a new season of vanderpump rules It debuted this week, which means that for the next few months, we’ll be enjoying the kind of wacky West Hollywood drama that only former SUR employees can deliver.
The season premiere certainly didn’t disappoint, with a trio of high-profile breakups taking center stage:
Since the finale of the previous season, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney have been divorced; Lala Kent fires Randall Emmett after he is discovered to be cheating; And Raquel Lewis has ended her engagement to James Kennedy.
(All three situations involved infidelity, with Schwartz admitting to infidelity this week, and Kennedy admitting he hooked up with Lala at the beginning of his relationship with Raquel.)
Needless to say, it’s a lot to unpack.
But thankfully, not every couple in the Wander-Verse is constantly cheating on each other.
No, there’s one couple that has stayed faithful to each other over the years — but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been subject to rumors and accusations of bed-hopping.
In fact, some fans are convinced that Tom and Ariana’s relationship is a sham, a smokescreen designed to hide the fact that they are both secretly gay.
Why two progressive West Hollywood residents would feel the need to go to such great lengths to conceal their homosexuality in 2023 is anyone’s guess, but it’s best not to subject wild fan theories to logic or scrutiny.
Anyway, Ariana addressed the rumors last week vanderpump Season 10 Premiere Event.
“I think people see my relationship with Tom as non-traditional in a lot of ways, and they think there’s got to be more to it, you know? [Like] I’m in the closet or Tom is in the closet,” she told Page Six.
Ariana explained that she and Tom have been completely “open” about their relationship on TV, so there’s “really no other layer” to reveal.
She added that the biggest challenges she and Tom will face in the coming season vanderpump This does not involve their sex life, but the opening of Tom’s new restaurant, Schwartz and Sandy’s.
“It’s hard for me when we’re both so busy, but at the same time, it seems, I want the restaurant to be successful,” she explained.
“It’s definitely better now because I can just go to restaurants and really enjoy myself, and I feel great there.”
After the topic was recently brought up, Ariana tweeted, “We are not in an open relationship.” vanderpump trailer. “I’m really not that good. Thought that was obvious. #pamperrules.”

Ariana identifies as bisexual, and it seems some vanderpump Viewers are confused as to what exactly it means.
In 2020, a fan asked Ariana if she “isn’t bi” because she is in a committed relationship.
Maddix replied, “Bisexual ≠ polygamous.”
It’s a little surprising that Ariana here in her 20s needed to explain this, but at least she was cool about it!
