Tom Sandoval’s advice to Jax Taylor to not live with his ex-girlfriend is not aging well, as Sandoval finds himself in the same situation after cheating on his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix. Sandoval and Madix continue to reside in their California home together despite their breakup after nine years of dating. Many Pump Rules stars have weighed in on the drama, including Jax Taylor, who previously claimed he was there when Sandoval cheated on Madix during a Florida getaway.
Tom Sandoval, who advised Jax Taylor to not live with his ex, found himself in a similar situation when he cheated on Ariana Madix and continued to reside with her.
Tom Sandoval’s past advice to Jax Taylor regarding his relationship with Brittany Cartwright has resurfaced and is not looking so great in light of recent events. During season 6, episode 20 of Vanderpump Rules, filmed in 2017 but aired in 2018, Sandoval told Taylor to “work it out” with Cartwright after their split. At the time, Taylor was still living with Cartwright, following Taylor’s affair with Faith Stowers. Sandoval advised against it, insisting they shouldn’t be living together.
Fast forward to 2021, and Sandoval found himself in a very similar situation, living with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix after cheating on her with Raquel Leviss. The couple reportedly broke up in March after nine years together, but they continue to reside in their shared home as they co-own the property. Kristen Doute, a friend of Madix, claimed that Sandoval is refusing to vacate the house and has stated that he can come and go as he pleases since he partially owns the property. Sandoval and Leviss have since issued public apologies and said sorry to Madix for the scandal, but they made headlines again when Leviss was spotted outside the ex-couple’s shared home.
Meanwhile, Taylor and Cartwright reconciled before their 2018 episode aired and eventually got married the following year. Their relationship was in the spotlight again in 2020 when Stowers spoke out about her experience as the only Black cast member on the Bravo show, revealing that Taylor had an affair with her. Cartwright was accused of being racist towards Stowers, which she denied, and Taylor faced backlash when old tweets about Stowers resurfaced. The couple announced their departure from the show in December 2020 and welcomed their first child in April 2021.
As for Sandoval and Madix, they commented on their relationship drama ahead of the season 9 reunion taping, with Taylor backing up the rumors that Sandoval cheated on Madix during a season 3 trip to Miami. Despite the drama, Taylor and Cartwright remain friends with many of their former costars, while Sandoval and Madix continue to navigate their living arrangement.
