The Definitive Answer: Are Katie and Tom Still Together in 2025?
The answer is a resounding NO. Their divorce was finalized in 2022, effectively dissolving their legal and romantic partnership. However, their story continues to be one of the most followed in reality TV because of their shared social circle, business ventures, and continued presence on television.
The dynamic between the two has been a major focus on the latest seasons of Vanderpump Rules, particularly following the "Scandoval" fallout, in which Tom Schwartz was heavily criticized for his role in covering for his business partner, Tom Sandoval. Katie has maintained a firm boundary, focusing on her new life and business, Something About Her, while Schwartz continues to navigate his professional and personal life under intense scrutiny.
Their relationship in late 2025 can best be described as cordial but distant, with necessary interactions related to their shared history and friends. Tom Schwartz himself provided an update in October 2025, confirming that while they are civil, their post-divorce relationship still has its complexities.
Dating Lives Post-Divorce: The New Chapters
Both Katie and Tom have moved on, though their approaches to post-divorce dating have been quite different and have generated significant buzz within the Vanderpump Rules fan community. The updates in 2025 confirm that both have found new romantic interests, though only one is in a committed relationship.
Katie Maloney’s Confirmed New Boyfriend: Nick Martin
In a major development in late 2024, Katie Maloney went public with a new relationship, confirming she is dating musician Nick Martin, the guitarist for the rock band Sleeping with Sirens. Katie confirmed the relationship on her podcast and described herself as "in love," marking a significant, happy turning point in her life after the divorce. Nick Martin is a California native who has been touring with his band, and his relationship with Katie has been supported by many of her friends and fans who are happy to see her move forward.

Tom Schwartz’s Single Status and Rumored Romances in 2025
Despite being linked to several women since his divorce, Tom Schwartz confirmed in a February 2025 interview that he is not "formally dating anyone" and is currently single. He admitted that the last two years have been "insane" and that he is focusing on his life and business. While he has been seen "hanging out" with various people, including Sophia Skoro, he has not committed to a serious, exclusive relationship.
Schwartz’s most controversial post-divorce romantic entanglement was a brief, drunken kiss with former castmate Raquel Leviss (now Rachel Leviss) during a cast trip to Mexico, which created significant friction with Katie. This incident, which occurred before the "Scandoval" revelation, was a major point of contention between the ex-couple and a source of drama on the show.
- Current Status: Single, not "formally dating" (as of early 2025)
- Past Rumors/Entanglements: Sophia Skoro, Raquel Leviss.
- Key Entities: Rachel Leviss, Scandoval.
The Future of the "Bubbas": Business, Friendship, and New Shows
While their romantic relationship is over, the professional and social ties between Katie and Tom mean they will likely remain in each other's orbit for the foreseeable future. This continued connection is the main reason the "are they still together" question persists.
Schwartz & Sandy's and Something About Her
Tom Schwartz remains a co-owner of the bar Schwartz & Sandy's, alongside Tom Sandoval, a venture that has faced significant public backlash following the "Scandoval" affair. Katie, on the other hand, has channeled her energy into her own restaurant venture, Something About Her, a sandwich shop co-owned with Ariana Madix. This business is seen by many fans as Katie's independent success story post-divorce, a stark contrast to the drama surrounding Schwartz's business.
The Valley and VPR
Tom Schwartz's future on reality television is still evolving. While his ex-castmates Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute have moved to the spinoff series The Valley, Schwartz has remained primarily on Vanderpump Rules. There has been speculation about his involvement in The Valley, but as of late 2025, he continues to be a central figure in the original series, ensuring his life—and his interactions with Katie—remain public.
Katie Maloney has also remained a main cast member, using her platform to document her journey of healing, entrepreneurship, and new love. Her continued presence, especially with her new relationship, provides a fresh perspective on life after divorce in the Bravo world, proving that both Katie and Tom have successfully moved on to separate, but equally dramatic, chapters of their lives.
