Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz’s friendship started before filming “Vanderpump Rules” as they shared an apartment with Jax Taylor. However, Taylor was the third wheel as it was all about Tom². Their bromance really blossomed after Schwartz became a full-time cast member in Season 3. The bartender had previously featured mainly as Katie Maloney’s boyfriend and Sandoval’s BFF roomie, and the cameras offered a peek into the chaotic and cluttered bachelor pad they shared together.
“It’s so funny because, even before the world saw that apartment, that was after a makeover,”Sandoval said of his dingy little apartment (which Ariana Madix’s brother Jeremy Madix now inhabits, per Bravo) in an interview on the “So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey”podcast.
Sandoval went on to explain his strong and genuine bond with Schwartz to podcast host Ryan Bailey. Sandoval confirmed that he and Schwartz are just as tight off-camera as on; they’re like the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon of reality TV. “The reality is that we’re very, very, close,” he told Bailey. “We text numerous times throughout pretty much every single day. We’re very, very, very close.” But, now that the two have enjoyed the fame of “Vanderpump Rules” over the last decade, will Sandoval and Schwartz’s friendship continue to grow?
