“So I took that and ran with it and I told Raquel, ‘Katie kind of gives you her blessing if you want to pursue that.’ And then you’ll see the rest play out,” Scheana added. Well, Raquel actually took that recommendation to coronary heart.
Tom bought an opportunity to reply when he appeared on an episode of Scheana’s podcast. The footage is seen in an upcoming episode of Pump Rules. She teased the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner about rumors that he and Raquel connected at Coachella.

“I guess that was her just wanting to still have some control over Schwartz, you know?” Scheana opined about Katie’s ultimatum for Tom. “Like, just another ultimatum, another control thing. I think that’s what it was,” she added.
Raquel accepted Tom’s determination to not discover their relationship additional. But she questions if that’s what he actually needed. “As far as a romantic thing, it was more his decision to not pursue that,” Raquel stated. “I think Katie had a big reasoning as to why.”

Katie and Scheana “don’t speak” anymore. Scheana understands Katie’s emotions concerning Tom. She stated, “I think it’s always going to be upsetting either way when you hear your ex is moving on, hooking up with someone else. It’s just an extra sting when it’s someone as beautiful as Raquel, who is also on the show, and then you have that thrown in your face.”
Scheana continued, “That’s just an extra sting, so I get it. And when she said that, you know, maybe she wasn’t being serious. But I took it and ran with it and you will see all of that.”
Meanwhile, Katie has moved on with a a lot youthful man.
