Tom Schwartz Reveals He and Katie Maloney-Schwartz Had Been Trying to Start a Family

It's a new season of Vanderpump Rules, and we'll see that a lot has changed for this crew when Season 9 premieres on Tuesday, September 28 at 9/8c.

In fact, the first few minutes of the new season premiere shared exclusively with Bravo Insider members, above, is filled with major life updates from the cast, including Tom Schwartz, who reveals that he and wife Katie Maloney-Schwartz had used their downtime during the pandemic to try to start a family. "During quarantine, Katie and I decided to really put a concerted effort into trying to make a baby," Tom says in an interview in the clip. "There was a two-month window in which we were really working on it."

The subject of all the Vanderpump Rules babies comes up as Schwartz and Tom Sandoval meet with Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd to get Tom Tom ready for its reopening. Tom Tom is, of course, the bar that the Toms partnered with Lisa and Ken to open in 2018. But now, Schwartz and Sandoval are ready to step out and give birth to a bar of their own. "As amazing as it is to see Ken and Lisa, I'm also slightly nervous, because I don't know if they know we're opening a new place or not," Sandoval admits in an interview in the clip.

So, how does Lisa feel about the Toms starting a new business without her? You'll find out in the video, above, along with why the bar is already causing tension between Sandoval and Katie.
