Who Is Victoria Lee Robinson? What to Know About Tom Sandoval's Ex

Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval began dating now-ex Victoria Lee Robinson in 2024.

"We met through a friend," Robinson recalled during an April 2025 appearance on the "Viall Files" podcast. "It's kinda funny. My friend, she was like, ‘Do you want to go to this [Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras] show?' Being honest, I looked at the phone on YouTube, and I was like, ‘Do I really have to go to this? Come on.' It wasn't the best video … they could have shown me."

Despite her initial hesitations, Robinson attended the concert and quickly struck up a bond with Sandoval.

"I got to know him not knowing anything," Robinson said. "I got to hear his side. … I've given him a lot of s*** because I'm a girl, [and] like, I've never cheated in my entire life. I've never been a homewrecker and I'm not for any of that."

Less than one year earlier, Sandoval broke up with longtime girlfriendAriana Madix after admittedly having an affair with their Pump Rules costar Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.

"I think he was matched with me for a reason, and I think he has grown," Robinson added on the April 2025 podcast episode. "I'm so proud of him."

Sandoval, however, filed a restraining order against Robinson after an alleged domestic incident. Neither Sandoval nor Robinson immediately addressed the situation. Us Weekly reached out for comment.

A source further told Us in June 2026 that Sandoval and Robinson broke up.

Robinson claimed on an April 2025 episode of the "Viall Files" podcast that she once had a "little thing" with Leonardo DiCaprio back in 2016.

"So, him and I are still really good," she said at the time. "Well, we're not really good friends now. If we see each other in passing, we're cool. I'm actually closer to Tobey Maguire, [who is] his really good friend."

According to Robinson, she was "never in a relationship" with DiCaprio.

"We would hang out as friends for most of the time," Robinson recalled. "We would go out and we'd meet up and all [these] girls would just, like, swarm him and stare at him. It was just so freaky. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, what is going on?' I think he'd like the fact that … I'd treat him like a normal person ‘cause he is a normal person, just very successful and great at his job."

Victoria Lee Robinson Was Hesitant About Joining Tom Sandoval on Bravo

After Pump Rules recast the SURvers for season 12, several of Sandoval's peers made the leap to The Valley spinoff.

"I've gone back and forth about The Valley, you know, wanting to be on it, not wanting to be on it," Sandoval exclusively told Usin March 2026. "I would be open to something, but it just depends on where I'm at in my life and, like, what's happening."

At the time, Sandoval claimed that Robinson was "apprehensive" about potentially joining him on TV.

"She goes back and forth about it," he told Us. "It can be overwhelming. I mean, you know, she sees how polarizing and how intense the fans can be."

Why Did Tom Sandoval File a Restraining Order Against Victoria Lee Robinson?

Us confirmed in June 2026 that Sandoval sought a protective order against Robinson and her father, claiming that he was subject to "verbal and physical abuse."

"I am seeking a restraining order against [Victoria's dad] based on the verbal and physical abuse he has perpetrated against me, the most recent incident being on June 3, wherein he grabbed me and restrained me, chased me into the bedroom and punched a 12-inch hole in my spare bedroom door where I was barricading myself," Sandoval claimed in an impact statement. "I am afraid of [Will] and his daughter and request the court's protection."

Neither Sandoval, Robinson or her father have addressed the accusations. A source also told Us that the pair had broken up.

"Tom has endured this abuse for many months," the insider claimed to Us. "For the most part, Tom has been supporting Victoria and her dad as Tom has been paying the rent and utilities. Victoria's dad has been living in the house for free. He put up with far too much for too long."
