In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Vanderpump Rules alum posted a heartfelt tribute to his inspiring mom, Terri Green. 

“Happy International Women’s Day to my amazing Mother!” he captioned a March 8 Instagram, which showed him and Terri sitting side by side. “Strong & brave, she was the first woman in St. Louis county awarded ‘Firefighter of the Year’! Thank you for inspiring us all. I love you!”

Fans got a closer look at the mother-son bond in Vanderpump Rules Season 4, Episode 9, which documented Terri’s trip to Los Angeles. While having dinner with Tom and his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, Terri shared an adorable anecdote about Tom’s 3^rd grade talent show. She said the contest featured 25 acts, 24 of which were all girls. But despite being the only boy in the show, Tom managed to take the W with a dancing and lip-syncing number.

“He freakin’ stole the show and took first place,” Terri said.

Tom shed more light on his upbringing in a confessional, saying he got his best qualities from his mom, who was a firefighter for 28 years.

“I grew up in St. Louis. My parents divorced at [an] early age,” he revealed. “She definitely had to have the physicality to be able to separate me and my brother when we would fight. My mom has always been a real badass. My toughness and a little bit of my cockiness and my perserverence sort of come from my mom.”

Shortly after sharing Terri’s tribute post, Tom gave a shoutout to all the other "incredible women out there," including his godmother, Kathy Costello, and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson.

“To Victoria, who rescues animals, takes care of her family and others, and loves to volunteer,” he captioned a Story. “She inspires me to be a better man. I love you Baby!”

Tom confirmed his relationship with Victoria in February 2024, nearly a year after he split from Ariana. The former SUR bartender opened up about the romance in a recent interview with The Daily Dish, revealing why he was so “excited” for their future. 

“Obviously, Victoria and I have been together for over a year now,” he said. “Loving this time together, and all the things that we’ve done and all the things that we have coming up. I’m excited. I’m excited to do other things and what’s to come. I would love to do more of these types of shows [like Season 3 of The Traitors]. I have my music. I’m starting my podcast back up. I know Victoria is open to maybe doing something in the reality realm.”
