It’s time for the Toms to hit the road. I wish I was referring to Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz getting the pink slip from Vanderpump Rules. But alas, I am not.
At the height of Scandoval, it seemed as if the long-term besties might not survive. Schwartz even went as far as to publicly criticize his business partner for the impact Scandoval had on their restaurant. But once the dust settled, these two settled right back into their rock-solid friendship. Which is now taking them to exotic locales.
Celebrating life
Sandoval, who most recently appeared on the reality competition, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, divulged to E! that he has plans to get away. And he’s bringing Schwartz and another friend, jeweler Kyle Chan. You might remember Kyle as the designer of the unique engagement ring Schwartz gave his now ex-wife, Katie Maloney.
Sandoval shared, “After going through this and how things have sort of calmed down a little bit, it’s really great to just be able to hang out and celebrate life.” It’s unclear if “this” was referring to his time on Special Forces, Scandoval, or maybe both. But the veteran reality star didn’t elaborate.
Big plans overseas: Schwartz and Sandy hit Bangkok
Instead, he talked about his plans. “Kyle was really there for me through all of this. Me and Schwartz wanted to take him on a trip, so we’re going to Hong Kong and Bangkok and Singapore. And I’m really excited for that,” he enthused.
Sandoval continued, “We’re going to head to Hong Kong and spend New Year’s in Bangkok, and then come back after the beginning of the year and then hit 2024 and be off to the races.”
Whether this trip is deserved or not isn’t the question. Sandoval will likely need this break before being thrown right back into the lion’s den when VPR Season 11 premieres. And we love to see it.
Vanderpump Rules Season 11 will return to Bravo in January 2024.
