Tom Schwartz finds himself taken aback by the overwhelming public interest in his personal dating life.

Recently, the Vanderpump Rules alum disclosed that he is not currently in a serious relationship, seemingly confirming his split from Sophia Skoro after a brief romance that lasted under a year. This revelation has led many fans to speculate about his next moves in the dating scene.

“Honestly, I am not formally dating anyone,” Tom revealed during an interview with Us Weekly on February 19. “I am just hanging out. So, there is not much to say about my love life right now.?

Furthermore, the 42-year-old star shared that he spent Valentine’s Day this year without any romantic engagements, stating, ?I was in Minnesota,? he elaborated, ?with one of my first loves: the great state of Minnesota.? This comment reflects his light-hearted approach to this traditionally romantic holiday.

However, fans shouldn’t be entirely surprised by this update. Just last month, Tom made it clear that he wasn’t actively seeking a serious relationship, even though he had met someone who piqued his interest. “Dating is like the last thing on my mind,” he expressed during a January 28 appearance on The LadyGang podcast. “There’s someone I really enjoy hanging out with, but it’s been the most insane two years of my life.” This statement highlights the challenges and changes he has experienced recently.
