Watch Jax Taylor’s Explosive Return to Vanderpump Rules
The BCU (Bravo Cinematic Universe) was rocked on March 3, 2023, with the confirmation that Tom and Ariana had ended their nine-year relationship after it was revealed that he had a seven-month affair with Raquel.
“I made errors, acted selfishly, and made thoughtless choices that caused harm to someone I care about,” stated the TomTom co-owner in an apology posted on Instagram on March 8. “No one should have to endure such pain so publicly and traumatically.”
He went on to say, “My deepest regret is that I disrespected Ariana. I never intended to disappoint so many individuals, including our families and friends.
Raquel also publicly apologized to Ariana, acknowledging that she had no justification for her actions. In a subsequent statement, Raquel discussed the status of her relationship with Tom.
“I need to prioritize my well-being, focus on personal growth, and take time to find contentment in solitude,” Raquel shared with E! News. “I have feelings for Tom, and I am not rushing to define or predict the future. Right now, I need to focus on healing.”
