The BCU (Bravo Cinematic Universe) was shaken on March 3, 2023, when it was confirmed that Tom and Ariana had ended their nine-year relationship amid the revelation that he’d had a seven-month affair with Raquel. 

“I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love,” the TomTom co-owner wrote in an apology on Instagram March 8. “No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.”

He added, “My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”

Raquel also issued a public apology to Ariana, saying she had “no excuse” for her actions. In a follow-up statement, Raquel addressed the future of her relationship with Tom.

“I need to take care of my health, work on self-growth and take time to be ok with being alone,” Raquel told E! News in a statement. “I care for Tom, and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead. Right now, I need to heal.”
