Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz explains improved relationship with Katie post-divorce

Tom Schwartz revealed that his relationship with ex-wife Katie Maloney has made strides after their divorce.

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney were a long-standing couple on Vanderpump Rules, and finalized their divorce in October 2022.

Although the exes were hoping to remain friendly after their split, Tom betrayed Katie by making out with Raquel Leviss when he was asked not to date anyone in the group.

When the news of “Scandoval” came out, Katie was angry with Tom for not being honest about the details of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel.

Katie was disappointed in Tom for not having her back and hiding the fact that he knew about Tom and Raquel’s cheating scandal the whole time.

Tom says his relationship with Katie has “evolved”

On the podcast When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany, Tom said that viewers will see his relationship with Katie improve on Vanderpump Rules Season 11.

“Well, me and Katie are cordial… I think it’s going to be really fun for viewers to see how Katie and I’s post-divorce relationship has evolved,” he explained.

Host Jax Taylor told Tom that he appreciates the way he handles the little digs Katie throws at him, bringing up the iconic moment from BravoCon 2023 where she said Tom’s outfit looked like a “couch.”

“That stuck with me. I’m like, ‘How can you say something like that?'” Jax asked his friend. “That was the sweetest thing she’s said to me in years,” Tom replied, making light of Katie’s comment.

Tom and Katie have had their ups and downs on Vanderpump Rules, but viewers will be happy to see them on good terms again.

In the upcoming season, Tom and Katie are involved in a love triangle with Tori Keeth, which will test their relationship as exes.

The Vanderpump Rules stars were together for 12 years, and still share custody of their dogs, Gordo and Butter.

Whether Tom and Katie continue to be cordial is unknown, depending on the drama that unfolds as Vanderpump Rules Season 11 airs.

Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
