Tom Sandoval is shutting down the rumor mill after rumors began to swirl that he is dating Texas influencer, Karlee Hale.
On Tuesday, Tom Sandoval’s rep said that the Vanderpump Rules star is “just friends” with Hale.
The rep told TMZ:
“[He] recently hung out with her because he happened to be in Austin performing with his band.”
Sandoval has been spotted with Hale numerous times over the last month, so people naturally began to assume the two were an item.
The Bravoleb and Hale were seen grabbing dinner together in Austin at The Peacock. They were also spotted shopping and working out together at Equinox in Austin.
It’s unclear how Tom Sandoval and Hale met or became friendly.
One source allegedly met Sandoval and Hale at the gym in May 2023. According to @theBravobabe, the source claims Sandoval said:
“I’m visiting a girl I’m dating, I’m from LA; all the crazy women drove me out of there.”
Over the last few months, Tom Sandoval has made headlines since his eight-month-long affair with Raquel Leviss came to light in early March. The two announced their split last week ahead of the Vanderpump Rules season ten finale episode.
Since then, Sandoval has fled the country. The 40-year-old has left the country ahead of the Vanderpump Rules season ten reunion airing on Bravo this week.
Tom was spotted at the International terminal at LAX on Monday. It’s unclear where Tom is traveling to, but it’s not surprising he’s getting away, considering the heat he will probably receive on social media as the three-part reunion begins to air.
Part one of the Vanderpump Rules season ten reunion airs on Wednesday at 8 pm on Bravo.
