They were best friends. A best friend would know if he broke up with her, Give me a break Tom!

I don’t believe Tom broke up with Ariana before 2. The fact that this man would say he doesn’t think he could be faithful while ACTIVELY having an affair is disgustingly disturbing Conclusions: while I didn’t think possible, I hate him even more. #PumpRules51.

He literally, contradicts himself the entire time. #pumprules5All I got from that interview is that Ariana truly didn't see this coming and he NEVER broke up with her.

According to him:"A couple days later, I sit down and talk with her again, and she's like, 'I'm not letting you leave me. You're going to have to force me out of this relationship. And I was like, 'Ariana, I don't think I could be faithful in a relationship with you right now.' I was saying all of these things. I hadn't told her about Raquel yet."In addition, Tom Sandoval said:"She was like, 'If you break up with me, you will effectively be ending my life.' ... I didn't know what to do. She was completely in denial and not accepting it."On the podcast, Tom mentioned how Ariana even asked him to fertilize her eggs for embryos after the breakup. As Tom mentioned:"She was trying to, like, convince me not to be broken up… she asked me that day as we were leaving about, like — because we had talked about fertilizing eggs, which I never did."
