Tom Sandoval was MIA for the first few days of production on Vanderpump Rules season 11 thanks to being busy filming another reality show: Fox’s Special Forces. And according to Sandoval’s co-star Nick Viall, he spent his time showing pictures of Rachel Leviss to the cast. Which…strongly implies they hadn’t ended things when Special Forces was filming at the end of June.
“He snuck in pictures of him and Rachel,” Nick said on Thursday’s episode of his podcast, The Viall Files (via Page Six). “And he showed them to the cast, for what’s that worth.”

Nick added that Sandoval went “out of his way to bring in endearing photos” of him and Rachel, adding he “came across as a guy who cared about her, and I’m just saying that objectively. Honestly, the conversations with the cast were kinda, like, ‘Well, fuck, you might as well go for it.’ There seemed to be some real reluctance about would the public would allow them to be together.”
A source previously told Page Six that Rachel had ended things with Sandoval in May, saying “Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her.” It’s unclear where their relationship stands now that they’re both back in Los Angeles and Vanderpump Rules Season 11 is in production—and it’s unclear if Rachel is even filming the show at the moment, despite being on contract!
