An interview with Us Weekly resurfaced on Wednesday that appeared to trace the 39-year-old actuality star may now not image a future along with his longtime girlfriend. Shortly after the 2 purchased their residence collectively, Sandoval instructed the outlet in February 2020 that he didn’t “really have any relationship goals” with Ariana. Whoa. The cowl band frontman then famous that issues are good between them every time they’re holding “busy,” explaining:

Sandoval then famous that he and the 37-year-old joke round with one another on a regular basis, saying:
“We have great debates, intelligent debates. We have a lot of respect for each other. It’s a positive thing.”
Wow. Sandoval claims to “have a lot of respect” for Ariana, but he has the nerve to have a full-on relationship with their co-star (and probably different ladies) behind her again. Really, dude? That doesn’t precisely seem like the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner has any type of “respect” for his ex-girlfriend to us. When requested if the previous couple would ever check out an open relationship, he replied:
“I don’t know.”
Of course, Sandoval and Ariana confronted rumors that they have been in an open relationship after the season 10 trailer dropped earlier this yr. However, she shut down the hypothesis on Twitter (earlier than she deactivated her account):
“we dont have an open relationship. i’m really not that cool. thought that was obvious. #pumprules.”
Turns out rumors about them having an open relationship could be the least of her issues…
Three years after the Us Weekly interview, information broke that Sandoval cheated on Ariana with their castmate (and her shut buddy) Raquel Leviss for seven months. Scheana Shay’s buddy Kael Ramsey Ackerson revealed on the Jamie All Over podcast Tuesday that the 28-year-old instructed him the pair turned “closer” after she went on a lady’s journey to Sin City in August 2022:
“She basically just told me [it happened] seven months ago and after the Las Vegas trip. I told her, ‘Bro, you literally called me an hour or two after the girls that made you cry and then you hit me back when you were in Los Angeles.’ And she was like, ‘[After the boys night] is when we got closer.’”
Flash ahead to March 2023, Sandoval’s cellphone fell out of his pocket throughout a efficiency along with his cowl band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, and she or he found an specific recording of a FaceTime between him and Raquel. Awful. This prompted Ariana to interrupt up with him after 9 years of relationship.

But past the dishonest scandal, the cut up apparently was a very long time coming. A supply beforehand instructed The Sun that Ariana and Sandoval “were having issues these past few months.” Things between them turned so dangerous at one level that the enterprise proprietor “tried to break up with Ariana before.” However, they stayed collectively till his infidelity got here to mild.
Even if the duo have been having issues or if Sandoval was executed with the connection over the previous three years, that isn’t an excuse to cheat on Ariana. He may have had the decency to interrupt up along with her first earlier than beginning one thing up with Raquel. Just saying!
