Here comes the bride? Ariana Madix is a changed woman after ex Tom Sandoval‘s affair made headlines in March – but that hasn’t changed her take on getting hooked.

“I still wouldn’t want a wedding,” said 37-year-old Madix Glamor in the June cover story published on Thursday, June 8. “For me, it’s about marriage.”

The Vanderpump Rules star explained: “There’s something about weddings, and the marching band, and the bachelorette party. I just don’t want any of that. And I think that’s a big part of it for me.”

Us weekly confirmed in March that Madix and Sandoval, 40, called it quits after nine years together. Their breakup made headlines when news broke that the TomTom co-founder was involved in a months-long affair with their costar Rachel Leviss.

Prior to their split, the Florida native was vocal about not wanting to tie the knot despite being in a committed relationship with Sandoval.

“It’s not on the agenda for us,” Madix said exclusively Us in November 2018 when asked about a possible engagement. Sandoval, for his part, teased at the time that they will “probably never” take that step in their relationship.

After eight years together, the couple has remained on the same page about their future and their decision not to walk down the aisle. “Honestly, I just think that when you’re together, you’ll be together forever,” Madix told Exclusively Us in July 2022. “It really doesn’t matter if you have the wedding or not.”

The Something About Her co-founder continued, “I think there’s a lot of emphasis on staying as well. However long [people say] they were together [makes them] considered [to be a] more successful as a couple. And I feel like… if you’re happy, stay in it, and if you’re not, you know… so, I’m happy! I’m here!”

The co-owner of Schwartz & Sandy agreed, saying, “I’m happy, yes.”

The pair’s relationship exploded the following year after Sandoval cheated on Madix with Leviss, 28. Despite the backlash over their romance, the Missouri native revealed during Part 3 of Season 10 Pump rules reunion, which aired on Wednesday, June 7, that he was “in love” with the former pageant queen.

Madix, for her part, knocked Leviss down during the reunion for stabbing her in the back and being in contact with Sandoval from the summer of 2022. ‘You are ugly. You are horrible. You are rotten. Like a moldy piece of fruit,” she joked on Wednesday’s episode, to which Leviss chimed in, saying, “I know.

The buy my daughter back actress has since moved on from the restaurateur and is in a new relationship with Daniel Wai. While talking to GlamorMadix teased that after such a rocky year, she could be ready for a shake-up in her life.

“I think I like change,” she told the outlet. “I took it up and moved to New York with no friends and no job. I moved from New York to LA with no friends, no job, no money. If I picked up from LA and moved… It’s like I’m a new version of myself.

For now, the Bravo personality is hoping to have a few drama-free months ahead of season 11 of Pump rules. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Can’t I just have a really nice summer where nothing bad happens, where I’m great, you know?'” Madix confessed. “Maybe this is the year.”
