VANDERPUMP Rules' Oliver Saunders filed for divorce from his ex-wife after his hook-up with Raquel Leviss, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.
The jaw-dropping season 10 trailer for Vanderpump Rules was released on Monday and it shows cast member Raquel making out with Oliver, son of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais.
Oliver tells his mom in the trailer, "We had a good night," referencing what fans believe was his date with Raquel, 28.
Garcelle, who is known for being friends with the show's lead Lisa Vanderpump, seems confused and replies: "Oh, should I be here?"
After the on-camera rendezvous that was filmed this past summer, Oliver filed for divorce from his now-ex, Samantha Saunders, on September 14, 2022, in Las Vegas, where both parties reside.
He indicated in the complaint for divorce, exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, that there was "no possibility of reconciliation."

He wrote: "During the course of said marriage, the tastes, mental disposition, views, likes, and dislikes of Plaintiff and Defendant have become so widely divergent that the parties have become incompatible in marriage to such an extent that it is impossible for them to live together as husband and wife and that the incompatibility between them is so great there is no possibility of reconciliation."
FIGHTING OVER CUSTODY
Oliver, 31, and Samantha, 32, got married on May 23, 2020.
Together they welcomed son Oliver Saunders, Jr., who celebrated his second birthday in February of last year. She has three other children from previous relationships.
Oliver, who works at LVP's Vegas restaurant, is requesting that they share joint legal custody. However, he is fighting for primary physical custody.

He stated in the filing: "Plaintiff is a fit and proper person to be awarded Primary Physical Custody of the minor child subject to a reasonable visitation for Defendant."
Oliver opted for the court to decide on how much should be paid for child support and he elected to "not give spousal support" to Samantha.
He also requested, according to the court doc, that they "equally divide cost for any unreimbursed medical, dental, optical, or other health-related expense incurred" for their shared baby boy.
At the time of filing, he was unaware of the community assets and debts, and his sole and separate property, but asked the court to be able to amend the request at the time of trial.
The divorce is still active but is currently sealed. Separately, Samantha has a child support case against Oliver that has been ongoing since she filed in July 2020.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Samantha and Oliver's rep for comment.
AIRING DIRTY LAUNDRY
Vanderpump Rules fans might recall that Samantha spoke out about Oliver and Raquel's date seen in the trailer in the past.
The mother-of-four slammed her husband at the time on social media on September 2, 2022, by dropping bombshells about Oliver.
She claimed he "disrespected" her by committing "adultery with coworkers and guests of the restaurant."
Additionally, she said that she found out that he "made out with Raquel" and "plans to continue to go on a date with Raquel while filming."
She alleged that Oliver was "not paid" for his appearance as a "guest" on the show.
She added: "I worked extra paid for all his studio time with music, podcasts, video shoots etc. once he got his job I decided to pursue real estate trusting he was going to support me like I did to him. Instead this man has left me in thousands of dollars of debt and in a financial struggle."
Oliver then put out a since-deleted statement: “I apologize for my Sons Mother Putting My Business Out There. We Are Getting Divorced."
RAQUEL'S 'NOT TO BLAME'
Raquel dished about her date during BravoCon 2022.
She told Page Six that she "did not know" Oliver had a wife at the time and said that he "misled me."
The reality star said in the interview: “I was in Vegas this year just trying to have a good time being single, and we didn’t hook up either, by the way." She called his behavior "unacceptable."
Samantha previously stated that she doesn't "blame Raquel."
She shared on Instagram: "[Raquel] did nothing wrong and has been respectful and supportive."
Raquel, for her part, announced she and ex James Kennedy had called off their engagement during the season 9 reunion.
