Where Does Ariana Madix Live? ‘VPR’ Star Buys New Home More Than 1 Year After Tom Sandoval Split
Ariana Madix wants to move out of the home she shares with ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval, but she's still living under the same roof as him.
Where Does Ariana Madix Live?
The Bravolebrity purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills for $1.6 million in March 2024, according to Page Six. Although it was not clear if she had officially moved into the modern home at the time, it was confirmed that the residence boasted three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Prior to moving into her new home, Ariana was living in the 4,450-square-foot house she and Tom purchased for $2.2 million in 2019. It is located in Los Angeles' Valley Village area, not far from where the estranged couple’s respective best friends, exes Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, have their own apartments.
The catch? Ariana and Tom were living in the home together before the Dancing With the Stars alum finally moved out. They cohabitated for more than a year after their March 2023 split.
"Tom and Ariana bought the $2 million home in 2019 when everything was going well in their relationship," a source previously told Life & Style.
Why Did Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval Live Together After Their Split?
When Ariana and Tom broke up, they could not come to an agreement about what to do with the house. He wanted to buy Ariana out and stay in the house, while she wanted to sell the residence and split the proceeds.
While living together, Tom and Ariana did not communicate. She stayed in the master bedroom, while her ex slept in another room. During a May 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Ariana explained that the exes used “go-betweens” to communicate.
Viewers got some insight into this dynamic on season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, as Tom’s assistant contacted Ariana whenever she needed to update her on his plans or whereabouts.
"It's all gone to hell," the inside source further explained to Life & Style of Tom and Ariana's dynamic within the home. "Even though they avoided each other, being under the same roof was like living in a nightmare.
What Was Ariana Madix House Drama With Tom Sandoval?
Things got tense between Ariana and Tom amid their legal battle over the house. The Broadway star kept fans updated from the beginning, as she revealed in a May 2023 Instagram Story, "It’s time to get my financial house in order. I will have more to share with you very very soon.”
During her WWHL appearance that followed the season 10 finale of Vanderpump Rules, Ariana revealed her future plans for the home. “My plan is to sell the house. I want my money out of that house as quickly as possible and I want to move on,” she told host Andy Cohen.
The following morning during an appearance on NBC’s Today, Ariana shared how she was one step closer to getting out of the home. “I’ve been on the phone with a real estate agent,” she said. “And I would like to sell that house and move somewhere, own my own place on my own, and start my new life.”
By December, Ariana and Tom were still living in the same house, “I wanna sell it, he does not,” she claimed during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. She described how the former couple own the home equally but whatever they decide “has to be agreed upon between both owners.”
When Andy asked if there was a possibility that Tom would “buy you out of your half,” the Dancing With the Stars finalist shrugged and held up her hands.
In January 2024, Ariana asked a judge to have the home “partitioned by sale,” which would require Tom to sell the house and split the earnings. She requested that the proceeds of the sale be split evenly between both owners and insisted that she did not want a “division in kind,” which meant that each owner would keep their half of the property. “This cannot legally be accomplished under the facts and circumstances present in this action,” she said in her court documents.
Tom responded with legal documents of his own the following month and rejected Ariana’s request. On a February 2024 episode of Vanderpump Rules, he also accused Ariana of not paying the bills “for, like, f--king eight months.”
He alleged, “I’ve been pretty much paying for everything out of all my accounts. Mortgage, gardener, cleaning, utilities, everything. It’s kind of like pulling teeth to get Ariana to pay me back.”
Meanwhile, Ariana explained why she refused to let Tom buy her out. “The fact of the matter is, he broke the home,” she said. “He f--ked all of this up. He deosn’t get to do that and then just keep it.”
