When it comes to the title “special woman” in Tom Schwartz’s life, that role always belongs to one person. That lucky human just so happens to be his mom, Kimberly (duh!).
Tom often posts about his tight-knit relationship with his mama. And this past Mother’s Day, he shed light on their bond. “Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mamas out there. I love mine the most,” the Vanderpump Rules alum wrote, alongside a carousel of photos of Kimberly.
The photos included Tom and mama Kimberly out at the Emmy Awards (more on that below), as well as solo photos of Kimberly out and about living her best life with a black lab in one photo, rocking a Tom Tom cap in another snapshot, and drinking a cocktail in another picture.
Inside Tom Schwartz’s relationship with his mom, Kimberly
Before that, on Valentine’s Day, Tom celebrated his mom by sending her flowers to mark the special day. He shared their sweet text exchange with his followers, which gave everyone some insight into their dynamic.
In fact, Tom hangs out with his mom a lot as she often makes the trip to California to see him. She was by his side as his date at the Emmy Awards back in September 2024. “Being there with my Mom was a dream come true,” he captioned a series of photos from their night out.
During a 2023 visit, Tom shared that he “found a happy place” making various stops around Los Angeles with Kimberly. The duo went out to eat, hung out with his dogs, Gordo and Butter (whom he shares with ex-wife, Katie Maloney), and also made some time to stop by Kyle Chan’s jewelry store.
