Katie Maloney andTom Schwartzare proud they can letVanderpump Rulesfans in on where they stand with each other in the months followingtheir breakup.
“We’re still hanging out, not in an unhealthy, exorbitant way, but we give each other space, boundaries,” shared Schwartz, 39, onFriday’s episodeof Dear Media’sYou’re Gonna Love Me with Katie Maloney. “We’re still buddies, we still check in on each other.”
“I’m happy that we’re still close,” he added. “I think, relatively speaking, we’ve done a damn good job divorcing each other.”
Maloney and Schwartz admitted that they understand that fans may not understand how they are able to maintain their friendship while going through a divorce.
“We do see each other, but we were family for, you know, many, many, many years,” she continued. “And that’s been a priority to us, I think, throughout this entire process to maintain.”
The Tom Tom co-owner then told his ex that they make “a good little unit” with their two pups.

The former pair also acknowledged that they would have celebrated their six-yearwedding anniversarythis week if they were still together.
“I feel like I would be remiss to not acknowledge our anniversary this year because we are still technically married until later this year,” Maloney shared.
“Best wedding ever.My favorite wedding, objectively, and I’ve been to a lot,” Schwartz added. “It was magical. [I] might go back and watch the episode — not drunk though, then I’ll be a sad sack.”
Schwartz even suggested that he and Maloney find a new way to celebrate their anniversary after their divorce is finalized.
“Moving forward, since we’re so close, we should just go and get drunk and have a delicious dinner on our anniversary,” he said. “We can invite friends and stuff.”
