Ariana Madix may not have a boyfriend anymore, but she does have a village of supporters rallying around her in this tough time!
According to a source for People on Tuesday, Ariana’s friends and Vanderpump Rules co-stars have been by her side ever since news broke that she and Tom Sandoval split due to his affair with Raquel Leviss. Per this insider, the cast has both publicly and privately taken the 37-year-old’s side, they revealed:
“Ariana has not been alone at all since this happened. She’s had a ton of support around her. All of the girls in their friend group are taking turns visiting her around the clock at her house. Everyone’s rallying around her.”
This support is probably especially helpful considering Ariana and Tom are STILL living together!! Yup, you read that right!

According to a rep for the TomTom co-owner on Monday, he and his ex are “still living together” in their Valley Village home since they will need a lot more time to figure out who gets what post-breakup. The source detailed:
“They own the house together, and what happens next with the property will take time to sort out. This isn’t something that’s going to be decided in a weekend.”
That said, others are nearby! The first source confirmed that the cast lives about five minutes from each other, with many in the same LA complex. Raquel, on the other hand, did recently move, the insider noted:
“It’s very Melrose Place vibes with this cast.”
We bet there are some major pros and cons to living so close, but at least it makes it easy for Ariana’s friends to be by her side right now! This includes Kristen Doute who has not only been very vocal online since the breakup drama made headlines, but is also reportedly in talks to return to the show to discuss the situation on camera! Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Charli Burnett, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, and Jax Taylor have also all been outspoken in Madix’s favor. Wow! It’s suuuuper telling when pretty much the whole cast is on the same side!

As we’ve been following, the couple was dating for nine years when they suddenly called off their relationship last week. According to reports, Ariana found an inappropriate video and texts on Tom’s phone last Wednesday — only to discover he had been cheating on her with Raquel for “upwards of 6 months” while also “sleeping next to Ariana in bed”!! The source told People on Friday:
“Ariana had been there for Raquel when she went through her split with James [Kennedy]. She thought they were friends. This isn’t something you do to a friend.”
Tom has since broken his silence — but he did NOT apologize to Ariana. Sigh. Bravo has already restarted production on the latest season of the reality TV show to capture all the dramatic moments as they go down IRL, so just get ready for it all to air on screen soon! In the meantime, thoughts? Sound OFF (below)!
