“I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I hurt in the process,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star said. wrote on Instagram Tuesday night.
“Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made rash decisions that hurt someone I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so painfully and publicly.”
I can only imagine how devastating this was for Ariana and everyone around us. I feel really terrible about it,” Sandoval continued.
“My biggest regret is that I insulted Ariana. I never intended to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”
His love for Maddix was “stronger than any camera could ever capture”, Sandoval insisted, adding that some of their “best times together were never filmed”.
“The same goes for some of our biggest struggles,” he wrote to his 968,000 followers on the platform.
I wish things had happened in a different order and that our relationship had not been so tarnished, that it would end with the same respect for her that it began with. I owe it better to Ariana.”
The Bravolebrity, 39, said he is “not sad” about the way his nearly decade-long relationship with Madix ended.
“The choices I’ve made hurt a lot of people,” he wrote. “I have acted in a way that is contrary to who and how I want to be.”
“I will continue to think and work on myself. I have work to do. I always have, and I always will.”
The post marks the first time that Sandoval has publicly apologized to Madix for the fallout from his affair scandal.

Sandoval explained that Schwartz, 40, found out about it “very recently” and “didn’t condone it.”
He then apparently took out his anger towards his new L.A. bar, Schwartz & Sandy, which fans called him to “boycott” after news of his cheating scandal broke last week.
“There are 3 other partners and 20 employees, who depend on the restaurant to earn income for themselves and their families,” Sandoval wrote. “exactly like [first bar] @TomTom, I’m a small part of something much bigger.
Please direct your anger at me, not at them. They did nothing wrong.”
Sandoval vowed to step back from work “out of respect” from his colleagues and employees.
