Tom and Jo shared details of their relationship in Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Episode 7, which premiered on March 12. Tom explained that Jo had stayed at his apartment "sporadically" and developed a friendship that evolved into a brief fling; however, the pair never became official.
“Literally everyone in my life, whenever I bring you around, they’re like, ‘Is that your [girlfriend]?’” Tom told Jo during the episode.
“You should just be like, ‘Oh, this is just my sister,’” she joked, to which Tom replied, “That’s really weird, because some people know we’ve had sex.”
Although he was previously “intimate" with Jo, Tom made it clear they were nothing more than good friends. But it seemed Jo may have felt a bit differently.
“I think we did really catch feelings for each other,” she said in an episode interview. “And I’m pretty sure they’re still there.”

“I would say I’m not not dating,” Tom said during his February appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “I’m hanging out, it’s new, it’s exciting.”
