raquel, the well-known celebrity was seen moving on with fitness trainer Daniel Wai. In April 2023, they were caught locking lips and becoming affectionate during the first weekend of Coachella.

They are still going strong over one year later.

After my divorce from Mike Shay in 2017, I found myself smitten two years later when I crossed paths with Brock, through mutual friends in San Diego. Love had certainly struck! Our lives became intertwined, and we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Summer Moon Honey, in April 2021. With hearts overflowing, we decided to make it official and tied the knot shortly thereafter.

In the tenth season of “Vanderpump Rules,” Scheana and Brock’s August 2022 Cancún wedding was featured, but it wasn’t until the April 2023 episode that she disclosed on the show that they had secretly tied the knot (legally) a full year before their destination ceremony.

In August 2016, a couple who had been dating for six years finally tied the knot. Yet, their relationship, which was often dramatic and depicted on Bravo, lasted for 12 years in total before Katie made the decision to end it by filing for divorce from TomTom’s co-owner in March 2022, after years of conflict and disagreements.

Initially maintaining a friendly dynamic after their breakup, Tom’s kiss with Raquel in August 2022 destroyed any prospects of continued friendship between them. During season 10 of VPR, Katie introduced a new romantic interest, the 26-year-old actor Satchel Clendenin, but the relationship is now over.

Tom is also currently single.

James and Raquel were together for a span of five years, including an engagement period, before parting ways in November 2021. Later on, the ex-beauty queen pointed out his anger problems as one of the contributing factors to their separation.

At the VPR’s ninth season reunion, broadcasted in January 2022, it was disclosed that James and Raquel had only infrequently engaged in intimate moments during the last two years before their separation.

During season 3, James started dating Kristen Doute, but they parted ways in the year 2015.

Two months following his breakup with Raquel, James was seen with Ally Lewber in January 2022. They walked a red carpet for the first time as a couple the following month.

In the opening episode of season 10, Ally stepped onto the scene for the first time on “Vanderpump Rules,” and later, viewers watched as the couple decided to share a home together.

In December 2024, a bump appeared in their relationship when James was taken into custody for allegations of domestic violence following an incident with an unidentified woman. By the following month, the ex-pair publicly declared that they had parted ways due to James’ legal predicament, which did not lead to any formal charges being filed against him.

 

In October of 2021, the actress and film producer who is also known as a Bravo star ended their three-year relationship. Prior to their separation, they had a baby girl named Ocean in March of 2021. Later on, Lala attributed part of their breakup to Randall’s rumored infidelity, although he has denied any involvement in extra-marital affairs.

In the thrilling tenth season of “Vanderpump Rules,” Lala, my absolute obsession, confessed she hadn’t experienced any romantic encounters since our split. Yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, she dared to dip her toes back into the dating world by connecting with a fella during an exhilarating girls’ getaway at Lake Havasu.

Lala is currently still single and mingling, as is Randall.

Following Sandoval’s relationship with Jax, Kristen had an on-again, off-again romance with Brian Carter, which was featured on Bravo. Later, she was in a relationship with Alex Menache for about two years until they parted ways in June 2022.

Kristen quickly found love the very same month, connecting with Luke Broderick. They crossed paths when they served as bridesmaid and groomsman at a mutual friend’s wedding that summer, and have been an item ever since. Not only do they share their romantic journey, but Luke also frequently co-hosts her podcast titled “Love, Sex and What Else Matters“.

The pair announced their engagement in September 2024.

In March 2023, Kristina, a recurring character on the show since season two, became a mother to her first child, a son named River, with her long-term partner Max Ville. They have been in a relationship for more than a dozen years.

After his divorce, Schwartz ultimately decided to embark on a significant new relationship for the first time in years, as he began dating Sophia Skoro, who is 23.

In March 2024, he confessed his affection, stating about the vintage clothing business owner, “She’s one of the most extraordinary individuals on earth. She’s tough yet endearing. Her wit is offbeat, she’s incredibly intelligent, highly accomplished, and wildly successful.

Two years following her divorce from Tom Schwartz, Maloney admitted that she is deeply in love and involved in a significant relationship with an unidentified man.

She expressed on her “Disrespectfully” podcast in October 2024, “He truly makes me feel extraordinary, and he is extraordinary indeed. I am incredibly, genuinely content.
