Ariana Madix has finally shared an update on the whole living-with-her-ex thing she’s got going on. She was in a relationship with Tom Sandoval for nine years – until he had an affair with Raquel Leviss. The Vanderpump Rules couple is now navigating a post-split living situation, but there’s hope ahead.

Ariana Madix still lives in the house with Tom

Ariana Madix has revealed her house with Tom is almost a distant memory, as she’s now “ready” to buy her own place. She told People she “wants things a certain way when I think it’s the right time.”

During a Vanderpump Rules season 11 premiere event, she said: “So I’m ready. I want to own my own home. I’m just really motivated to be able to get my investment that I made into the house out.”

She plans to “make another investment and be able to fully just move on from being tied to that.” Her current Valley Village property is described as a modern farmhouse-style home with five bedrooms.

The exes have ‘no contact policy’

Ariana and Tom have operated a strict no contact policy while still living under the same roof. The luxe property has five-and-a-half bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a six-foot waterfall and pool, but she’s mostly stayed in an Airbnb since the split.

She and Tom reportedly paid $2.07 million for the home in 2019 and began renovating it in 2020.

“What I think is psychotic is he wants to buy me out and stay here,” Ariana told Katie in a trailer.

She’s now facing at least four more months under the same roof as Sandoval, 40, thanks to a legal tangle over the Los Angeles property they purchased together.

Earlier this month, Madix filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeking the sale of the house and an equitable division of the proceeds, records obtained by The Post show.

However, the first hearing on the matter is not scheduled until June 3.

Pump Rules have Sandwich Shop Qs

As Ariana dishes an update on her living situation and embarks on her new Chicago dance tour, there’s questions about the Something About Her sandwich shop she runs with Katie Maloney.

When a fan asked: “Where is the sandwich shop,” she simply replied with its address, “640 N Robertson.” It is expected to open in January 2024, two years after the concept made its Instagram debut.

In the summer of 2023, passers-by noticed the store was getting a total makeover before opening. A lot of hurdles delayed the opening, such as needing to buy a new water heater.
