How Tom Sandoval’s Relationship With His Brother Brian Fell Apart

Like many people in Tom Sandoval’s life, Brian Sandoval wanted to distance himself from his brother following his affair with Raquel Leviss. During an episode of his podcast, “Everyone Loves Tom,” the reality star revealed that his brother requested he erase any trace of him on his social media. Tom explained, “My brother, like, told me, he’s like, ‘Tom, you need to delete photos of us on Instagram,’” he continued, “My actual blood brother said that to me.” Guest star Jerry O’Connell couldn’t believe that even Tom’s brother wanted nothing to do with him after his scandalous affair, but the reality star confirmed that even his own family was avoiding him. It seems like Tom did exactly what Brian requested. The reality star’s brother is seemingly missing from any posts in his Instagram feed.

Before the scandal that changed reality television for good, Brian and Tom seemed to have a pretty good relationship. In 2021, the “Vanderpump Rules” star shared a sweet post to his brother on Facebook. He wrote, “Happy National Brother’s Day! Love You Brian! …excuse me, Dr. Brian Sandoval.” From being close to each other to asking for space, it’s unclear where the brothers stand today, but Brian is trying his best to keep out of the spotlight and all of Tom’s mess.
