<p id=”par-3_37″>“I mean, I think I would be open to it,” Sandoval, 44, told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/tom-sandoval-is-open-to-joining-the-valley-amid-cast-exits” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> when asked about joining the <em>Pump Rules </em>spinoff  while at the Celebrity Travel Lounge presented with Travel By Peta on September 12. </p>

<p id=”par-4_9″>“I think I’d be open to it,” he emphasized. </p>

<p id=”par-5_22″>Currently, <em>The Valley </em>is down two cast members following Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez’s decision to exit the series after three seasons. </p>

<p id=”par-6_43″>Starting in 2013, Sandoval was a main cast member on 11 seasons of <em>Vanderpump Rules. </em>He left the show ahead of season 12 along with the rest of the cast when Bravo decided to refresh the series with an all-new group of SURvers. </p>

<p id=”par-7_42″>In 2024, <em>The Valley </em>premiered on Bravo. It follows several <em>Pump Rules </em>stars, as well as some new faces, as they embark on the next, supposedly more settled, phase of their lives. Sandoval is close with several current cast members, he said. </p>

<p id=”par-8_53″>“I would say [I’m close to] Zach [Wickham], Jesse [Lally], Jason [Caperna], Janet [Caperna], Luke [Broderick], [Tom] Schwartz — obviously — [and] Jasmine [Goode],” Sandoval told Us on Saturday. “I’m cool with all of them. You just don’t see me around a lot because, at this point, you know, I like my privacy.”</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-brittany-cartwright-said-sandoval-joining-bravo-show-was-a-stretch”>Brittany Cartwright said Sandoval joining Bravo show was ‘a stretch’ </h2>

<p id=”par-9_30″>While Sandoval thinks he’d fit right in with the current cast of <em>The Valley, </em>some aren’t so sure. His former castmate Brittany Cartwright has said she rarely socializes with him. </p>

<p id=”par-10_43″>“I mean, no ill will towards Sandoval, but he doesn’t hang out with any of us,” she told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/brittany-cartwright-on-tom-sandoval-ever-joining-the-valley/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> in April. “Maybe Schwartz, but I don’t ever see Sandoval. None of us in the group really hang out with him or anything.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_14″>Cartwright said she felt that adding Sandoval to the cast would be “a stretch.’ </p>

<p id=”par-12_36″>“I know him, and him and Tom are always brothers, and they’re always so close,” she explained. “Of course I want nothing but the best for Sandoval. We just got such a big cast. Like, goodness.”</p>

<p id=”par-13_54″>Sandoval was at the center of some major drama at the end of his run on <em>Vanderpump Rules. </em>During season 10, his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ariana-madix-tom-sandoval-settle-bitter-dispute-shared-home.html/”>longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix</a> learned that he’d been having an affair with fellow castmember Rachel Leviss. The resulting fallout was dubbed “Scandoval” and led to a fracturing of relationships among the cast. </p>

<p id=”par-14_84″>Since parting ways with Bravo, Sandoval has appeared on <em>Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, The Traitors, </em>and <em>House of Villains, </em>as well as in several made-for-TV movies. Recently, his personal life has been back in the headlines following his breakup with model girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson. Each has accused the other of abuse and has filed a restraining order against the other. On Sunday, he told <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2026/09/13/tom-sandoval-staying-single-after-victoria-lee-robinson-breakup/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a> that he is taking a break from dating for a while following the end of that relationship.  </p>
