The Vanderpump Rules cast member revealed where she stands with Tori Keeth today.
On Vanderpump Rules Season 11, viewers watched as ex-spouses Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz navigated having feelings for the same woman, Tori Keeth (who happened to also be Scheana Shay’s occasional babysitter).
Schwartz asked Tori on a date first, but Katie ended up stealing a kiss from the musician during the group’s annual beach day.
After filming wrapped on Season 11, Schwartz began dating Sophia Skoro, while Katie has been more tight-lipped about her current dating life.
During a recent podcast appearance, Katie revealed where she stands with Tori today, and she shared whether she felt any competition with her ex-husband.
Why Katie Maloney pursued Tori Keeth
When Katie first began to develop feelings for Tori, she wasn’t aware that her ex had already set his sights on Scheana’s babysitter.
“I didn’t know that Tori and Schwartz had a thing, or they were talking,” Katie said on an episode of Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino. “Because I had started to have more conversations with her when we’d be out, even not on camera, just she was coming around the group more, and so I was just like, ‘Oh, she’s really cute.'”
Once Katie did find out about her ex-husband’s connection with Tori she still didn’t care.
“And then I found out that her and Schwartz maybe had a thing, or were talking, and I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t really care,'” she said. “Because I thought he was into Jo [Wenberg]. Where’s Jo in the mix of all of this? Because there was Katie [Flood] from Winter House, and then there’s Jo in the mix, and I don’t know what was going on. I was just like, ‘Well…'”
When host Danny Pellegrino pointed out that Katie has had to “worry about his feelings for forever,” she agreed.
“I did. And he was never concerned with mine, so I was just like, ‘Well, let’s just see how it goes. They haven’t gone on a date, so let’s just see who she likes more,'” Katie continued on the podcast. “I mean, I didn’t intend for it to turn into this big competition, I didn’t know where they stood…”
Katie and Tori are not dating at the moment, but they are on good terms. “Every now and then, we’ll send a text or an Instagram or something like that, but we haven’t hung out,” Katie said about their relationship today. “It was very casual, yeah.”
