Truth behind Tom Sandoval, Karlee Hale rumored romance

Tom Sandoval is putting Karlee Hale's dating rumors to rest.

The rep for the reality TV star told TMZ that the pair are “just friends,” and that “[He] recently hung out with her because he happened to be in Austin performing with his band.”

Sandoval and the Most Extras performed at Buck’s Backyard in Texas – over 25 minutes away from Austin – on May 13.

It was reported earlier this month that the musician was hanging out with the Texas-based influencer quite a lot, following reports that he had split from Raquel Leviss.

They were first spotted grabbing dinner at The Peacock in the Austin Proper hotel last Tuesday.

A fan also snagged a photo of them on a shopping trip.

Sandoval’s love life is quite in a whirlwind as he was only recently dumped by his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix after she caught him and Leviss having an affair behind her back.

Since then, it is unclear if the bar owner pursued a serious relationship with Leviss as Page Six reported earlier this month: “Raquel dipped out,” a source told the outlet at the time. “Sandoval is not the one for her.”
