Tom Sandoval and Jax Taylor have certainly shared plenty of ups and downs ever since Vanderpump Rules premiered in 2013, but has their relationship withstood the test of time?
The one-time aspiring models trying to make their way on the West Hollywood scene have both moved on since working under Lisa Vanderpump, but according to Tom, the buds are still on great terms. As the Tom Tom bar owner exclusively told The Daily Dish, “Yeah, I just talked to Jax the other day.”
What’s more, Tom said he also talks to former cast member Scheana Shay and her husband, Brock Davies, as well as those who have moved to The Valley, including Lala Kent, Tom’s ex-girlfriend Kristen Doute, and Kristen’s fiancé, Luke Broderick. Tom also reports being friendly with Jason Caperna and Janet Caperna.
All said, The Daily Dish wondered if Tom could also end up on The Valley, as friends like Tom Schwartz and Jax’s now-estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, have. “I might,” Tom admitted. “Let’s see what happens.”

Of course, Tom and Jax have certainly been met with challenges over the years, from jealousy accusations to social media fights, not to mention the cheating scandal that saw things get extra heated in Season 2. But they’ve always managed to make their friendship work, as was the case in August when Tom told Decider that he and the former Valley cast member attended a screening of the film Freakier Friday.

“I actually just saw Jax yesterday. We went and saw a movie together,” Tom reported. “We’re doing good. I’m really just trying to [support him and] be a good friend to him as he tries and he gets the help that he needs. I just wish him all the best.”
The positive news came weeks after Jax announced his exit from The Valley amid his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.

“After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I’ll be stepping away from the next season of The Valley,” he said at the time. “Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself – especially for our son, Cruz.”
Tom Sandoval, meanwhile, continues going strong in his relationship with Victoria Lee Robinson.
