The relationship between the two reality TV stars has been the subject of much speculation and drama, which we will unpack in the timeline below. The couple had been together for five years and were engaged, but rumors of an affair with Tom Schwartz and other infidelities ultimately led to their split.
The timeline begins in November 2016 when Raquel made her debut on Vanderpump Rules as James Kennedy’s new girlfriend. In May 2021, James proposed to Raquel at a mini music festival funded by Sandoval. In December 2021, James and Raquel announced their separation. In April 2022, rumors began to circulate that Raquel was spotted making out with Tom Schwartz at Coachella, which Kristen Doute believes was the true start of the affair.
In August 2022, the affair allegedly began when Raquel crashed a girls’ trip to Las Vegas and Lake Havasu and felt bullied enough to cut the trip short. In September 2022, cracks in the story began to appear when James Kennedy’s new girlfriend spotted Raquel and Tom dancing at the Abbey at one in the morning. In March 2023, explicit recordings of Sandoval and Raquel were found on Tom’s phone, leading to the public revelation of the affair and the couple’s subsequent breakup.
The timeline of Tom and Raquel’s relationship is filled with drama and speculation, but ultimately, it seems that their relationship was not meant to last. The breakup has been the subject of much discussion among fans of Vanderpump Rules, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for both Tom and Raquel.
