Tom Sandoval's actual age remains a significant enigma, and now Tom Schwartz is joining in on the excitement. During the weekend festivities in honor of Sandoval's birthday, Billie Lee shared an Instagram picture of the cake that Schwartz, who is 40 years old, selected for the event. The cake's frosting displayed the words "Happy 40th birthday, again," and Lee shared the photo on social media on July 8th, Saturday.
One month earlier, Sandoval, aged 41, garnered attention when he mentioned his age in unaired footage from season 10 of Vanderpump Rules. In Peacock's Extended Secrets Revealed, which was filmed during the summer of 2022, the co-owner of TomTom referred to himself as a "39-year-old boy" while on a date with his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.

After Sandoval made his comment, a message appeared on the screen: "Fact Check: Tom is 40." Madix, who is 38 years old herself, responded by calling Sandoval a "weirdo" for claiming to be in his late 30s.
Sandoval's co-star James Kennedy also revealed his age while discussing his affair with Raquel Leviss. In a confessional during the June episode, the 31-year-old DJ called out Sandoval, saying, "You're 42 and washed up. You once had a beautiful home and a beautiful girlfriend, but you threw it all away for an airhead bimbo."
We confirmed in March that Sandoval and Madix have called it quits after nearly dating for a decade following Sandoval's unfaithfulness. Sandoval subsequently reflected on how a significant birthday altered his perspective on life.

"In an episode of the 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' podcast in April, he expressed his feelings about turning 40 and how his perspective on life had become very grim. He confessed to losing his optimism and drive, feeling trapped and contemplating the need for change to regain motivation and optimism. In contrast, Madix refuted Sandoval's assertion that they were drifting apart prior to his infidelity with Leviss, who is 28 years old."
"I believe that we would have numerous incredible experiences together. So, even if there were a few weeks that were not enjoyable or if I had doubts about something in the relationship, there were so many other positive aspects. It was challenging to determine if this person wasn't right for me because I had never been in such a long-term relationship before," she shared during her appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in May. Following the resolution of the drama during the season 10 reunion, which was aired in June, the Bravo cast members commenced shooting new episodes for the show. While Schwartz recently acknowledged his reluctance to return for season 11, he has been seen filming alongside Sandoval.
“I always feel a hint of fear when a new season begins. Our journey with this group has been intense, and we are quite a volatile bunch,” he told Us exclusively in June. “Our friendships have always had their ups and downs. Frankly, I don't recall having arguments with anyone outside of this group. We have a deeply rooted history and have faced many challenges together, but it all comes from a place of love."
Schwartz further expressed, "I believe I will adopt a more composed demeanor going forward. Perhaps, in the beginning of [Scandoval], I appeared indecisive. I withdrew a bit."
