There’s been no official word on whether a Vanderpump Rules Season 12 will ever happen. Nevertheless, Tom Sandoval is crossing his fingers that his Pump Rules paychecks will continue.
“I hope it continues on,” Tom said on October 15. “I feel like we still have a lot of story to tell. [But] like everything, we’re just gonna wait and see what happens … It’s not up to me. I’m not the EP … but I’m hopeful it continues on.”
Bravo pushed pause on the show following Season 11, which largely focused on the fallout of Scandoval. VPR typically films during the summer months, but producers decided to take a break in 2024.
Victoria Lee Robinson says she’s never seen VPR but she would be willing to make an appearance with Tom Sandoval
As you probably know, Sandy has moved on from both Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss. Though his new girlfriend, model Victoria Lee Robinson, claims she’s never seen Pump Rules, she’s not opposed to making an appearance (i.e., picking up a paycheck) on the show.
“I don’t know about the show,” Victoria told Us Weekly. “I mean, I do and I don’t. I’ve never been on it. Obviously, I feel like it would be kind of hard to dodge it, considering we are about to move in together. We’re pretty serious, so it’s hard [to avoid it]. Who knows?”
Meanwhile, Sandoval teased, “We’ll just have to wait and see.”
Tom and Victoria’s relationship timeline
Sandoval and Victoria first went public with their relationship in February 2024. Tom claims that she’s been a big support to him.
“She’s helped me out a lot,” the Most Extras lead singer said. “You’re with somebody that inspires you to be a certain way. That’s what makes it amazing.”
For her part, Victoria, who formerly dated Leonardo DiCaprio, admitted that when she first met Tom, she had no idea who he was. She’d never heard of #Scandoval or knew much about Vanderpump Rules. She now says that if she’d known more about him at the time, she might have steered clear, and we wouldn’t even be talking about her.
“If I [had] known, we wouldn’t be here right now,” she confessed. “[But] he’s grown, and he’s much better than he was, and I’m so proud of him.”
Even though the couple started off being “just friends,” sparks started to fly “all of a sudden.” Sandoval admitted that their quick connection “caught both” of them “by surprise,” but they’re enjoying every moment so far.
“A lot of love, a lot of fun, a lot of support, a lot of great memories already,” he said. “We complement each other very well. We’re both very adventurous and spontaneous.”
All episodes of Vanderpump Rules are streaming on Peacock.
