Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss Were Planning to Spend Time Together in Tom's Hometown.

Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval were planning to spend time together in Tom's hometown, but their December meetup was rejected by Tom's family.

Tom Sandoval brought Raquel Leviss home to meet his friends and family before their relationship was publicized, but his loved ones rejected the idea, as revealed by sources to TMZ. The couple was pictured together in Tom's hometown on December 28, posing in front of the Apotheosis of Saint Louis, and Tom even introduced her to some of his closest friends.

Although Tom's family knew Raquel was with him, they refused to meet her, believing it was inappropriate for him to bring another girl home while still in a relationship with Ariana. Tom's friends were informed that he was attempting to end things with Ariana, and the couple was undergoing therapy together.

Raquel declined to attend one of Tom's shows in Chicago due to concerns about being recognized. Despite being criticized on the "Vanderpump Rules" reunion show, Tom and Raquel have continued their relationship and were seen dining together at Musso and Frank Grill soon after the taping.

The timeline of their relationship appears to be more complicated than previously believed.
