Why Did Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz Split?
Maloney and Schwartz received their fair share of scrutiny in Season 5 — their wedding, which happened in Maui during the show’s filming, was almost immediately dubbed a “fake,” unceremonious split. And now they’re talking candidly about how they’ve weathered the storm. Interested to see how New Katie (and Tom) are faring? Catch Vanderpump Rule’s newbie James Kennedy as he guest stars on Bravo’s newest reality show The Bachelor Winter Games tonight! We wish them the best in their new life together, whatever it may hold. We’re not mad that they didn’t wait to have a baby, because we’ve learned it’s important for couples to work on themselves and only share their lives with others when they’re ready. For some couples, that includes starting families of their own; for others, it might mean focusing on other passions and dreams first. Each couple has to do what is right for them. It may be sad for Vanderpump Rules fans to see the relationship is thrown into upheaval so early, but that doesn’t change the fact that Katie and Tom deserve happiness as individuals first. There are a lot of people out there who will be inspired by the news of their split, and I am definitely in that camp. They’re a great couple who radiate good energy and seem to genuinely support each other. I hope we see them both continue on with their best selves because they will make this world a better place. Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, the married couple from “The Real Housewives of New York City” split up after 12 years of marriage. They issued a joint statement on Friday, saying, “12 years is a long time to be together and fight. Maybe we are model divorcées.” The Bravo show is set to air its final episode on Sunday.
