Tom Schwartz had babies and fatherhood on the brain during Season 3 of The Valley.
Episode 2 kicked off with a quick scene at Schwartz’s North Hollywood townhouse, where the then-single Vanderpump Rules alum told his brother, Robert “Burt” Schwartz, “Eventually, I’m gonna meet somebody, I’m gonna ask her to move in, [and] if I’m lucky, make some babies.”
After a brief pause, Schwartz amended his statement, however, changing “babies” to a singular “baby.”
The subject arose again later during a visit to a salt cave with fellow single Michelle Saniei, when he asked a “personal question” about how her “mojo” had been lately. To clear up confusion, Schwartz elaborated, “Should my sex drive be higher? Like, sex is the last thing on my mind.”

Following some discussion about aging and Schwartz’s sex life after he and Katie Maloney divorced in 2022, Michelle eventually asked him what he was looking for in a relationship.
“I am sad that I don’t have a family right now,” he said. “But I think I’ll find it. I’m ready to, probably, put myself back out there.”
Michelle, meanwhile, offered “to help” Schwartz in any way that she could.
Inside Tom Schwartz and Michelle Saniei’s flirtations on The Valley Season 3
On the heels of Michelle and Aaron Nosler’s recent split (and amid her then-ongoing divorce from Jesse Lally), Schwartz revealed his potential romantic interest during The Valley‘s Season 3 premiere. By the second episode, he was filling in a couple of his friends at Lala Kent’s daughter Sosa’s first birthday party, where he had already “asked Michelle on a date.”
As she joined the trio, Michelle interjected, “That’s how rumors are started.” She went on to theorize that Schwartz’s perfect match would be “somebody in their late twenties that’s just, like, [a] free spirit and easygoing.”

After making a flirty comment to her, Schwartz eventually opened up to a producer about his newfound feelings for Michelle.
“I think I underestimated Michelle,” he declared. “I thought she was kind of like this meager, kind of quiet, soft-spoken person. But she’s kind of a baddie. She’s kind of a MILF. You know what I mean.”
Later on, Schwartz added, “Michelle’s a catch. She’s funny, successful, she already has a kid,” before joking, “All of a sudden, I’m co-parenting with Jesse.”
Who is Tom Schwartz dating today?
The new couple shared more details about their romance on the March 25 episode of his podcast, Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz. At that point, he noted that they had been together for almost six months, and Kiana referred to Schwartz as her “best friend.”
“I do love you so much, and you are the best,” Kiana told him, before later adding, “I think at three months with you… I would say that’s when I felt extra comfortable with you, even though I always felt comfortable with you. Six months is where s–t gets real.”
Elsewhere on his podcast, Schwartz revealed that his new girlfriend had also already “bonded” with Butters and Gordo, aka the two dogs he shares with Katie, while taking on some dog sitting duties for the first time. (Gordo also made a brief cameo in The Valley‘s April 8 episode.)
“Katie was out of town on vacay, so Kiana, my dreamboat of a girlfriend, watched the pups over the weekend,” he shared.
Schwartz also previously teased his and Kiana’s romance during a BravoCon 2025 panel in November, telling attendees, “I’m happy. I feel like I’m under a love spell right now … It’s a great place to be. I’ve got the rose-colored lenses on.”
