‘The Valley’: Who Is Tom Schwartz’s Girlfriend Kiana Carroll?
For more than a decade, Tom Schwartz‘s ups and downs with now ex-wife Katie Maloney were documented on Vanderpump Rules. The former couple met in 2011, tied the knot in 2016, and announced their split in 2022.
Although they’ve remained on amicable terms since the divorce, Tom and Katie have both moved on in the romance department. Now, fans are getting new insight into Tom’s life on Season 3 of The Valley.
On last week’s episode, Tom went out for a singles’ night with Lala Kent and Michelle Saniei. During the night out, he connected with Michelle’s friend, as well as a woman he invited to the bar after meeting her at a nail salon earlier that day.
Neither of these women is the lady in Tom’s life today, though. He has been dating girlfriend Kiana Carroll since October 2025 and recently told Swooon that he’s “happy and in love.” The pair even got matching tattoos! Scroll down to learn more about Kiana and the relationship.
What does Kiana Carroll do for a living?
Kiana is a professional model. Per her modeling bio for Industry Management, she was scouted when she was 19 years old while getting frozen yogurt with a friend. From there, she transitioned from being a college student studying psychology to a full-time model.
Tom’s girlfriend is Puerto Rican American and was born and raised in Florida.
How did Tom Schwartz meet his girlfriend?
Like many good L.A. couples, Tom and Kiana met at a bar, he revealed to Swooon. Tom said the first meeting actually happened “a long time ago” and resulted in a friendship for “a long time.”
“Probably longer than we’ve been dating, we were just friends,” Tom explained. “Cordial. We’d text each other once in a while, hang out. But [in October] it kind of started evolving and becoming something more than just friends. We’ve been living happily ever after since.”
Will Kiana Carroll be on The Valley?
Yes, Kiana will appear on The Valley, Tom confirmed to Swooon. “It’s kind of cool falling in love in real time on camera,” he admitted. “She filmed sparingly, but she was such a good sport about it and she’s pretty candid.”
Tom said he’s “excited” to share his relationship with the world, although he admitted, “I’m a little protective of it because it’s so sacred and I’m very happy right now and I don’t want to screw it up.”
Does Tom Schwartz have kids?
No, Tom does not have any children yet, but he has expressed his desire to be a father in the past.
“Eventually, I’m gonna meet somebody, I’m gonna ask her to move in, [and] if I’m lucky, make some babies,” he said on an episode of The Valley, before later changing his sentiment to “baby” instead of “babies.”
He also admitted, “I am sad that I don’t have a family right now. I think I’ll find it. I’m ready to, probably, put myself back out there.”
