During the Thursday, Oct. 3, episode of his and Cartwright’sWhen Reality Hitspodcast — which Taylor recorded alone — Taylor revealed that he and Sandoval rekindled their friendship. Taylor, 45, answered a few listeners’ questions, including one who asked if Sandoval, 42, had reached out to Taylor afterhe spent 30 days in a mental health treatment programover the summer.
“I have been hanging out with him a little bit more lately,” Taylor continued. “He comes to the bar, he sings karaoke. You know, he’s on tour right now, but I just hung out with him and his mom and his dad, and it was just great to see him.”
“I love Tom, and I will always love him no matter what he does,” he confessed. “He’s my best friend, along withTom Schwartz. They’re both my best friends.”
“People make mistakes in life, but you gotta move on from it,” Taylor added. “We all gotta forgive each other at some point.” He did not elaborate on his remark about forgiveness.

“He did go through a lot of things. He caused it. He did a very bad thing, but the world just came down on him,” he continued.
In March, Taylor explained toUS Weeklythat he “did not go after Tom Sandoval about cheating.”
“That had nothing to do with it … Everybody on the show has cheated,” Taylor said. “My anger issue was how Sandoval handled it afterward. He didn’t stay here. He didn’t take the bullets."
