Tom Sandoval Reacts to Ex Ariana Madix Kissing New Man at Coachella
"Vanderpump Rules" star Tom Sandoval has reacted to the news about his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix moving on with a new man. Sandoval and Madix had broken up after nine years together after he cheated on her with Raquel Leviss.
According to Page Six, Sandoval told TMZ Tuesday that he was "really happy" that Madix was moving on from their split.
He added that he "loves that" when asked about the photos of Madix kissing fitness trainer Daniel Wai at Coachella. Sandoval had already moved on from the relationship while he was still with Madix.
Madix was spotted enjoying a performance during the Palm Springs music festival over the weekend. The pair were seen kissing and hugging before the fitness trainer went to New York City.
The reality star said she feels "amazing" after her breakup with Sandoval despite having difficulties in the earlier months.
On the other hand, Sandoval and Leviss seemed to have placed a halt on their blossoming relationship amid the continued fallout from her affair with him.

Tom Sandoval recently said in a "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" podcast that they are currently not putting a label on their relationship, referring to his romance with Raquel Leviss.
He also emphasized that they have no physical relationship at the moment. The actor revealed that he and Leviss had hit the brakes on their sexual relationship after their months-long affair was exposed last month.
Insiders close to Sandoval and Leviss told TMZ Monday that the two had picked fake basic names for one another, with Sandoval naming her as "Jamie" on his phone contacts.
Sources claimed that those around them even knew about the fake names, with Sandoval calling Leviss "Jamie" on occasion, Daily Mail reported.

ET reported that Leviss chose to enter a mental health treatment facility before their affair was discovered.
A source noted that Leviss and her family decided that she would enter the voluntary facility for mental health counseling before the affair was revealed.
After the affair was exposed to the public, Leviss released a statement saying she was looking at her own behavior and "speaking to a counselor."
