Appearing to embrace her single status, Katie shared a throwback picture today of her and two friends, including ex-castmate, Kristen Doute, dressed in lace lingerie and heels.

In the boudoir-themed snap, Katie looks glamorous and she frolics on a bed with her friends.

Kristen captioned the pic: “Talk about a throwback,” which Katie then reposted and added “from 10 million years ago.”

The racy post comes just one day after Katie and Tom announced their “painful” split in two separate Instagram posts.

Katie, 35, shared the news along with two images of her and Tom, 39.

She told her followers: “After 12 years on an adventure through life together, Tom and I are ending our marriage.”

The reality star added: “This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose.

“We have deep admiration for one another that will always remain and we cherish our friendship.”

In his post, Tom wrote: “Well, this sucks, how am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f**kin’ Instagram caption?

“I’m not ready to use the ‘D’ word because it’s too painful. Yes, my heart aches.”

The confirmation came after an insider told The Sun of their split.

A day before Katie and Tom’s announcements, the source said: “She hasn’t filed for divorce yet but it’s been discussed. They’re just taking time apart right now and seeing what happens.”    

The insider added: “She feels the fault is on him and he had his chances to be better but he didn’t step up to the challenge. 

“Now she is focused on her own happiness, something that wasn’t prioritized in their marriage.”

ON THE ROCKS

The couple has fueled breakup rumors for weeks after the podcast host shared cryptic quotes about divorce and showed off photos that emphasized her without a wedding ring.

Katie tied the knot to the TomTom co-founder in 2016, although the couple never officially filed their documents, and had to have another ceremony in 2019 to legally seal the deal.

Katie and Tom’s troubled marriage has been well documented on the Bravo show.

Before their split was confirmed, the pair dealt with numerous issues including infidelity.

In 2018, Vanderpump Rules viewers watched the fallout after Tom was unfaithful while he was blackout drunk.

He would later describe his actions to Us Weekly as “really douchey”.

BROKEN HOME

Today, The Sun exclusively revealed that Katie is still living in their $1.9M marital home, while Tom has been staying with his BFF Tom Sandoval amid his shocking split.

A source close to the pair told The Sun they will have to give up their home in the divorce process “because it’s too big and too expensive for either of them to live there alone”.
