Is VPR’s Tom Schwartz Dating Jo Wenberg Following His Divorce From Katie Maloney? Rumors Explained
Moving on? Tom Schwartz‘s dating life was a topic of conversation during Vanderpump Rules season 10, following his divorce from Katie Maloney. However, the TomTom owner’s brief hookup with Raquel Leviss was overshadowed by her months-long affair with Tom Sandoval.
That being said, the Minnesota native has been sparking some romance rumors with roommate Jo Wenberg, despite his declaration that they were nothing more than friends. When asked about what went down between himself and the hairstylist when they lived together, Tom explained that it “wasn’t a girlfriend [situation], especially at that point,” during the VPR season 10 reunion, which premiered on May 24.
