Victoria Lee Robinson Makes a Rare Statement About Dating Tom Sandoval: "Love"

Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, have had a whirlwind of a year so far. It's been about six months since the Vanderpump Rules cast member was first spotted at his bar, Schwartz & Sandy's, with Victoria — and they have only gotten closer since then. Although Tom has been very outspoken about their relationship, the model shares less about their romance.  Until now...

"Life lately [and] people I love," Victoria captioned a recent photo, below, giving a small glimpse at her relationship with Tom. (While her Instagram account is private, Tom later re-shared her sweet message to his Instagram Stories.)

Victoria Lee Robinson defends her relationship with boyfriend, Tom Sandoval

This Instagram post is not the first time that Victoria has stated that she is in "love" with Tom. When one fan account posted a snippet from a podcast talking about Tom's relationship with Victoria last month, on Instagram, she took to the comments to defend herself and her boyfriend. "Definitely not a PR girlfriend," she replied to one Instagram commenter.

"We met on our own time through my friend," she added. "This is the silliest comment I've ever seen. Also, I prefer not to watch the show (TV in general) but that doesn't mean I live under a rock. I'm obviously dating the guy and know what's going on, and I choose to be with someone I love. Have a good day."

Tom Sandoval's comments on Victoria Lee Robinson

During an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show, Tom spoke openly about his relationship with Victoria. "[She] does very well for herself [and] has her own house," he said on what drew him to her. It also helps that "[she] doesn't care about social media following or anything."

"She's also very generous, she's very sweet, she takes care of people, she's very nurturing, very maternal, and she's spontaneous," he added. "We have a lot of fun together."
