Things are finally looking up for Ariana Madix, as the Vanderpump Rules beloved star has just taken a major step forward by seemingly moving items out of her shared home with her now ex-Tom Sandoval. After Tom’s months-long affair with Raquel Leviss came to the light, Ariana promptly ended her nearly nine-year-long relationship with the cheating bartender turned cover band performer. In the season 10 finale, Ariana and Tom shared an emotional final fight in their shared living room, discussing the specifics of Tom’s dalliances with Raquel. Around this timeframe, they each took up residences within separate rooms of their home, using a mutual friend to aid with their severed communication.
Poking fun of Tom Sandoval’s usage of the word “dipped out,” Ariana shared a video to her stories, which was re-posted by @_surrules. In this, Ariana joked “ready to dip out.”
Through an exclusive, via Page Six, several images showing helping hands in the driveway of the former couples shared farmhouse, loading boxes into a U-Haul truck, quickly began to circulate, Once the loading was complete, Ariana was seen entering into a nearby vehicle, which then promptly drove 15 minutes away to a different home. “Ariana is relieved to get out of that house,” divulged a source to Page Six, adding, “She is ready to begin a new chapter.”
In a shocking twist, hours after Ariana hinted that she’s moving, using an elaborate system of a source, boxes, a U-Haul, and a second home, she took to her stories again to clarify, saying, “I’m moving up, not out. Well not yet at least. It’s time to get my financial house in order. ” Ariana was actually in cahoots with SoFi, a personal finance company, as she donned a sweatshirt with their logo and later posted a recap on their services. It seems that Ariana’s “moving out” was an elaborate marketing stunt, which could be part of her attempt to get her “financial house in order.”
Currently, Tom Sandoval was spotted at the airport, flying out of L.A. Though Tom is likely aware of Ariana’s actions, his absence is probably the main reason Ariana chose today to move boxes labeled “finances” out. At this point in time, a for sale sign has not yet materialized anywhere around their sprawling five-bedroom, 4,453-square-foot home, however, Ariana’s moving of anything out of this home is at least a step in the right direction for the two former partners. Meanwhile, Tom has not spoken out on anything involving their home, but as he has yet to shy away from interviews, his statement is likely not far off.
Earlier, Alex Baskin, the executive producer of VPR, stated that the cast was receiving a small break in filming, due to new revelations unearthed during the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion. However, in this, he went on to assert that should anything big occur during this break, specifically Ariana moving out of her home with Tom, that the camera’s would pick-back up immediately. That said, zero cameras were spotted within the images seen, further supporting this move being yet another booked gig with a sponsored company. However, Ariana is at least making steps forwards with her finances, therefore, her glow-up on Vanderpump Rules season 11 will likely be bright.
