Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix has sued her philandering ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval over the $2million Los Angeles area home they still love in together in attempt to move on.
The 38-year-old reality star is taking legal action against the 40-year-old Sandoval – who recently called out an LA bakery – as she filed a suit in LA Superior Court over their home in the San Fernando Valley according to TMZ on Friday.
According to the site, the documents show that the former couple do not see eye-to-eye on how they are to split up the property.
They claim that Ariana wants a ‘partition by sale’ which essentially means that she wants a judge to order them to sell the home in order to divide the proceeds.
What she is fighting against is a ‘division in kind’ which would allow each of them to retain their ownership interest in the property which could lead to one of them theoretically selling to a third party according to TMZ.

The pair had bought the home in the greater LA area for about $2million back in 2019.
However their nine-year relationship ended with ‘Scandoval’ which found Sandoval being involved in an affair with her 29-year-old friend Raquel Leviss (now Rachel).
This is quite a different tune to the one Ariana was singing back in August 2023 as she defended her choice to live with Sandoval five months after their split.
Just before that Bethenny Frankel had criticized their awkward living arrangement on her Just B podcast, the reality star stated that she will not ‘f**k [herself] over’ by making any rash decisions.
‘I have never been someone who came from money. I know how quickly that goes away,’ she explained. ‘I’m taking care of myself.’
The TV personality went to on to say that she is ‘not rich’ and has a mortgage and other expenses.
‘A lot of people on the internet seem to think I’m rolling in money right now. I have a lot of places where that money has to go before I get [it],’ she continued.
Despite living with Sandoval, the actress made it clear that she keeps their interactions to a minimum.

‘I have a pretty decent setup,’ she said. ‘My room is kind of like my little apartment… I stay in my own little zone.’
Additionally, Madix said she keeps her door ‘locked just in case’ and sleeps ‘easier at night not giving a f**k when he comes in that door.’
‘Yes, we’re in the same house, but I don’t have to think about [him],’ the former bartender told listeners.
Also back in August, the Buying Back My Daughter star explained why she has not moved in the comment section of one of her recent Instagram posts.
‘I live in my home that I own while working with my lawyer and financial advisors to navigate the best path forward before uprooting my dog and my elderly cat and causing more trauma for the three of us,’ she told a follower.

Open book: Earlier this week, the Buying Back My Daughter star explained why she has not moved in the comment section of one of her recent Instagram posts

Back in May Ariana had staged an elaborate publicity stunt in which she pretended to move out of the home
It may not have been April Fools Day but a scheming Madix enlisted the help of friends and even hired a U-Haul for her prank, exploiting the sensation of ‘Scandoval’ by moving boxes out of her house in full view of photographers
Back in May Ariana had staged an elaborate publicity stunt in which she pretended to move out of the home.
It may not have been April Fools Day but a scheming Madix enlisted the help of friends and even hired a U-Haul for her prank, exploiting the sensation of ‘Scandoval’ by moving boxes out of her house in full view of photographers.
The reality star sold the sham move to the hilt and even shaded Tom’s fling partner Rachel in the process.
Madix is currently in a relationship with her new boyfriend, Daniel Wai.
