Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix have been dating since 2014 after confirming their status during the series’ season 2 reunion.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns seemed to have caused a rift in some couples, Tom and Ariana experienced quite the opposite. The pair bonded by finding new activities together, as Tom explained to Us Weekly in August 2020.
“We’ve been, like cooking dinner and stuff more and doing like hang sessions and putting puzzles together, and Legos and doing some, like, creative stuff,” the reality star explained. “I know it can be rough being locked down with somebody all the time, but it’s been nice. We have our own things going on, but we’ve been doing stuff together.”

In a 2016 interview with the Daily Dish, Ariana opened up about how she and her boyfriend aren’t focused on marriage.
“I want to be with him and we have a lot of future plans together,” the Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader actress explained. “They don’t necessarily involve walking down an aisle and saying vows, but we really want to buy a house together. That’s something that we’ve been really saving our money for, and we really want to travel the world together and that’s something that’s really important to both of us. And hopefully it all happens.”
In addition to her stance on marriage, Ariana also discussed her view on having children.
“I don’t want kids or marriage,” the reality star said. However, she insisted, “I actually really love kids, and I’m a big sister, and I have a lot of small children in my family.”
