Did Tom Sandoval Cheat on Victoria Lee Robinson? She Cleared Up the Rumors

In the event you've been living under a literal rock, Vanderpump Rules's Tom Sandoval has officially found a new love in his life! Enter: Victoria Lee Robinson, who, according to the reality star, has never watched the hit show (oh, and before you ask, she's also apparently not “familiar with it whatsoever”). However, she DOES seem familiar with all the Scandoval drama, as a recent IG Story posted by the model seemed to allude to his past infidelity. She's since cleared things up, telling fans that Sandoval did not cheat on her and they're still together, but...the drama still deserves a recap, IMO.

On December 15, Victoria raised eyebrows when she posted a now-deleted IG Story reading, "wow... you guys were right. tiger never changes its stripes... he loves the best friends apparently. i feel like a fool. completely heartbroken." She deleted the Story soon after, but not before breakup rumors started circulating.

Just a day later on December 16, Victoria posted a new story clearing up the confusion, as well as her boyfriend's name. "I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous post," she wrote. "I had a true misjudgment in a situation. Tom did not do anything. From my own personal trauma and experiences hearing false accusations about him all the time clouded my judgment and got the best of me." Okay then!

Since the two are still an item after all, now seems like a good time to do a lil deep-dive on Sandoval's girlfriend and everything we know so far. Let's get into it!

They began dating around February 2024.

Or at least, that's when these two decided to make their 'ship ~social media official~ c/o a buncha snaps Sandoval shared on his Instagram Story right around Valentine's Day. The photos in question, you ask? Some cuddly selfies outside the Vanderpump Rules star's restaurant Schwartz & Sandys in which the couple was smiling, wrapping their arms around each other, and kissing.

Oh, and P.S. All these ^^ pics came out around the same time as the duo's first date, which Sandoval described as “very adventurous and a little crazy” on the Billie & the Kid podcast back in February. “This week, my addiction of the week is definitely my friend Victoria that I have been hanging out with. She’s definitely super awesome and she’s one of the sweetest people,” he added.

According to the reality star, he's known his now-girlfriend “for a super long time,” but their relationship had always remained pretty platonic until they ultimately went on a date. “[It was] awesome,” he gushed. “She is just a very sweet, thoughtful person.”

And just a few weeks after his podcast appearance, Sandoval asked Victoria to be his Valentine! Ahem:

She and Sandoval met thanks to Vanderpump Rules.

You totally read that right. 👀 Remember how the VPR cast had a dramatic beach outing in episode 11 of this past season? Yah, well apparently, that day led to these two ultimately connecting IRL.

During an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show, the celeb recalled, “So, at The Waterfront, there were those girls who [Tom Schwartz and I] were talking to at the table...I stayed in contact with one of the girls and then she asked her friend to come to one of my shows.”

Sandoval then added that the girl from the beach and her friend—which wound up being *drumroll, pls* Victoria—“had fun” at his Tom Sandoval & The MOST Extras show, but it wasn't until they happened to run into each other one more time that things took a turn: “We ended up going to do karaoke, came back to my house, [and] we were hanging out. We were just friends, and then we were more than that.”

She's a model.

In case ya didn't know, Victoria is a professional model, who, according to her LinkedIn page, is currently signed to Ford Models.

During that same February Billie & the Kid podcast episode, Sandoval gushed all about how much he loved his girlfriend's work ethic. “She is a model, she works a lot and she is very successful. She does well for herself but she is also very humble and really cool,” he said.

Good! To! Know!!!

She's rumored to have dated Leo.

Yah, like that Leo. During the summer of 2016, the model was romantically linked to the mega-famous actor when the two were spotted leaving a New York City after-party for *checks notes* Justin Bieber’s Purpose tour.

And, yes, Sandoval totally reacted to the speculation during an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show. “I think they dated very briefly,” he confessed before lightheartedly mentioning DiCaprio's penchant for dating women who are sub-25. “Yeah, maybe she aged out or something, I don't know.”

Oh, and she's been to Sandoval's hometown.

Back in May 2024, the couple reached a huge milestone by making the trek to St. Louis, Missouri right after Sandoval made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen (psssst: Victoria fully made a cameo during his segment!). Per the episode, the two had been dating for “three, four months, roughly,” at the time.

During their stay in the reality star's hometown, Sandoval's parents reunited to spend time with them after a Tom Sandoval & The MOST Extras show...and this snap was the ultimate proof that they were all together.

Tom Schwartz approves of the relationship.

In an unsurprising confession, during a February 2appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Sandoval's best friend expressed his approval of the 'ship.

“I have chilled with her,” he confirmed when host Andy Cohen read a fan's question about whether he'd met Victoria aloud. “She is absolutely lovely. Obviously, devastatingly good-looking, super successful, and she is very charming. I approve on all levels.”

The more you know!!!
