Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney Break Up

Some fans recently started speculating about trouble in the couple’s relationship after Katie was photographed without her wedding ring on.

Tom and Katie first tied the knot during an August 2016 wedding ceremony that aired on VPR‘s fifth season and was officiated by their TV boss Lisa Vanderpump. However, it was later revealed that the duo never actually filed the paperwork to make their marriage legal.

Katie later clarified the mix-up on Twitter, writing, “We got a marriage license… we got married we all signed it.. we sent it in.. we just never received our marriage certificate and when we called to investigate they said they never received our paperwork.”

She continued, “If you watch our wedding episode you actually see us sign the damn thing… I don’t know why Tom said he lost it. Not havin[g] our marriage certificate didn’t make us any less married in our hearts or minds. But legally.. yes that needed to be handled.”

In 2019, E! News broke the news that Tom and Katie had applied for a marriage license for a second wedding ceremony in Las Vegas. The duo legally became husband and wife on July 25 and celebrated with past and present co-stars Stassi Schroeder, Lala Kent, Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix in Sin City.
