Madix and Sandoval later admitted they had kissed one another before Sandoval and Doute ended their five-year relationship.

She eventually transferred to SUR, which is where she and Sandoval hit it off.
“But we were both unfaithful.
We cheated on each other.”

Of course, not everyone was exactly thrilled about the news when the pair announced it on the show.
Sandoval admitted to cheating and Madix joined the group.
Things eventually boiled over to the point where Doute leaves the set of the reunion episode completely.

Madix goes to great lengths to defend Sandoval’s behavior.
She concludes: “Despite all of this, people will say whatever they want to say.
They always have and they always will.”

While speaking toUs Weeklyin December 2018, the two each reaffirmed this to the outlet.
“It’s not on the agenda for us,” Madix said.
“I feel like I have way too much stuff I’ve got to do, you know?

So, like, if it was like this, but it was just us, maybe.”
Ariana, will you climb in the back seat?"
The home is certainly impressive.

In the confessional booth, Madix went into more detail about the decision.
“Me and Scheana were actually going together to freeze our eggs.
And then she got pregnant,” Madix revealed (viaPeople).

However, she was quick to add that she still didn’t plan to really have a kid.
“This does not mean that I’m jumping on the baby train,” she added.
Madix spoke more about the process of freezing her eggs on Shay’s podcast.

“Even after my retrieval procedure, I had a lot of complications.
I’m really not that cool.
Thought that was obvious.

Madix then went on to reply to fans who had more questions about the pair’s relationship.
Madix spoke toPage Sixdirectly about the rumors at the show’s premiere event.
But only hours before that news broke, Sandoval had waxed poetic about Madix toPage Six.

He added: “I think we’ve been really good about respecting each other.”
A source told Page Six of the pair that “Ariana and Tom have been affectionate in public recently.
… Ariana had no idea there were any issues.”

She was completely blindsided by this; devastated doesn’t even scratch the surface of how she feels.”
The outlet also wrote that Madix was completely surprised by the news that the pair were having an affair.
Four days after news of the affair broke, Sandoval issued an apology to Madix onInstagram.

He said in part: “My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana.
I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”
This is in real-time.
I love you so much.
I love you more than anything.
You’re my girl" (viaInstagram).
