Reality star Tom Schwartz of Vanderpump Rules fame has been linked to his fair share of women over the years. Of course, most notably, Tom was previously married to his co-star Katie Maloney.
After their shocking divorce, he was rumored to be dating Jo Wenberg, a relationship he subsequently labeled a fling, and for a time, Tom was also possibly hooking up with Winter House co-star Katie Flood.
But now, Tom is opening up about his relationship with a much younger woman named Sophia Skoro. How did the Bravo star meet the 23-year-old curated vintage designer? What is the status of their romance today?
Here is everything to know about Tom Schwartz and Sophia Skoro's relationship timeline.

Tom said on the April 16, 2024 episode of The Viall Files podcast that the two "met on a whim at TomTom," the bar he co-owns with his controversial friend Tom Sandoval, although he didn't share an exact timeline of when that meeting took place.
The VPR alum also said, “It’s funny, ironically, around that moment, I made a pledge, not only to myself, but to the universe, that I will not hang out or date. I’m just going to be single and work for the next two years. … Then I bumped into her.”

When Sophia shared a couple of super-short TikToks featuring the Bravolebrity, with one being posted as early as February 2024, fans began wondering if the two were dating.
Fans also began chattering about the potential couple's age difference, since he is 41. Remember, she is just 23.
Tom addressed that very issue while speaking to Nick Viall for his popular podcast, saying, “Honestly, if I was a lecherous old man trolling bars, seeking out young women, I think I would feel gross, but we just bumped into each other. We hit it off.”
