Vanderpump Rules fans are slowly getting answers about Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney’s split.The 39-year-old TomTom co-owner spoke out while running errands in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 16, telling photographers that he is doing “OK.”“Of course I’m sad, but, you know, we still love each other very much,” he said.When asked whether costar Tom Sandoval — who Maloney, 35, butted heads with during season 9 on Vanderpump Rules — was to blame for the breakup, Schwartz shut that theory down.“No, no that’s all on me,” he said. “I wish I had a scapegoat, but that’s all on me. … It’s complicated, obviously.

But nothing in particular. You know, life, you know. It’s complicated.”Maloney and Schwartz announced their separation earlier this month.“After 12 years of an adventure through life together Tom and I are ending our marriage.

This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose,” the “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast host wrote on Tuesday, March 15. “ We have deep admiration for one another that will always remain and we cherish our friendship.

Although we may be on different paths we will continue to love and support one another’s happiness.”The former model, for his part, noted that he is “not the victim,” but revealed it was Maloney who pulled the plug.“Fully respect Katie’s decision and we’ve had healthy, productive conversations about it.
