Who is Tom Sandoval dating? The 'Vanderpump Rules' star was briefly linked to a Texas influencer, but in September 2023, he confirmed that he's single.
To say that the cast of Vanderpump Rules and the world were disgusted upon learning about Tom Sandoval and Rachel (fka Raquel) Leviss’s affair is an understatement. The two were torn apart on social media and beyond, and the cast collectively ripped them a new one.
That said, the dust does eventually settle, and folks are now wondering if Tom has moved on with someone new.
For a short time, Tom Sandoval was linked to a Texas influencer, but in September 2023, the VPR star confirmed that he is, in fact, single. Here's the scoop.
Is Tom Sandoval dating anyone?
On the red carpet for the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September 2023, Sandy told Extra's Megan Ryte, "I am single, yes."
“Dating in general is awkward as it is," he said. "It’s just weird. It feels like a job interview. I don’t usually like to go on dates unless I know them already. I would rather hang out with them and like their friends, see who they surround themselves with … see how they act when they get drunk, then later go out on dates."
Dating as Tom Sandoval (and dating Tom Sandoval, to be honest) has to be awkward these days. He's not exactly everyone's favorite at the moment.
Back in May, Tom was briefly linked to holistic and lifestyle influencer Karlee Hale, thanks to an eagle-eyed TikTok user.
TikTok creator Sarah Koefod shared a video on May 18, 2023, that shows herself hanging out with friends at the Austin Proper Hotel: "Last night I was actually out in Austin, Texas where I live and I saw Tom with a mystery woman," Sarah says in the TikTok.

Later, The Sun confirmed Karlee’s identity and shared that the pair were an item. Since that article, Tom and Karlee were photographed in public together a few times.

In August 2023, Tom was rumored to be dating singer Tii.
Tom and Tii were spotted out together in Los Angeles a few months later, but Tom again came out to say they were just friends. When he was seen hanging with Tii, he told a paparazzo, "That's just a friend of mine," according to Page Six.
“A new relationship? You see me with somebody one time and all of a sudden we’re in a relationship?” he continued. Hate to say it, but the guy's got a point.
Just because he's seen out in public with a woman does not mean they're together. In fact, before confirming that he was totally single in September, Tom straight-up said he wasn't searching for anything serious.
"I'm not getting into anything serious right now," he told E! News in August. "I'm just kind of really taking some time. I mean, I've been pretty much in a committed relationship for 15 years."
