The Bravo Cinematic Universe (BCU) was rocked to its core on March 3, 2023. The news broke that Tom and Ariana, a couple for nine years, had called it quits. The reason? Tom’s seven-month affair with Raquel.
Tom, a co-owner of TomTom, took to Instagram on March 8 to apologize. He confessed, “I made mistakes, I was selfish.” He admitted to reckless decisions that caused pain to someone he loved.
He went on to express his regret. “My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana,” he said. He acknowledged the disappointment he caused to many, including their families and friends.
Raquel didn’t stay silent either. She issued a public apology to Ariana, admitting she had “no excuse” for her actions. But, she didn’t stop there.
She later addressed the future of her relationship with Tom. In a statement to E! News, Raquel said, “I need to take care of my health, work on self-growth.” She expressed her need to be okay with being alone.
Raquel also spoke about her feelings for Tom. “I care for Tom,” she said. However, she didn’t want to label anything or predict the future. Her current focus? Healing.
