The woman was reportedly blind-sighted by the side romance, which came out during filming.
Sandoval denied cheatingmultiple times, even trying to downplay his relationship with Leviss as just two friends.
However, after Madix found a screen recording of an intimate FaceTime call and messages that revealed the rendezvous.
Neither Leviss nor Sandoval could deny their sneaking around any longer.
Both issued public apologies to Madix, with Leviss saying she was seeking mental health counseling after the affair.
Still, even he was not prepared to learn that she was carrying on a secret relationship with Sandoval.
Surprisingly, he did not have anything negative to say about the two.
“You know, in like a weird way I hope so,” Kennedy replied.
He went on to add that he wished them the best, especially if they can overcome such controversy.
Kennedy and Leviss announced they were calling off their engagement in December 2021.
At the time, the two attributed their split to “different goals.”
Even in his shock, Kennedy admits there were lingering signs of Leviss' strong admiration for the restaurateur.
He referred to his former fiance as a “massive Sandoval fan.”
He also theorized that Leviss and Sandoval just got too close.
Others on the show were less caught off guard.
Leviss' former friend Scheana Shay confronted her shortly before the public apology to Ariana Madix was issued.
Shay wanted Leviss' to come clean about the affair and their confrontation eventually became physical.
Leviss filed for a temporary restraining order against Shay, which was later dropped.
The future for the pair remains unclear.
Hopefully, the heartache they caused Madix and the entire “Vanderpump Rules” crew was worth it.
