'Vanderpump Rules'' Raquel Leviss Gushes Over 'Flirty Connection' With Newly Divorced Tom Schwartz

Raquel Leviss has hinted that she and her "Vanderpump Rules" co-star Tom Schwartz may be more than friends amid ongoing rumors they hooked up.

During an interview with PageSix at BravoCon 2022 Saturday, Leviss, who called off her engagement to James Kennedy late last year, gushed over her "flirty connection" with their Bravo co-star, Schwartz, who just finalized his divorce from Katie Maloney.

"I think he's cute. I feel like we have a little flirty, friendly connection that's lighthearted and fun," Leviss told the outlet of Schwartz.

"He's a very sweet guy, obviously, and easy to talk to," she added. "It's just very nice to have a friend in my corner."

But while Leviss and Schwartz seem to be getting closer, she said "it's unknown at the moment" whether or not they have a chance at getting together romantically.

According to Leviss, she is still "exploring the single life and having fun with that."

Leviss and Schwartz sparkled hookup speculation in April after a Twitter user claimed the pair kissed at Coachella. However, Schwartz shut down the rumors at the time, tweeting that he wasn't even present at the music festival.

In August, the rumor was fueled by an Us Weekly report, which cited an unnamed insider as saying that Schwartz and Leviss made out at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies' wedding.

That same month, Schwartz acknowledged that there was potential in his relationship with Leviss, be it platonic or otherwise, that he didn't see previously.

"I was so caught up in my own little world and I was married [to Maloney]," he said on Shay's "Scheananigans" podcast. "I never took time to get to know Raquel."

Schwartz and Maloney finalized their divorce on Oct. 12. Based on the court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, neither sought spousal support from the other and they agreed to split the proceeds from the sale of their home in Los Angles. Each of them will also keep their separate businesses, financial accounts, vehicles and personal properties under their name.

It was reportedly an amicable divorce. The exes have remained friendly despite the dissolution of their marriage.

Meanwhile, Leviss and Kennedy were together for five "wonderful years" before they called it quits in December 2021, seven months after he popped the big question.

In their split announcement, the reality stars said, "We decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement."

"We love each other very much, but we aren't in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love," they concluded.
