It was before he and I were exclusive,” she said before explaining that she kept the secret to protect him.
— Also during WWHL, responding to rumors that Tom and Raquel had recently broken up, Ariana told host Andy Cohen, “I don’t buy that at all. She was sending letters to my house like four days ago.”
Ariana, who still shares a home with the TomTom co-owner explained, “I didn’t open it. It was addressed to him and it was her handwriting.”
