Raquel Leviss divulged the current state of her relationship with affair partner Tom Sandoval when approached by a paparazzo on Wednesday. 

“I don’t know where our relationship is going to be,” she said while seated outside of Blush Nail Bar in Los Angeles, as seen in video footage obtained by Page Six. 

“We’re just kind of trying to get through these next few steps and trying to, you know, make amends, hear everybody out.”

The makeup-free “Vanderpump Rules” star said she hopes to find resolution with her aggrieved castmates — including Sandoval’s jilted ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix — at the Season 10 reunion, taping Thursday in Los Angeles. 

“I know a lot of people are angry, so I think just getting through these next few steps and seeing where it goes,” she continued, adding that she and Sandoval are “not putting a label on” their status. 

Still, Leviss, 28, noted that she and Sandoval, 40, were “taking a break for now.”

During her nail salon interview, the former pageant queen shared that her months-long dalliance with Sandoval “started off as a friendship” before it “turned into something more.” 

“But I’m sure we’ll go into detail tomorrow at the reunion,” she teased. 

Leviss’ comments come weeks after sources exclusively told Page Six that she had been ghosting Sandoval in the wake of their headline-making tryst, widely referred to as the “Scandoval.” 

“Tom has been unable to track Raquel down for several days,” an insider told us March 8. “He’s been asking mutual acquaintances if they’ve heard from her at all, but has had no luck. He can’t get in touch with her.”

Another source added, “She has been completely ignoring Tom.” 

Just days prior, though, Page Six exclusively reported that Sandoval and Leviss kissed on camera during a scene filmed at the latter’s North Hollywood apartment on March 3.

Despite the smooch, the status of their romance remained “complicated,” an insider said.

As Page Six previously reported, Madix was watching Sandoval’s cover band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, on March 1 when she discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone. 

It then came to light that the pair had been having a secret affair since at least July 2022, prompting Madix to dump Sandoval after nearly 10 years of dating.

Leviss and Sandoval have since offered public apologies to Madix, while the Something About Her co-founder addressed the situation for the first time on March 16. 

“To say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone,” she wrote in part via Instagram, concluding with, “What doesn’t kill me better run.”

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
