The divorce between Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney is unconventional.
The week that would have been the couple’s sixth wedding anniversary was spent closing on the home they once shared, making it all the more surreal that the Tom Tom co-owner joined his ex on the August 19 episode of her podcast You’re Gonna Love Me with Katie Maloney.
Even though we won’t be legally married until much later this year, Katie said, “I feel like it would be wrong of me not to commemorate our anniversary this year.”

It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to,” Tom said. “Honestly, out of all the weddings I’ve attended, this one is my favorite. That was some kind of sorcery. Perhaps [I] will re-watch the episode, but not while inebriated.”
If he does, it will be the first time he’s seen the entire episode of Vanderpump Rules with the special guests. I’ve seen about 40% of it,” Tom said. I don’t want to ruin the image I have in my head of it since I enjoy it just the way it is.
The reality TV stars continued by saying that they are taking things “day by day” since they are unsure of how they should be managing their divorce, which they announced in March after 12 years of marriage.
Katie’s “I don’t think there are any rules” prompted Tom to propose they keep commemorating their wedding anniversary but in a somewhat modified fashion. He suggested that they celebrate their anniversary by “getting drunk and having a beautiful supper” because they were “so close.” “People can come over and hang out and everything.”
Strange as it may seem, Tom and Katie have both stated that they want to stay friends even after they’ve broken up. “We still spend time together, but it’s not an unhealthy, excessive amount of time; we give each other space and limits,” Tom said. We’ve maintained our friendship and keep in touch regularly.”
They also have to consider the two pets they share custody of. In Tom’s words, “We still got a good little unit here.”
“Continued Tom, “I won’t say I’m happier than I’ve ever been, but I’m quite optimistic and grateful…
The fact that we are still friends makes me pleased. I think we’ve done very okay getting over each other.”
