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 used to be selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt anyone I really like,” the TomTom co-owner wrote in an apology on Instagram March 8. “Nobody 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 individuals, 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 long run of her relationship with Tom.
“I would like to maintain my health, work on self-growth and take time to be pleased with being alone,” Raquel told E! News in a press release. “I take care of Tom, and I don’t desire to label anything or predict what lies ahead. At once, I would like to heal.”
