A little about Lisa Vanderpump

Lisa Vanderpump was born on September 15, 1960, in Dulwich, London, England.

She was a regular cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from 2010 to 2019.

Since 2013 she has been the main protagonist in the series Vanderpump Rules.

TomTom explained

Along with being best friends, Schwartz and Sandoval are also business partners.

In 2018, during Season 7, the reality stars opened the West Hollywood bar TomTom alongside former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump.

Some say that you shouldn't go into business with your friends because it could damage the relationship, however, Schwartz and Sandoval proved those people wrong in 2022 when they opened their second restaurant, Schwartz & Sandy’s.

Schwartz has stuck by Sandoval

Over the years, Schwartz and Sandoval have been by each other's sides through cheating scandals, proposals, marriages, and even divorce.

Schwartz was even seen defending Sandoval in April 2023 after allegations he cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with costar Raquel Leviss went viral.

“First of all, Ariana, love you. I know you don’t love me right now, but I still love you. And also, Tom, I know the whole world hates you. But I’m not going to abandon you, old buddy. I’m not going to abandon you,” Schwartz said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, via Us Weekly.

“He knows he’s a monster for what he did. If you see him, maybe give him a hug. Even if he doesn’t deserve it, give him a hug. He’s down bad.”

Schwartz and Sandoval were roommates

Schwartz and Sandoval were roommates before VPR was picked up by Bravo.

They reportedly became friends after Schwartz answered a Craigslist ad Sandoval posted, according to Us Weekly.

Sandoval has been a member of the VPR cast since Season 1 in 2013, but Schwartz only had a recurring role for the first two seasons.

However, he was later promoted to a series regular during Season 3, which is when his relationship with Sandoval started to grow.

“The reality is that we’re very, very, close,” Sandoval explained during an appearance on the So Bad It's Good With Ryan Bailey podcast in 2022, via Us Weekly.

“We text numerous times throughout pretty much every single day. We’re very, very, very close.”

‘I was raised by such loving parents’

Four days after the episode aired, Raquel took to her Instagram page, @raquelleviss, to share more information about her parents and family dynamic.

The reality star posted a series of images, including one with Susan and one with her father.

She wrote: “This is my Grandma Buttons. She created my mom Laura and my biological mom Susan.

“I shared a little bit about my in family adoption on this week’s episode. My mom Laura (pictured in slide 2) couldn’t conceive so when her younger sister Susan had an unplanned pregnancy with me, she offered to have me for my mom!”
