Tom Schwartz is officially off the market — and apparently floating on a cloud of rose-colored bliss. The “Vanderpump Rules” alum used his BravoCon 2025 appearance to confirm what Cocktailers have been whispering for weeks: he is dating model Kiana Carroll. And he did not just confirm it — he declared her the “love of my life.” Subtlety has never been Schwartz’s strong suit.

During the “Peaks and The Valley” panel on Friday, November 14, Tom finally addressed the dating rumors head-on while also confirming he’ll be joining “The Valley” season 3. But the announcement that got the loudest reaction? His very public affection for Kiana, a model who splits her time between Los Angeles and New York.
“She’s dreamy,” Tom said, repeating it for emphasis. “She’s so dreamy.”
Even though he described their relationship as “new and fresh,” Tom didn’t hesitate to go big. “She’s the love of my life,” he said, adding, “I’m happy, I feel like I’m under a love spell right now… I’ve got the rose-colored lenses on.”
Naturally, the panel also addressed his other rumored romance: Lala Kent. In September, Lala jokingly posted a photo of the two with the caption “soft launch,” sending fans spiraling. At BravoCon, Tom played along, asking her, “What happened to us?” Lala didn’t miss a beat: “I would eat this man alive,” she said, adding that flirting with him is “so much fun.”

Tom also updated fans on where things stand with ex-wife Katie Maloney. Despite their 2022 divorce, he insists they’re in a great place. “I love Katie so much,” he said. “We’re great friends… She’s thriving, she’s killing it, I love Katie.”
Tom first hinted at his new relationship on Lala’s podcast, “Give Them Lala,” back in October, where he confirmed he was dating someone and joked about the “soft launch.” Lala even hyped Kiana herself, saying she has a “supermodel stunning face.”
If Schwartz is in a love spell, consider Kiana the sorceress.
