NextImg:Tom Sandoval: Raquel Leviss and I are ‘taking a break’ from sexual relationship

Tom Sandoval finally divulged his current relationship status with Raquel Leviss, admitting they are on “a break.”

The cover band frontman told “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast listeners Tuesday that he and his “Vanderpump Rules” co-star are still “good friends” in the wake of their months-long affair, which has been dubbed Scandoval.

“We’re not putting any label on it,” he said. “We’re just kind of taking a break.”

When Howie Mandel asked Sandoval, 40, whether he and Leviss, 28, are friends “with benefits,” the bar owner denied that he currently has a sexual relationship with the former pageant queen.

“I don’t know where our relationship is going to be,” she said while sitting outside of a nail salon. “We’re just kind of trying to … make amends, hear everybody out … [and] seeing where it goes.”

Leviss clarified that she wasn’t “putting a label” on their status.

Three weeks prior, Leviss told her Instagram followers that she had “sincere” and “loving” feelings for Sandoval.

“I care for Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead,” she wrote on March 9. “Right now I need to heal.”

The former occupational therapy student was also spotted at Sandoval’s shared home with Madix — although his rep denied it was an overnight visit.

Additionally, Sandoval drove Leviss to the airport earlier this month.
