Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix break up after he’s caught cheating with Raquel Leviss

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix have broken up after he allegedly cheated on his longtime girlfriend with their “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Raquel Leviss, sources tell Page Six.

An insider tells us, “It’s true that they split and cameras are rolling.”

A source close to production adds, ““The majority of the cast is expected to gather and film tomorrow to share their reactions to Raquel and Sandoval’s affair. Mostly everyone is shook and completely heartbroken for Ariana.”

Insiders also told TMZ Friday that Madix, 37, called it quits with Sandoval, 39, when she found out about the alleged infidelity earlier this week.

Reps for the former couple, Leviss and Bravo did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Just two days ago, Madix appeared to be a supportive girlfriend by attending Sandoval’s show with his cover band, Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras, in Los Angeles.

The blonde beauty — who has been dating her co-star since 2014 — appeared in good spirits and was seen smiling at the event.

However, Madix’s Instagram account was suspiciously deactivated on Friday amid news of the cheating scandal breaking.

According to TMZ, producers of the hit Bravo reality show immediately ramped up filming again to record the fallout from the alleged cheating scandal.

The intention is reportedly to capture some of the drama for the end of Season 10, which is currently airing.

In this season’s first few episodes, Leviss has been in the middle of another love triangle with the now-divorced Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, who is BFFs and business partners with Sandoval.

The former pageant contestant — who previously dated DJ James Kennedy — admitted to wanting to make out and then doing so in the months thereafter with the new divorcée.

However, in a peculiar twist of events, Leviss admitted on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” during a press tour this week that she thinks Sandoval is hotter than Schwartz. Her response even shocked host Andy Cohen.

Leviss, Sandoval and Madix have not yet addressed the cheating rumors.

However, several “Vanderpump Rules” cast members have taken to social media to speak out on the scandal, including Kennedy.

“Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything,” the DJ, who was previously engaged to Leviss, wrote on Instagram Friday.

Meanwhile, Madix’s brother, Jeremy Madix, wrote in a lengthy comment under that post, “It’s funny to watch people social climb and be soooooooo fake that they’re willing to s–t on people that are supposed to be their ‘best friend’ ( a term that gets thrown around very often around here) all just to come up or have some sort of story line.”

He continued, “This lifestyle and this group is beyond toxic and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. All just for clout from a corny ass network like BravoTV 😂.”

Jeremy then went on to slam his sister’s ex, writing, “Toms a try hard having a midlife crisis with his cringy band and Raquel has faked her way to the top trying to make something of her life willing to step on whoever to get there [sic] starting with James.

He concluded, “Sell out type lame s–t. Let’s all remember that Raquel was a fan of the show before all of this. Does anyone pay attention?”

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
