Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney were together on Saturday for their first official public appearance since finalizing their divorce, appearing on the Vanderpump Rules<\/em> panel at the second annual BravoCon fan event.<\/p>\n

Sitting across from one another, the former couple opened up about how they’ve been doing since news of their split made headlines. Schwartz revealed that it was harder on him than he anticipated.<\/p>\n

“Man, it’s been an emotional roller coaster,” the reality star said. “I feel like for the first few months, I was a sad sack of s— and I think I’m guilty of indulging in it a bit.”<\/p>\n

“I got addicted to the sadness for a bit,” he added. “I turned EMO for a bit. I was wallowing in my own pity party.”<\/p>\n

He went on to admit that he’s moved past those feeling, saying that being at BravoCon has especially lifted his spirits. “I’m good now,” he said.<\/p>\n

Maloney, for her part, kept it simple, saying that’s “good” and “great.”<\/p>\n

Asked what inspired their decision to drop a joint statement to announce their split, Maloney explained that “we kind of had to” when gossip started surfacing online. “There was some rumors and I think I wanted to just live in my truth,” she said. “We’ve already shared so much of our lives.”<\/p>\n

Everyone knowing about the divorce was harder than Schwartz expected. “It was a bummer because we got divorced and we were working through it and I was making peace with it but then when we made the comments about going public, that was hard,” he said. “How do you capture 12 years of a relationship in an Instagram post? It sucks.”<\/p>\n

“I am the No. 1 champion for Katie,” he said. “I know you may not always feel that but I am rooting for you and I love you.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the panel, the Vanderpump Rules<\/em> cast members opened up about how they’ve handled the split.<\/p>\n

“I felt like my mom and dad were getting divorced,” said Tom Sandoval. “I was really sad about it. I would listen to music and cry about it sometimes in the car. It was a lot for me.”<\/p>\n
