Tom Sandoval jets out of LA as Ariana Madix pretends to move out of their home

Reality TV

Tom Sandoval is dipping out.

The embattled “Vanderpump Rules” star was spotted waiting in line to get through security at LAX airport on Sunday.

In a TikTok video shared by a fan Monday, Sandoval — dressed casually in sweats and a baseball cap — is seen approaching an attendant to hand over his ID before heading to his gate.

“Tom Sandoval fleeing the country ahead of the VPR Reunion,” the clip’s caption claimed. “At international terminal of LAX.”

Though it’s unclear where Sandoval, 40, was headed, a source tells Page Six that an international trip was likely not on the agenda, as the cover band frontman has a concert scheduled in Illinois on Thursday.

Sandoval’s airport visit came shortly before his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix pretended to move out of their shared Valley Village, Calif., home in a spon-con stunt for SoFi.

Even though we got pictures of Madix, 37, seemingly leaving the exes’ $2 million modern farmhouse on Monday, it was later revealed that she merely cashed in on the the current public interest in her living arrangement.

“I’m moving up, not out,” she said in an ad on her Instagram Story. “Well not yet at least. It’s time to get my financial house in order.”

In a subsequent post on her grid, Madix touted the benefits of employing SoFi for her personal financial needs.

“I’m only surrounding myself with my ride-or-dies from now on,” she wrote in part. “SoFi is the all-in-one finance app with a whole squad of financial planners who have YOUR best interests in mind.”

Madix’s fake move comes nearly three months after Sandoval’s affair with “Pump Rules” co-star Raquel Leviss shook the Bravoverse — and forced Madix to dump Sandoval after nearly a decade together.

Sources previously told Page Six that the headline-making betrayal left the Something About Her co-founder “heartbroken” and “blindsided.”

While Madix has since moved on with fitness trainer Daniel Wai, Sandoval has shut down rumors that he is dating Texas-based influencer Karlee Hale.

“[He] recently hung out with her because he happened to be in Austin performing with his band,” his rep told TMZ on Tuesday.

Leviss, for her part, has been in a mental health facility for over a month amid backlash over the bombshell affair. Page Six reported last week that she and Sandoval called it quits on their tainted romance.

“Raquel dipped out,” an insider told us. “Sandoval is not the one for her.”

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
