After 12 years of marriage, Vanderpump Rules alums Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney finalized their divorce in 2022. Alas, the bubbas were no more. Navigating their split took some time, as did recovering from Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal. As you may recall, Tom was swept up into Sandoval’s messy behavior because he knew about Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss. So, what is Katie and Tom’s relationship like today?
Where do Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz stand today?
Recently, Katie was a guest on the podcast, Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia. While Katie and Tom previously shared custody of their two beloved dogs, Gordo and Butters, that arrangement has now changed. “We still have the dogs, and they primarily live with him. I love those guys so much that like,” Katie stated, “I can’t never see them. So we mostly talk about the dogs and … it was really intense.”
As for Katie’s friendship with her ex-husband? “We’re cool. But like, we don’t get lunch,” she explained. Which is a pity because Katie and Ariana Madix own a sandwich shop, Something About Her. Meanwhile, Katie has moved on with guitarist Nick Martin of the band Sleeping with Sirens.
Plus, Tom previously met Nick, and he is a fan. “I met Nick and he’s so cool, so down to earth. And obviously a rock star,” Tom quipped. “Listen, I love seeing her happy. If she’s happy, I’m happy,” he added.
As for Tom? He was hit hard by the closing of his bar in December 2024, Schwartz & Sandy’s. Sandoval was Tom’s partner, but due to Scandoval, he took a step back. “It was like perpetual, constant anxiety – when you’re hemorrhaging money. And you know that this place with your name on the side of the building is not doing as well,” Tom previously said.
Right now, Tom isn’t dating, but he has a special someone that he loves “hanging out with.”
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
