Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz met up with a special visitor in LA and shared a moment from the hangout.
Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz's friendship is still going strong. The Vanderpump Rules cast members and co-owners of Schwartz & Sandy's have stuck by one another through all of their ups and downs in their lives — from breakups to family stuff. In fact, Schwartz and Sandoval were all smiles over this past weekend as they reunited with Schwartz's younger brother, Robert "Bert" Schwartz.

Sandoval took to his Instagram Story over the weekend where he posted the sweetest selfie of the three of them taken at Schwartz & Sandy's. In the photo, both of the Toms can be seen wearing matching black t-shirts, happily smiling for the camera, as they sandwich Bert in the middle with their arms around him.
Sandoval let the photo speak for itself, choosing to not caption it but instead tagging Tom, Bert, and their bar's handle, Schwartz and Sandy's. But really, the photo says it all — all three men could not look any happier to be reunited with one another.

Tom Schwartz's Update on Bert Schwartz's Health
During VPR Season 11 Episode 3, Schwartz confided to Lisa Vanderpump about Bert's health after he was rushed to the hospital for health complications surrounding his "dependency on alcohol." "Bert used to be like this ray of sunshine," Schwartz explained during an interview in the episode.
However, things changed for Bert after he "got jumped outside of a bar" and was just "never the same." "He slowly started a dependency on alcohol," he said. Tom continued, noting how hard it has been on him and his family.
"Any form of addiction and the impact it has on the whole family is brutal," he said during the episode. "Seeing someone I love suffer so much because of their dependency on alcohol, it's made me re-think my moderation."
Schwartz and Bert appeared on an episode of Sandoval's podcast, Everybody Loves Tom, in April where Bert expressed his gratitude for Schwartz's support. "I'll say, a lot of people, including my older brother here, have seen me at my worst," he said. "But now, they see me at my best. So, that's the turnaround. I'm very grateful and [it's] rewarding, so I'm just high on life."
Schwartz also shared in that same episode that Bert has dreams of "moving to Los Angeles to work in production." So, it's very possible that Schwartz and Sandoval's followers could be seeing more of him on their Instagram Stories in the future.
