Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss has taken plenty of warmth for her season 10 hookups with Tom Schwartz. But in accordance with the 28-year-old mannequin, she did loads of relationship round within the months that adopted her December 2021 break up from James Kennedy, 31.
As Tom, 40, admitted that their rendezvous was “a little disrespectful” to ex-wife Katie Maloney, 36, and James stated Raquel “certainly spread her wings,” Raquel confirmed she’s not seeking to calm down — and famous that she’s having fun with her single life.
“I’ve dated around. I’ve had a few, like, flings and casual stuff and I’m not really looking for anything serious [right now],” she instructed Us Weekly on February 7. “I kind of like being single and doing my own thing. I feel like I’m dating myself. I feel like I really only recently started figuring out who I am as a person and what I really, really like and what I don’t like. So I don’t think that I’m ready to settle down anytime soon.”
Instead, Raquel needs to proceed having enjoyable after taking the title of “makeout sl-t” from Tom.
“Schwartz and I only made out, so, I’m literally just like a makeout sl-t,” Raquel admitted. “[We only] made out a few times. It was fun, I enjoyed it. I think he did too.”
While Raquel and Tom might have loved their time collectively, it didn’t come as excellent news to Katie, who shaded her as a “fan girl.”
“We’re not in the best place,” Raquel stated of herself and Katie. “I ran into her on Sunday and I figured I would be like the bigger person and at least break the ice and go over there and say hi. And it was like a ‘death glare’ straight through my soul. So I was like, ‘OK, I feel like I just need to like back off and give you some space.’ Clearly, I really hurt her and that wasn’t my intention at all.”
“I’m just navigating single life and thought that Schwartz might be someone cool to pursue something with. So it sucks, but it is what it is,” she added.
In one other interview with Page Six eventually week’s Pump Rules premiere social gathering, after confirming she and Tom are “really good friends,” Raquel advised their romance was minimize quick by Katie.
“As far as a romantic thing, it was more his decision to not pursue that. I think Katie had a big reasoning as to why. But I respect his decision, and I gained a really good friendship out of it,” she shared.
Then, after James stated Raquel “certainly spread her wings and flew away” after their breakup, and hinted her hookup with Tom was what led to his trailer-teased drink toss, Tom confirmed he doesn’t remorse his encounters with Raquel.
“It was only a kiss. I don’t regret it,” he defined. “Now, if we want to get into some of the intricacies, maybe the timing was a little disrespectful. In the moment, I was so caught up in my own little world. Something was in the air. … I regretted it in the sense that it hurt some people that I care a lot about, like maybe James and Katie — not so much James, but Katie.”
When requested for an replace on her and Tom’s relationship, Katie stated the 2 of them are “good.”
“It’s just been a process to find that foundation of our friendship that is healthy for us both and not crossing any boundaries,” she revealed. “We are still in each other’s lives, and we want to be. He’s still like my family, and I still have love for the guy.”
And throughout her personal interview with Us Weekly, Katie stated that with regards to Raquel, she is staying “very far away.”
“Some things are just not meant to be, and our friendship is probably one of them,” she added.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
