Vanderpump Rules co-stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have called it quits.

The US reality TV stars split just two months after news of their shocking affair was exposed, Page Six can confirm.

“Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her,” an insider told the outlet.

Reps for the duo have not yet responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Entertainment news site The Messenger was first to break the news.

Sandoval, 40 – who was in a long-term relationship with co-star Ariana Madix at the time – began secretly seeing Leviss, 28, last year, it was previously revealed.

It wasn’t until March this year that Madix, 37, found out Sandoval was cheating on her with her best friend after discovering a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone.

She immediately broke up with Sandoval, and cameras quickly picked back up to capture the fallout for inclusion in the reality show’s currently airing 10th season.

Sandoval and Leviss each issued two statements after their relationship made headlines.

In part, the former beauty pageant queen blamed her “patterns of co-dependency and addiction to being and feeling loved,”, admitting that she seeks “emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy”.

She subsequently checked herself into a “mental health facility”.

For his part, Sandoval publicly apologised to Madix only after critics blasted him.

The bar owner then stopped by Howie Mandel’s podcast to gush over his “magnetic” connection with Leviss.

“I felt something that I hadn’t felt in so long, like, emotionally,” he shared, going on to describe her as “so awesome,” “so kind”, “smart”, “witty”, “fun”, “beautiful” and “f***ing amazing.”

Madix – who will appear on this week’s episode of Watch What Happens Live after the Pump Rules season finale on Thursday night for her first interview after the scandal – describes Leviss slightly differently.

“I have been super-selfish,” the model acknowledges in the Season 10 reunion trailer, prompting Madix to fire back, “Selfish does not cover it.”

She also refers to her ex as a “f***ing rat”.
