During the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion, Schwartz clarified his status with Jo.
“It did evolve into a situationship, or like a friends-with-benefits thing with clearly defined boundaries,” Schwartz said. “We were both coming out of long-term relationships, and for a minute there, we were each other’s happy place.”
