Tom Sandoval's Relationship Spiral: From Leonardo DiCaprio Stories to Restraining Orders

Tom Sandoval’s romantic timeline reads like a cautionary tale wrapped in tabloid gold. Less than a year after his very public implosion with Ariana Madix—triggered by his affair with Pump Rules costar Rachel“Raquel”Leviss—the Vanderpump Rules alum found himself dating model Victoria Lee Robinson. What started as a chance meeting at one of his shows in 2024 quickly unraveled into something far messier by June 2026.

Robinson’s origin story had its own dramatic flair. When a friend invited her to a Tom Sandoval&The Most Extras concert, she was skeptical enough to YouTube the band first. Her assessment? Not exactly glowing. But she went anyway, struck up a conversation with Sandoval, and they began dating. During an April 2025 appearance on the“Viall Files”podcast, Robinson leaned hard into redemption framing, claiming she’d never cheated, never been a homewrecker, and believed Sandoval had“grown”since his last relationship implosion. She even mentioned a past“little thing”with Leonardo DiCaprio back in 2016—one she characterized as a casual friendship where she treated him“like a normal person”despite the frenzy of female admirers around him.

By March 2026, things seemed relatively stable. Sandoval told Us he was open to appearing on The Valley spinoff but that Robinson was“apprehensive”about joining him on television, wary of how“polarizing and intense”the fanbase could be. A reasonable hesitation. Then, in June 2026, everything combusted.

Sandoval filed a restraining order against Robinson and her father, claiming months of“verbal and physical abuse.”According to his impact statement, Robinson’s father grabbed him, chased him into a bedroom, and punched a 12-inch hole in the spare bedroom door while Sandoval barricaded himself inside. The allegations paint a picture of escalating conflict, with an insider revealing that Sandoval had been financially supporting both Robinson and her father—covering rent and utilities while her dad lived rent-free. A source confirmed the couple had broken up and that“Tom has endured this abuse for many months.”

What’s striking here isn’t just the dramatic whiplash of another Sandoval relationship implosion. It’s the pattern: a man who publicly humiliated one long-term partner, rushed into a new relationship with someone eager to vouch for his redemption, and ended up in a situation serious enough to involve the courts. Robinson’s podcast narrative about believing in his growth makes even grimmer sense in hindsight. Whether her claims about never being a homewrecker hold up or not, the final outcome suggests that moving forward from infidelity takes more than a new girlfriend’s faith—and possibly more than Sandoval himself is equipped to handle.
