Tom Schwartz Is ‘Not Formally Dating Anyone’: ‘I Am Just Hanging Out’

Tom Schwartz is remaining tight-lipped about his romantic life.

“Honestly, I am not formally dating anyone, I am just hanging out,” Schwartz, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly at the L.A. Art Show Opening Night on Wednesday, February 19. “So there is not much to say about my love life.”

Schwartz said he did “nothing” for Valentine’s Day. “I was in Minnesota!” he told Us at the event held at the L.A. Convention Center. “With one of my first loves, the great state of Minnesota.”

Schwartz’s update on his dating life comes one month after he shared on the “Lady Gang” podcast that he has someone he “really” enjoys “hanging out with.” However, Schwartz said at the time that “dating is, like, the last thing on my mind.”

Nearly one year prior, Schwartz sparked romance rumors with Sophia Skoro. During a February 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Schwartz hinted that he was — sort of — in a relationship.

“I would say I am not, not dating. I’m hanging out,” he said at the time, noting that the special someone wanted to remain private. “I think she would prefer that I didn’t say, but I’m hanging out.”

Schwartz and Skoro, 24, went public with their romance later that year. “I just want to be in the most perfect place,” Skoro shared when appearing alongside Schwartz on “The Viall Files” podcast in April 2024. “I like to be very, at ease.”

Schwartz, for his part, explained that he didn’t want to “put pressure” on Skoro and noted that the pair “enjoy our time together.”

“We actually met on a whim at TomTom,” Schwartz shared. “It’s funny, ironically, around that moment, I made a pledge, not only to myself, but to the universe, that I will not hang out or date. I’m just going to be single and work for the next two years. … Then I bumped into her.”

Schwartz and Skoro made their last public appearance in December 2024 when she supported the Vanderpump Rules alum on the last day of his bar Schwartz and Sandy’s before it closed.

Before Schwartz was romantically linked to Skoro, he was previously married to former Vanderpump Rules costar Katie Maloney. The pair tied the knot in 2016 and were married for six years before their divorce in 2022.

The Bravo personality has since hooked up with former costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, who later revealed she was involved in an affair with costar Tom Sandoval amid his relationship with Ariana Madix. Schwartz was also briefly linked to Below Deck Mediterranean’s Katie Flood and had a casual relationship with Jo Wenberg.
