Despite reports that Sandoval, 39, and Madix, 37, had broken up because the co-owner of TomTom was supposedly having an affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss, a source has now told PEOPLE that the relationship is nothing new.

One insider tells people that this has been going on for more than six months, and during that time Tom has been sharing a bed with Ariana. She was totally unprepared for this; crushed does not begin to describe how she feels.

“She believed she knew this person, with whom she intended to live out the rest of her days. That betrayal is so hard to describe “adds the source. Also on Wednesday, on the other side of the country, Leviss made an appearance with Scheana Shay on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen where she defended her decision to kiss Tom Schwartz, Sandoval’s best friend and business partner.

“I’m just trying to live my life and I’m sorry if that offends people but it’s not going to stop me from doing what I’m going to do,” Leviss said, later giving Andy Cohen a TomTom sweatshirt as a gift. After the taping, Leviss admitted to Shay the truth about her and Sandoval, a third source tells People.

“Scheana was furious,” the source says. “She and all the Vanderpump Rules costars have rallied around Ariana during this time. They can’t believe Raquel would do something like that.” Meanwhile, Madix herself learned about Leviss and Sandoval’s alleged affair at the venue on Wednesday when a selfie video sexual in nature from Leviss popped up on his phone. She then began scrolling and saw their history of inappropriate texts. Madix and Sandoval exited after his performance wrapped.

“Ariana had been there for Raquel when she went through her split with James. She thought they were friends,” the second source says. “This isn’t something you do to a friend.”
