“Vanderpump Rules” co-stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have called it quits, Page Six can confirm.

As we reported, Sandoval, 40 — who was in a long-term relationship with co-star Ariana Madix at the time — began secretly hooking up with Leviss, 28, last summer.
It wasn’t until this past March 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.

The Something About Her co-owner immediately dumped the wannabe rock star, 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 dalliance made headlines.
In part, the former beauty pageant queen blamed her “patterns of codependency 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 apologized to Madix only after critics blasted him for snubbing her from his first mea culpa.
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 the SUR server as “so awesome,” “so kind,” “smart,” “witty,” “fun,” “beautiful” and “f–king amazing.”

Madix — who will appear on Wednesday night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live” after the “Pump Rules” season finale for her first interview post–Scandoval — 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. Diabolical, demented, subhuman.”
She also refers to her lying ex as a “f–king rat.”
