On March 15, Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz announced their plans to divorce after 12 years together. The Bravo stars shared the news of their separation by posting simultaneous messages on their respective Instagram accounts.
“I never thought I would have to make an announcement like this,” Maloney began her Instagram post. “After 12 years on an adventure through life together Tom and I are ending our marriage.” She wrote that their breakup was “not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose.”
Maloney’s announcement was just one slide of typed words, but Schwartz shared 10 slides, including several photos.
“Well this sucks,” his lengthy Instagram post began. “How am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f***in canned Instagram caption.” Schwartz continued to write, “…I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word yet bc it’s too painful.” His caption also clarified that the divorce was Maloney’s idea, writing, “Fully respect Katie’s decision and we’ve had healthy, productive conversations about it. It would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me whilst not happy.”
After the divorce announcement, Schwartz has been rumored to be hooking up with another Vanderpump Rules co-star, Raquel Leviss. Leviss recently broke off her engagement to another cast member, James Kennedy.
Now, media outlets are reporting that Maloney has a new boyfriend: 25-year-old actor Satchel Clendenin.

According to Hollywood Life, Katie Maloney’s former Vanderpump Rules co-star, Stassi Schroeder, fully supports her new romance with Satchel Clendenin.
“Stassi knows things are still very new between Katie and Satchel but she couldn’t be happier for her friend,” an inside source told the publication. “Not because she’s dating, but because she sees how happy Katie is with her life in general.”
The source added, “Stassi has been by Katie’s side through thick and thin, and was there for her all throughout her divorce from Schwartz. Stassi just wants Katie to be happy and thinks she deserves the world.”
Although the relationship is still fairly new, Maloney has already introduced Clendenin to some of her friends. “A few people have met Satchel and so far everybody thinks he’s great. He’s really laid back which Stassi thinks is a good match for Katie,” the source shared. “She realizes there’s an age difference, but Satchel seems pretty mature for his age and Katie is enjoying his company so that’s all that matters. She sees that Katie isn’t putting too much pressure on things and is just having fun for the time being.”
