00:03kicking today off with Tom Sandoval's first interview since news broke about his affair
00:08with Raquel Levis. The Banner Pump Rules star appeared on a new episode of Howie Mandel's
00:13The H3 Podcast and opened up about he and Raquel became intimate for the first time
00:18after developing a close friendship. After saying he tried to set her up with Tom Schwartz first,
00:23Tom said that after a few nights of hanging out, the two kissed outside of his house,
00:27calling the moment magnetic. He said the tryst began after his relationship with his girlfriend
00:32of nine years, Ariana Maddox, turned stale, telling Howie,
00:35we had been having our own lives. We had been together for nine years and we obviously had
00:41built a house and business together and everything. We were a brand and like many relationships,
00:46it became more of a best friend, family, sometimes roommates situation. There was a lot of ways
00:53where the relationship was just lacking intimacy and connection. He also claimed that he and Ariana
00:58spent most of their time apart but stayed together for brand purposes and around his 40th birthday,
01:03he felt like he, quote, needed to make a change to feel alive again. Tom said he was in a very dark
01:08place and yearning for a connection when his affair with Raquel began. Later, he claimed that he tried to
01:14break up with Ariana over Valentine's Day of this year, two weeks before news of his affair went public
01:19and she allegedly punched him. Tom told Howie after she calmed down, we started talking and a couple
01:26days later, I sat down and talked to her again and she was like, I'm not letting you leave me.
01:31You're going to have to force me out of this relationship. He said, I was like, I don't think
01:35I can be faithful in a relationship with you right now. Tom stuck to his claim that the pair were broken
01:40up when news about his affair went public and that Ariana was trying to convince him to not be broken up
01:46and, quote, fully in denial. Tom even alleged that Ariana asked him about fertilizing her eggs and
01:51starting a family together the same day that news about the affair broke. All in all, this interview
