“I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous position. I really misjudged a situation.

“One thing that kept me going (to my relationship with Raquel) was the insecurity I had in myself,” she said on her podcast “Everybody Loves Tom” in December 2023. “I felt like. ‘Oh, my gosh, I can’t lose this other person because I’ll never have this.’ I had so much insecurity with myself that I felt if I let this go, it will never happen again. You can (find that again). And banking on that is a much safer bet than waiting and doing and living in that.”
After confirming his romance with Robinson, Sandoval praise its effect on his life.
“This week, my addiction of the week is definitely my friend Victoria who I’ve been hanging out with. She’s definitely really great and she’s one of the sweetest people,” Sandoval shared on the “Billie and the Kid” podcast in February. “Obviously I’ve known her for a long time, but we went on our first date last night.”
He continued: “She’s a model, she works a lot and she’s very successful. She’s doing well for herself but she’s also very humble and very cool. She is a very sweet, thoughtful person. “

I’ve never been on it,” Robinson said Us for potentially joining Bravo’s hit series. “Obviously, I feel like it would be kind of hard to avoid, considering we’re about to move in together. We’re pretty serious, so it’s hard (to avoid). Who knows?”
