Tom Sandoval claims 'I still love Ariana,' but says romance ran cold before scandal

Tom Sandoval says he still has feelings for ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix, a month after allegedly cheating on her with their "Vanderpump Rules" co-star Raquel Leviss.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star opened up about the scandal — "Scandoval" for fans in the know — in a nearly hour-and-a-half interview with Howie Mandel for his "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" podcast. In the episode, released Tuesday, Sandoval says he could not have anticipated the buzz around the "Vanderpump" drama.

"I'm finally getting time to start to reflect on the situation because I never thought I would get myself in a situation like this. Never dreamed it," he said. "I worked too hard for my image, for my business, for my integrity ... but it just happened."
