Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval are mourning the loss of Ali Rafiq.
The Vanderpump Rules stars—who split earlier this year amid news Sandoval cheated with co-star Raquel Leviss—paid tribute to the late photographer who was a close friend to each.
“The love I have for you is way beyond words I will carry u forever in my heart,” Sandoval wrote alongside on Instagram May 21 featuring photos of the two together. “Always cherishing the beautiful memories, uncontrollable laughter, and epic experiences we had together. You were My best friend, my brother. I’ll catch u on the next sunrise…5min/5hour 5or500.”
Madix also reflected on her time spent over the years with the cinematographer.
“I keep wanting to text you,” she wrote in an Instagram Story post, per Entertainment Tonight. “It feels like this can’t even be real. we were just planning your trip to LA. talking about our futures and all the things we were looking forward to. i miss our talks about life. i miss sending each other cat memes. i miss geeking out over food. or dj videos.”
