More details about the cause of Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney’s split are coming to light. Since announcing their split in February 2022, fans have been left in the dark about what led to the Bravo couple’s divorce. Over the past year, Tom and Katie have remained ambiguous about why Katie filed for divorce. Instead, they have waited to let their split play out during season ten of Vanderpump Rules, which is currently airing on Bravo.
Now, Schwartz is shedding some light on what caused him and Katie to throw in the towel on their marriage.
Schwartz and his business partner/co-star Tom Sandoval appeared on the February 8 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where he revealed that a reconciliation between him and Katie is off the table.
“In that moment, it felt like finality. It felt like a nail in the coffin. I just knew it from her tone, the look on her face. I felt it in my soul that it was just done,” Schwartz confessed.
When asked by Andy if he has ever cheated on Katie during their twelve-year relationship and six-year marriage, Schwartz admitted, “I strayed a few times. There were times I thought the relationship was going to come to an end, and I was a sloppy douchebag.”
Tom also said that he will likely never get married again but believes Katie will walk down the aisle again.
He confessed, “[I] might be out of the game forever.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get married again,” he added. “I’ll fall in love, I just don’t think I’ll ever be married again.”
Meanwhile, Katie admits that she hopes to remain friends with Schwartz.
“We’re not best friends, we’re not super close, but we’re trying to find that sort of sweet spot. Because we have dogs and a lot of love for one another, and I just feel like he’s still such a huge part of my life and just kind of not having him in my life just feels so weird,” Katie told PEOPLE at the Pump Rules season ten premiere party.
Yet, Schwartz’s hookup with Raquel Leviss could put a dent in the exes’ plan to remain friends, as Katie has made it clear that her one rule was that Schwartz doesn’t date any of their mutual friends.
“I value my friendship with Tom, and I want to remain friends, but there’s just one rule: don’t hook up with anyone in the friend group,” Katie explained during episode one of season ten.
Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

The exact cause of Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney’s split has not been explicitly stated by either party. However, Schwartz mentioned on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that he strayed a few times during their relationship and admitted to being a “sloppy douchebag.” This, along with other undisclosed factors, seemed to contribute to the finality of their decision to divorce.
According to Schwartz, a reconciliation between him and Katie is off the table. He expressed that he felt a sense of finality and knew their relationship was done based on Katie’s tone and expression during their conversation. While they may remain friends, it seems unlikely that they will get back together.
Tom Schwartz stated that he does not believe he will ever get married again. Although he expressed that he may fall in love in the future, he does not see himself entering into another marriage. On the other hand, he believes that Katie will likely walk down the aisle again in the future.
