No, Ariana Madix will not raise a glass to reuniting with ex Tom Sandoval.
The former couple has the iciest of interactions while coming face to face for the first time since their 2023 breakup in an incredibly uncomfortable sneak peek at upcoming episodes for Vanderpump Rules season 11.
During a day at the beach with their costars, the TomTom co-owner attempts interacting with his ex-partner of nine years, saying, "According to your rules, Ariana..." before she interrupts him, "Don't speak to me. Don't speak to me," and walks away.
Later, during a cast trip to San Francisco, Madix once again dodges filming with Sandoval at a black tie gala. "He doesn't give a f--k if I f--king died in a ditch," she rants, before he tells Scheana Shay, Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz behind her back, "Ariana, she f--king talks s--t about all you f--kers."
Sandoval even approaches Madix's new boyfriend Daniel Wai during the same event, much to her shock. But it doesn't seem like the fitness coach has any intention of befriending the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras frontman in the wake of his affair with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.

When Kent asks Wai, "If Ariana's ex were to come up and be like, 'Hey, dude, I'm Sandoval,' what would you do?" Wai answers, "I know what he's done."
Madix and Sandoval aren't the only duo navigating awkward encounters. Shay and husband Brock Davies are seemingly questioning their future, with the Scheananigans podcast host telling him through tears, "I don't think you and I are gonna be together forever."
Plus, Shay admits Sandoval's betrayal last season has affected her in more ways than just the loss of their friendship.
"I now have f--ked-up thoughts about Brock and Lala, one of my best friends, because I'm like, 'Oh my God, could someone do that to me?'" she tells her former best friend. "You did that!"

Ariana Madix & Daniel Wai Are Going Strong
Several days after Vanderpump Rules' explosive reunion concluded June 7, Ariana Madix jetted off to NYC for some early birthday celebrations with her new man Daniel Wai.
The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in April when they were spotted making out at Coachella, attended Governors Ball Music Festival together with friends before heading out to party the night away on June 11.
Madix's costars even gave their stamp of approval on her new boyfriend.
"The way that I witnessed him treat her, I've honestly—not even in the beginning of her relationship with Tom—ever seen her light up the way she does when he gets around her, when she talks about him," Scheana Shay exclusively told E! News in May. "It's been really, really amazing to just see her so happy."
Lala Kent added, "Just the way that she talks about him, her energy is just completely different. I'm so happy for her, because as an outsider, I was watching her and her relationship, just really feeling for her."
Tom Sandoval Defends T-Shirt Sex Comment About Ariana Madix
After receiving criticism from both fans and his castmates for calling out Madix for wearing a T-shirt during sex, Tom Sandoval insisted his words were never intended to be a dig at his ex's physical appearance.

Tom Schwartz Distances Himself From Scandoval
On the June 12 episode of Fox's reality show Stars on Mars, Sandoval's BFF Tom Schwartz revealed he wants to distance himself from his business partner's "incredibly messed up" affair.
"It seems each time I try to weigh in or talk about, ramble on about it, drivel on, I inevitably sound like I'm somehow justifying it or making excuses for it, and I'm not," he shared. "Any sort of version of his side of the story has become obsolete because of the way he handled it. Ultimately, that's his life. That is his life. I did not have an affair. I am not him. It's just so strange that I've been absolutely mired in this. It's taken on almost a life of its own. And after this, I'm stepping away from it permanently."
Raquel Leviss Enters Treatment

But when I watched that, I was like, 'Oh, we're maybe dealing with someone who maybe shouldn't be on this type of platform.'"
