Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval seen together for FIRST time since illicit affair was exposed

They have been the subject of speculation for weeks after their affair was revealed to the public.

And now, Vanderpump Rules stars Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval have been spotted together for the first time since their hidden romance came to light.

The two were photographed Thursday in a parking lot in Los Angeles having a conversation during downtime from filming their popular reality show’s reunion.

Despite all the public rancor directed at Raquel, 28, and Tom, 39, the two had warm eyes and seemed happy to be chatting.

That was not the case for the reality show crew members, one of whom appeared to be being reprimanded by an agitated Tom.

Close contact: That the two shared warm glances as they caught up, and even took the intimate step of sitting on the floor to chat with each other.

But it was nothing more than smiles when conversing with Raquel, even when a crew member with a boom mic appeared to be recording their conversation.

Both reality stars were dressed in funereal black prior to the taping, though they were presumably going to switch to a flashier look once cameras were rolling.

Raquel wore a long-sleeved black top that fell just below her shoulders and revealed a small portion of her toned midriff.

She paired it with baggy black pants and matching understated shoes.

Her highlighted hair was styled into a long bob with thick waves.

Tom wore a gauzy black coat with a nondescript matching shirt underneath, along with baggy pants and chunky black shoes.

He also sported the same well-groomed mustache he’s been sporting lately, and had his jet-black hair brushed back to frame his black sunglasses.

Later that day, Raquel stepped out of a black minivan wearing a glamorous one-shoulder foam-green satin gown.

While the current status of their relationship is unclear, the two seemed happy to see each other and Raquel flashed a soft smile as she spoke to Tom.

The two appeared to be trying to de-stress, and she was seen taking a long drag on a vaping device while Tom eagerly smoked a cigarette between gulps from a can of Diet Coke.

Sweet: Raquel showed a smile when having a candid conversation with Tom, with whom she had a secret relationship for months.

Rising above that: There was no hint of awkwardness between the two, despite the weeks of public shaming they’ve endured from fans and their co-stars.

Under the radar: Both reality stars were clad in funereal black prior to taping, though they were presumably going to switch to a flashier look once cameras rolled.

Back in black: Raquel wore a long-sleeved black top that sat just below her shoulders and revealed a small portion of her toned tummy

Seeing Green: Later that day, Raquel stepped out of a black minivan wearing a glamorous one-shoulder seafoam green satin gown.

The two were preparing to have much more contact later in the day, as a seating chart released by Bravo indicated that they will be sitting next to each other during the taping.

Other Vanderpump Rules stars have begun commenting on the drama with their fashion choices when they arrived on set.

Tom’s ex, Ariana Madix, who discovered his infidelity with Raquel, arrived in a tracksuit with the phrase ‘Sorry, the number you are trying to call has changed’ written in bold capitals.

Scheana Shay, who has denied Raquel’s claims that she punched her in the face after finding out about the affair, was wearing a black sweatshirt that read “Really is everything happening’ when he got to the recording.
