You Won't Believe What Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss Did the Day After Their First Hookup
Get new details on Tom and Raquel's affair shared on Vanderpump Rules' "Secrets Revealed" episode.
Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss' affair was undoubtedly shocking on its own, but Raquel's big revelation during Part 3 of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion took things to an entirely different level. Now, the same could be said for what unfolded on Vanderpump Rules Season 10, Episode 19, a.k.a. the "Secrets Revealed" episode, which aired on June 14.
What did Raquel reveal about her and Tom at the Vanderpump Rules reunion?
In her "final interview of the season" — which came just six days after the reunion was taped — Raquel shared several never-before-revealed details about her and Tom's relationship, including the notion that they hadn't been telling the truth about the timeline of their affair. As she told a producer, "I think that I’ve been lying and being so deceitful this entire time that I don’t want to lie anymore. And it’s all out there anyway, like the worst is out, yet I’m still finding myself having to lie about specific timeline things.”
More specifically, Raquel said that Tom felt "like it would be less hurtful to say that this wasn’t going on for so long,” but in reality, them hooking up had started to become a "regular thing" pretty early on.
How the "Secrets Revealed" Episode Covered Raquel and Tom's Affair
The Aftermath of Guys' Night
For the first time, viewers saw how Tom and Raquel spent the day following their first hookup: hanging out with Ariana.
Raquel visited the couple's house along with Charli Burnett, hugging Ariana, and greeting Tom with flowers, to which he said, "You brought me flowers? Oh my god, I love it."
"I haven't seen you in so long," Raquel joked; as did he, telling her, "It's been so long! I barely recognize you anymore."
The group went on to discuss the events of the past few days — sans Tom and Raquel's hookup — including the drama with Lala Kent and Katie Maloney, who were both upset with Raquel for the comment she made after Lala said she wouldn't trust her around her man. (More on that below.)
Ariana's Hope for Her and Tom's Relationship
Tom has long insisted that he and Ariana were in a bad place when he started cheating on her, but on the "Secrets Revealed" episode, Ariana only had positive things to say about their future as a couple.
As she put it in a confessional interview, "I think Tom and I have the kind of bond that, you know, we started out as friends, and that friendship bond is something that I feel like will help us be able to come back and rebuild those romantic times now that we hopefully have more time together."
Tom also appeared satisfied with things, and the two could even be seen on a cute skating date.
Ariana's Defense of Raquel
In light of Raquel's drama with Lala and Katie, Ariana told Tom, "I said to Katie, 'You're gonna have to work really hard to get me to not just absolutely love Raquel. I love her so much and we've spent so much time together on trips and we really have this really beautiful little friendship family."
She also explained that she was particularly baffled by Lala and Katie "saying stuff like, 'Well, I wouldn't trust Raquel with my man.'"

"It's like, we've all stayed in houses together," Ariana continued. "It sucks that maybe you guys don't have that kind of friendship family that we have had the last few years with each other."
Added Tom, "It's like such a transparent love that we have."
