Tom and Katie's relationship and marriage were a focal point of Vanderpump Rules for many seasons. They came onto the show as a couple who seemed to have their relationship figured out, minus a few bumps in the road dealing with infidelity. Despite this, the pair decided to get married, although it became obvious that marriage wasn't Tom's priority after revealing that their first marriage was technically unofficial after not filing the proper paperwork.

Despite the warning signs, the couple chose to give their relationship another shot by holding a remarriage ceremony in Las Vegas in 2019, and it appeared that Katie and Tom were moving forward. However, they hit another bump when Tom decided to open up a bar with Tom Sandoval, despite Katie wanting to open up a sandwich shop together. Throughout these roadblocks in their relationship, the couple were still a unit as they were planning to start a family in Vanderpump Rules season 9.

The couple's differences and Tom's lack of empathy towards Katie led to their divorce in 2022. Katie's most recent return during these past few seasons has seen her setting boundaries with Tom, and this has often led to a few conflicts after Katie asked that neither hook up with anyone within their friend group, though Tom went on to kiss Raquel "Rachel" Leviss. As Tom had been caught making disparaging remarks about Katie, there seemed to be no hope of the two ever being friends in the future. However, this hasn't deterred Katie from maintaining her friendships with other castmates.

Despite their failed marriage, it's clear that Tom and Katie have made significant strides in their individual journeys and careers. As they focus on building their businesses and legacies, they have come a long way as they support each other, despite no longer being romantically involved. With Vanderpump Rules season 12 appearing to be delayed, it's great to see Tom actively supporting Katie off-screen as she pursues a long-held aspiration.

Part 3 of the Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion airs May 28 at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo, and is available to stream on Peacock the following day.
