Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Schwartz is sharing new insight into his relationship with Kiana Carroll.
In a Nov. 12 Instagram post, Tom shared that his rumored girlfriend recently sat as a guest on his podcast, Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz. There, the Bravoleb promised an in-depth look into the “fierce” world of modeling — where Kiana has forged a successful living — and the lesser-known challenges of the industry.
“Let’s go to one [of my] favorite places in the world, NYC, [with] one of my favorite humans in the world, [Kiana],” Tom captioned his post. “She’s got charisma, moxy and is as funny as she is beautiful. With cold beer in hand, we riff on the current state of the modeling biz from her chic high-rise apartment. Here’s your peek behind the curtain into the glamorous, gritty, and unpredictable world of professional modeling.”
Tom went on to publish 20 pics and video clips, from Kiana’s stunning modeling shots to time spent in the Big Apple. Dining out, airplane rides, and even Kiana wearing a towel in bed were just a few of the pair’s more up-close moments he chose to share with his followers. The Valley’s Michelle Saniei and Zack Wickham were among those to show love for the post, as well as Jesse Lally, who commented, “hard launch.”
Tom has teased Kiana on his social media in recent days, beginning with an Instagram Story on Nov. 6, showing them holding hands in the car while Kiana looked away from the camera. More recently, on Nov. 9, Tom shared one of Kiana’s Stories as they sat in a bar with her arm around Tom’s shoulders.

Amid the dating rumors that swirled between Tom and former VPR castmate Lala Kent, Tom revealed on the Oct. 8 episode of her Untraditionally Lala podcast that he, in fact, was “dating” someone new. At the time, Lala had teasingly shared a “soft-launch” photo of her and Tom, and Tom said his new — albeit unnamed — girlfriend was “in on the joke.” He added, “She gets it totally.”
Lala respected Tom’s desire to keep his relationship private, but admitted she’d met her in person, commenting on her “super hot face.”
“Some would call it a supermodel stunning face,” Lala continued. “I, like, kind of couldn’t put together words when I saw her.”
Alexis Bellino reacted to Shannon Beador complimenting her wedding to ex John Janssen. Alexis said she hopes Shannon can “finally move on” and leave “my husband’s name out of her mouth” because it makes her look “like an idiot.”
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Shannon congratulated Alexis after her wedding to John, who sued Shannon for $75,000 after their split. Shannon expressed well wishes, and she said the ceremony looked “beautiful.” She also repeated this sentiment at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.
On Reality with The King, Alexis was asked how she felt about Shannon’s compliment.
“I don’t really know. And I mean, I’m glad that it feels like she can finally move on,” said Alexis. “And hopefully now next season — if she’s back on the show — she’ll leave my husband’s name out of her mouth, because it makes her look kind of like an idiot to bring him up this many years later … after he’s like fully married.”
“So hopefully that has been a lesson for her watching it play back this season,” she went on. “But I did feel like she meant it, because there’s no one that can say my wedding was beautiful and think they’re lying, because it was beautiful. It was one of the most beautiful things that actually came together. You know, when you’re creating the vision … of a wedding, you don’t know till the day of. You think you have this vision, but it might not look like [it]. All the suits … and dresses that we had and all the stuff we were trying to put together, I wouldn’t know until we got everybody together for that picture.”
During the reunion, Tamra Judge suggested that Alexis’ wedding was one of the best she’s ever attended. On the podcast, Alexis said she “appreciated” how Tamra was “sensitive” about Shannon “sitting there” during her answer.
“But Tamra’s asked a question in front of everybody and has to answer honestly. And I know that Tamra held back saying a lot of what she really wanted to say about the wedding, just in respect for Shannon’s … difficulty moving forward with it all during the season,” she said. “But yeah, so I do believe Shannon, that she thought it was gorgeous. Because it was.”
