Tom Schwartz says he never gave Raquel Leviss a chance

Are you making up for lost time?

Tom Schwartz called “Vanderpump Rules” Raquel Leviss “cool as st” in a Scheana Shay podcast just weeks before the pair reportedly got married.

In the July 22 episode “Scheananigans”, 39-year-old Schwartz opened up about his divorce from Katie Maloney and revealed that their relationship may have caused him to overlook Leviss.

“I was so engrossed in my own little world and got married – never took the time to get to know Raquel” – Schwartz said Shay, 37.

“She was always fun. I just never really took [the] time to invest in it. This is a terrible way to express it. I never really gave her a chance, ”he said. “It has so much depth and character. I think I deleted it.

Schwartz’s comments came less than a month before he and 27-year-old Leviss reportedly kissed at Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding in Mexico.

“Looks like a little heavy drinking was involved,” a US Weekly source said last week, adding, “They kissed.”

The initiate also claimed that they heard “through the grapevine” that “more had happened” among the stars who had denied meeting at Coachella a few months earlier.

When Shay asked Schwartz in his podcast if he would “make the rumors true,” the co-owner of TomTom laughed, then replied, “I don’t know what to say.”

According to Shay, Leviss was very interested in testing the waters with the Schwartz.

“She made a comment one evening, we talked about how it was brought up,” said Shay. “And she said,” Yes, I haven’t kissed Schwartz … yet. “

Maloney was also in Mexico at the time of the wedding and had drinks with other reality stars, including James Kennedy – who was previously engaged to Leviss.

However, she never made it to the ceremony because now Shay’s husband claimed she was “uninvited.”

Schwartz and Maloney began dating in September 2010 and bonded in front of the Bravo cameras in August 2016.

Maloney filed for divorce in 2022, saying it “was the hardest thing” she had to do.
