Ariana Madix Claims She’s ‘Thriving’ After Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss Treachery


People said that Ariana Madix is “thriving” after her messy breakup with longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, which happened because of his months-long affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss.

People magazine caught up with the Vanderpump Rules star at Coachella over the weekend. Associate producer Farai Bennett asked her how she’s been doing since the sad news that Sandoval and Leviss were having an affair.

Madix, who is 37 years old, told Bennett in an exclusive video that she feels “amazing.” When Bennett asked her if she was “thriving,” the reality star said, “Yes!”

Bennett then used Madix’s own words from when she spoke up about Sandoval’s cheating and said, “What doesn’t kill me better run,” to which Madix answered, “F*** yeah!”

During the Coachella weekend, Madix seemed happy and was even seen getting close to her personal trainer, Daniel Wai.

A month ago, Madix’s heart broke when she saw a private video of Leviss on Sandoval’s phone. Since then, Sandoval and Madix, who dated for nine years, broke up, and Sandoval and Leviss are both going to therapy.

A source informed People in early March that Tom has been sleeping next to Ariana in bed for at least six months. She had no idea this was going to happen. Devastated doesn’t even begin to describe how she feels.
