“Three’s a crowd” is a phrase that rings true, especially when your ex is part of the equation. This was the exact predicament that Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney, former lovers, found themselves in during the filming of Vanderpump Rules’ season 11. They both developed an interest in the same woman, creating an unexpected love triangle.
Viewers are left in suspense, waiting to see how this tangled love story unravels on the show. However, Tom and Katie did let slip a few exclusive details about this unforeseen love triangle. Katie, speaking exclusively to E! News at the season 11 premiere party on Jan. 16, admitted, “That was something I didn’t, and couldn’t prepare myself for.”
She continued, “I just sort of got through that. It was short-lived.” She tried to downplay the awkwardness of the situation, adding, “But it was funny, we tried to just make it not too awkward, as much as possible. But like, what do you do? I don’t know.”
In a sneak peek of the upcoming season, Katie is seen declaring, “May the best man win.” However, for Tom, it wasn’t much of a contest. He confessed with a hint of humor, “I mean you guys, I love myself, but I’m no competition for Katie Maloney.” He then added, “You know what I’m saying? I waved the white flag.”
