Tom Schwartz Claps Back at 'Unrecognizable' Paparazzi Headline
After a paparazzi headline called him 'unrecognizable,' Tom Schwartz and his girlfriend Kiana Carroll had the perfect, lighthearted response on social media.

On Thursday (July 23), Tom Schwartz’s Instagram story featured a screenshot of a headline and a very specific message. The 43-year-old star of Bravo’s The Valley shared a post from Just Jared that described him as "unrecognizable as he surfaces looking downcast.". Over the screenshot, Schwartz wrote, "You better sleep with one eye open," adding a crying face emoji.
The headline was about paparazzi photos taken earlier in the week, which showed Schwartz walking his dogs, Gordo and Butters, whom he shares with ex-wife Katie Maloney. The photos sparked the “unrecognizable” commentary.
Schwartz wasn’t the only one to weigh in. He then reposted a story from his girlfriend, Kiana Carroll, who shared a boomerang of Schwartz on vacation with the caption, "it was a bad angle guys"
A Serious Turn
The playful online moment comes amid a serious step forward in their relationship. On this week’s episode of The Valley, Schwartz gave Carroll a key to his house. Later, on The Valley: After Show, he shared that he could see a future of marriage and children with her, though he noted that if they got married, it would be his last time, as he wouldn’t want to get married or divorced a third time. It is unconfirmed if he and Kiana are engaged or planning a wedding.
