While at the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2023 over the weekend, the Vanderpump Rules <\/em>star spoke to Extra <\/strong>on the red carpet and opened up about his relationship status.<\/p>\n “I am single, yes,” said Sandoval.<\/p>\n “Dating in general is awkward as it is,” he continued. “It’s just weird. It feels like a job interview, I don’t usually like to go on dates unless I know them already.”<\/p>\n “I would rather hang out with them and like their friends, see who they surround themselves with … see how they act when they get drunk, then later go out on dates,” added Sandoval.<\/p>\n The reality star also opened up about “co-existing” with ex Madix, with whom he still lives and “probably” — at least according to him — will for some time.<\/p>\n “Oh yeah, we are super chummy,” he said, sarcastically. “In fact, she is over there. Ariana, say hi! Just kidding.”<\/p>\n “We have mutual friends, obviously, on the same show together, so we have to co-exist, y’know,” he continued. “It’s gonna be a slow process. We will handle it the best we can.”<\/p>\n When asked if they speak at all in the home, he added, “I don’t know. You just have to wait and see. The season’s coming up. I can’t talk too much about it.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/49\/5by4\/2023\/08\/29\/49bc7d8e0da94f15a818742aa2dc14d9_xs.jpg\")
