Although Ali Rafiq forged bonds with several “Vanderpump Rules” cast members, he enjoyed the longest relationship with Tom Sandoval. The pair met as children in St. Louis. Despite growing up in the same stomping grounds, they chose very different career paths. While Sandoval became a reality star, Rafiq turned to photography, a medium about which he seemed very passionate. According to LinkedIn, Rafiq attended Maryville University of Saint Louis. Rafiq also had a personal website, which previously housed his digital portfolio. Although much of it has since been archived, his headshot collection is still live as of this writing.
Rafiq also shared his joy for photography across his Instagram account. Many of his last self-posted photos featured some of his gorgeous professional shots. “Polaris from the porch before the clouds rolled in … bleed from light pollution,” Rafiq captioned a breathtaking photo of stars on May 11. One day earlier, Rafiq posted a striking photo of lightning at night. “Crawler lighting from tornado Saturday a few weeks back, 5 stack photo,” wrote Rafiq. On May 3, Rafiq posted an aerial shot of St. Louis. “St. Louis from the international space station. May 2nd 2023 around 2 am,” Rafiq captioned the post.
