“It’s going to be interesting!” Vanderpump Rules villain Tom Sandoval makes cheeky joke as he returns to film season 11 of the hit show – but WILL NOT reveal if he’s spoken to ex Raquel Leviss
Tom Sandoval made a cheeky joke as he returned to action on the set of Vanderpump Rules for the first time since production on Season 11 began this week – following his fling with Raquel Leviss.
The restaurateur, who delivered a bouquet of flowers to boss Lisa Vanderpump at her now-closed Pump restaurant, told photographers he had already returned to work.
“I’m filming now,” he said Thursday, a day before his 41st birthday.
“It’s going to be interesting anyway. It always is.’
The reality star was spotted leaving a hair salon in Los Angeles on Friday ahead of any birthday celebrations he may have planned.
When asked if he had been in contact with Leviss, 28, with whom he had had an affair behind ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix’s back, the TomTom co-founder replied: “I can’t comment on that.”
