Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval have officially offloaded their Los Angeles home three years after their dramatic breakup.
Us Weekly confirmed on Friday, May 8, that the Vanderpump Rules alums quietly sold the home that they bought together in 2019 to new owners for $3.1 million. (TMZ was first to report the news.)
The former couple, who called it quits in March 2023 after Sandoval, 43, was busted having an affair with their then-costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, bought the house in 2019 for $2 million.
Following their split after nine years together, Madix, 40, and Sandoval were embroiled in more drama as they battled over the home.
In the aftermath of the cheating scandal, Sandoval spoke about continuing to live in the 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom property during an appearance on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast in April 2023.
“I don’t have a lot of friends I can stay with right now. … I kind of run the house,” he said. “I handle the gardening [and] the housekeeping. My assistant comes and cleans and stocks everything. I basically run everything in the house.”
Sandoval shared on the podcast that he and Madix used a mediator to communicate at the time.
“[Ariana’s] in the house. This is a big house. We have a go-between. We text when we’re coming and going,” he continued. “The house is not listed yet, no. [Ariana’s] really busy right now, she’s obviously blowing up. I’m really happy to see that. I’ve been busy as well trying to get things together.”
In January, Us Weekly confirmed that Madix and Sandoval settled the legal battle over the sale of their shared home.
The former couple reached an agreement on January 13, when the Love Island USA host filed a notice of settlement of the entire case in Los Angeles Superior Court. According to the filing, the dismissal of the case is “conditional” and would require “the satisfactory completion of specified terms” within 30 days of the date of the settlement.
Madix joined the Vanderpump Rules cast in November 2013. Madix and Sandoval announced they were dating during the show’s season two reunion in February 2014.
In December 2018, they told Us that they would likely never get engaged and wanted to spend their money on a home together instead.
“To me, we’d rather put our money in that investment than, to us, marriage or a wedding and all that, an expensive ring,” Sandoval told Us at the time.
The former couple spoke to BravoTV in May 2019 about incorporating their own personalities into decorating their home.
“I feel like normally when it comes to decor in a house with a guy and a girl, it can be very like, ‘Okay, the girl just kind of does everything, the guy is like, I just added this one thing,’” Sandoval told the outlet. “But we obviously both have very strong personalities. You see a nice mix of Ariana and myself in there.”
Madix added, “We definitely had moments where one of us is really adamant about something, and the other one is not really feeling it. You compromise on those moments.”
