Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has finally apologised to his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix following the pair's highly publicised split.
The actor issued a grovelling apology to his ex-girlfriend amid allegations he had an affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Tom said: "I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I've hurt through this process. Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana.
"I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.
"I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us. I feel really horrible about that."

Tom insisted that his love for Ariana was "stronger than any camera could ever have captured", insisting that some of their "best times together" weren't filmed.
He added: "The same goes for some of our biggest struggles.
"I wish things happened in a different order and our relationship was not severely tarnished, and that it ended with the same respect for her that it began with.

Tom finished his statement by saying he is "beyond sad" by how his relationship with Ariana ended.
"The choices I made hurt so many people,” he wrote. “I acted in a way that clashes with who and how I want to be," he wrote.
"I will continue to reflect and work on myself. I have work to do. I always have, and I always will."
Tom disabled comments on the post.
Ariana allegedly called time on their nine-year relationship after discovering Tom and Raquel had been "communicating inappropriately for months".
