Tom Sandoval opened up about his current girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, and his former flame, musician Tii, after Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.
Months into his relationship with the 31-year-old model, who was previously linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, Sandoval, 41, revealed how he and Victoria met, gushed over her success and “nurturing” demeanor, and looked back on the time he spent with Tii.
“We met randomly,” Sandoval began on the April 30 episode of the Pump Rules: After Show.
According to Sandoval, it all started when he met a group of women at The Waterfront restaurant.
“There were those girls who we were talking to at the table. I stayed in contact with one of the girls and then she asked her friend to come to one of my shows. They had fun, and then I was at the launch party for Special Forces and she saw us there at Craig’s, and then we ended up going to do karaoke, came back to my house, we were hanging out,” he recalled.
Although he and Victoria started out as friends, they grew to be more.
“She’s super cool. She’s very successful. She’s a model, does very well for herself, has her own house, did not watch the show, was not familiar with it whatsoever, doesn’t care about social media following or anything. She’s also very generous, she’s very sweet, she takes care of people, she’s very nurturing, very maternal, and she’s spontaneous,” he shared. “We have a lot of fun together.”
“She’s cool,” agreed Tom Schwartz, 40.
When Sandoval was then asked about Victoria’s alleged past with Leonardo, he replied, “I think they dated very briefly,” and added, “Maybe she aged out.”
Moving on to Tii, Sandoval had equally kind things to say about his past fling.
“She’s great. Really nice girl. Um, super cool, super talented, great singer,” he described. “[But] it was never anything real serious.”
While Sandoval and Tii’s relationship was casual, the musician did cross paths with the Pump Rules cast, including Ariana Madix, 38, who recounted their interaction in her own After Show segment.
“[Scheana Shay] was like, ‘Why has that girl been talking to my husband [Brock Davies] for so long?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ She was like, ‘Do you want to get a water with me?’ I was like, ’Sure,’ and then [we] met,” Ariana revealed. “My impression was that she was cute and seemed nice, who knows? I don’t know her, but that she also seemed really young … I think he’s got a thing going on right now about age and getting older, and so I think something about going after younger women.”
“He’s not exactly the most mature guy so maybe that’s an appropriate age,” Katie Maloney, 37, replied.
Meanwhile, James Kennedy, 32, suggested that Sandoval needed to have a woman in his life to stroke his ego.
“Tom Sandoval’s not gonna be running around these streets without some arm candy and being that guy because his ego’s inflated so f*cking big,” he stated.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
