Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix cuts a loose figure as she buys booze while cheating ex Tom Sandoval flexes his muscles during season 11 filming

Vanderpump Rules Season 11 has begun filming and given the recent events of Scandoval, it promises to be one of the most dramatic seasons on the long-running reality show.

For one, ex-partners Ariana Madix, 38, and Tom Sandoval, 40, must continue to be together and witness their drama on camera.

Both were spotted separately this week while filming continued. Ariana was spotted leaving Total Wine with a case full of alcohol in Los Angeles.

She wore a black zip-front hoodie, black leggings and black sneakers. Her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail.

Sandoval, on the other hand, was spotted engrossed in his phone during a break in shooting in brown shorts, a black tank top and red mules.

The exes dated for nine years before Ariana found out Sandoval was having an affair with her friend and Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss, 28.

The aftermath of the scandal affected several cast members, including Tom Schwartz, 40, his ex-wife and Ariana’s business partner Katie Maloney, 36, the very vocal Lala Kent, 32, and Scheana Shay, 38.

Before Sandoval dropped out with Racquel, he and Schwartz were practically close.

Not only were they best friends, they were also business partners at hip Los Angeles restaurant and bar Schwartz and Sandy’s.

But after the drama, the longtime friends took a break and, in fact, they only got together again this week to try the water.

The two men were spotted walking down the street together on July 14 while cameras rolled the 11th season of their hit reality show.

Last month, on the podcast When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany, Schwartz said he became an “unhappy confidant” with Sandoval during his affair with Raquel and felt “exploited.”

“He made a big mess and came over to our house to clean up, do business, etc.” “It’s hard for us not to hold grudges,” Schwartz said.

“The lack of remorse… I know he regrets it, but he doesn’t do a good job of showing it.” He has to give up the ego, the hard humility. “When you have a full-blown affair, your side of the story ceases to exist,” he added.

“I feel like he took advantage of me.” I took everything he said about Ariana to heart. He needs to lose his ego and say, I’m sorry, no, I’m sorry, but…” he admitted.

While Scandoval surfaced in March, Sandoval and Raquel have been involved since last summer.

Ariana opened up about the affair to Scheana and Katie, shocking them and revealing it all happened while grieving the death of her beloved dog, Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Raquel has been in a psychiatric facility since the airing of the explosive Season 10 reunion special.

TMZ reported that she checked out of the Arizona facility about a week ago and stayed with a friend because she was “uneasy” about getting there.

While at the facility, she collected a $200,000 bill and it was revealed that she was contracted to appear in the new season of “Vanderpump Rules.”

The former beauty queen has also made another change — she’s using her birth name Rachel again.
