Ariana Madix showed up on Call Her Daddy for a tell-all interview on all things Scandoval, and yep—she was asked about the completely wild, unverified, and untrue rumor floating around that Raquel Leviss is pregnant with Tom Sandoval’s baby.
To backtrack real quick: this rumor cropped up in a since-removed TikTok, and it pretty much spread like wildfire—especially amid news that there will be new revelations in the Vanderpump Rules reunion.
And in response to host Alex Cooper asking about all ^ this ^, Ariana apparently somewhat cryptically said “I don’t think so. I’ve talked to our show runners. I think I know what the deal is, but I’m not entirely sure.”
Meanwhile, “numerous sources” shut down the Raquel pregnancy rumor to Entertainment Tonight, saying “Raquel is not pregnant.” One source in particular noted that “People need to stop listening to unknown people on social media. Raquel has been away seeking help at a mental health treatment facility, not in hiding.” Another source added that “rumors need to stop so everyone can heal and move forward.”
Meanwhile, Tom Sandoval has been spending time with Karlee Hale, but an insider tells ET they aren’t dating and that “He’s been focusing on his band and what his new future will look like.” Oh and another insider (SO MANY INSIDERS) says, “Tom is not dating anyone right now. The rumors need to stop so everyone can heal and move forward. Tom’s focused on himself and figuring out what he wants next out of life.”
Reminder to watch the VPR reunion tonight, not that you need reminding of such an important cultural event!
