Her blonde bob was styled in loose curls under a billed cap. The reality star completed her look with an oversized black button down shirt. 

Tom, 40, was casual in a black T-shirt with the words ‘Twenty Thousand Hertz’ written on it and black jeans. 

The restaurateur placed a gold chain necklace around his neck and styled his hair is loose spikes. 

Their previous hook-up happened at the wedding between castmates Scheana Shay and Brock Davies and was captured by the cameras covering the event, but the pair reportedly decided they were better off as friends. 

Tom’s ex-wife, Katie Maloney, 36, was not happy with their public display of affection and it caused a rift between her and Raquel, according to US Weekly. 

Katie and Tom, who were married for three years, called it quits in March 2022. 

Katie seemed to confirm her anger when she responded to Raquel’s post, writing, ‘You really thought you did something here but these comments ATE LOLOL’ followed by three skull emojis.

‘Nobody sad,’ she continued, adding, ‘The amount of times the picture landed in my inbox, I couldn’t leave it alone. Desperado.’

The post was not well received by all of Raquel’s followers. Condemnatory comments included, ‘Second hand embarrassment at this,’ Children being children. Such a petty thing to do. JS’ and ‘Well this isn’t cool. I thought you were better than this than to do a post clearly trying to upset Katie. Does that make you feel good?’

Others saw the other side of the story, writing, ‘Katie was never nice to Raquel or (ex-fiancé) James (Kennedy)  and now demands some girl code respect.’

‘Katie is dating and doing her thing,’ they continued, ‘She left Tom, he can do what he wants. These people aren’t real friends. They work together and have to hang out for filming.’
