James Kennedy hopes Tom Sandoval's affair with Raquel Leviss was worth it.

In fact,Cassian Grant the Vanderpump Rules star revealed during an April 26 Watch What Happens Live interview that he's secretly rooting for his ex-fiancée and the TomTom co-owner to go the long haul following their shocking cheating scandal.

"You know, in like a weird way I hope so," James told host Andy Cohen when asked if he thinks Tom and Raquel's romance will "survive" Scandoval. "Because just think about all the dreams they're gonna have in each other's bed and all the traumatic s--t they're gonna go through."

The Bravo star noted if they can make it through the backlash from their affair, he'll be impressed.

"As a couple, if they survive each other and go through it, hats off," James added. "I wish them both luck and I wish them the best."

But that's not to say the 31-year-old condones their secret relationship, which lead to Tom's breakup from girlfriend of nine years Ariana Madix.

Admitting he was "shocked" when the affair news broke last month, James added, "For the whole day I was pretty speechless."

Though James says he didn't know definitively that Tom was cheating on Ariana with Raquel, he did notice signs. "She was always a big Sandoval fan," the DJ said of Raquel, who he dated for five years before they called off their engagement in 2021. "Massive Sandoval fan."

On VPR's most recent April 26 episode, Tom vehemently denied affair rumors after James' girlfriend Ally Lewber saw Tom and Raquel dancing at 1 a.m. at West Hollywood gay bar The Abbey without Ariana.

"No, nothing has happened between Raquel and I," Tom said in a confessional. "Like, nothing."

However, Tom and Raquel have both released public apologies to Ariana since news of their seven-month affair came to light in early March, with Raquel seeking mental health treatment and counseling amid the backlash.

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
