James Kennedy and Ally Lewber’s whirlwind romance may have ended earlier this year, but both former “Vanderpump Rules” stars are stepping into their next chapters—just in very different ways. While Kennedy was recently spotted in Hawaii with a new mystery woman, Lewber has officially launched her own astrology-based podcast and is fully embracing life post-reality TV.
The couple began dating in early 2022 following Kennedy’s split from longtime fiancée Raquel Leviss. During their time together, Lewber often acted as Kennedy’s grounding force as he navigated sobriety and personal growth. But the pair parted ways in early 2025 after an emotional fallout related to Kennedy’s relapse. Though he was arrested during a domestic dispute, Kennedy was not charged—and has since returned to his recovery journey with public support for his sobriety.
James Kennedy Vacations in Hawaii With Rumored New Flame
Kennedy seems to be soaking up the sun—and a fresh start. According to Bravo and Cocktails, the 33-year-old was recently photographed lounging with a brunette woman at a luxury beachfront resort in Hawaii. An anonymous tipster claimed, “My sister is in Hawaii and James Kennedy is staying at the same hotel with his new [girlfriend],” sharing a photo of the duo relaxing on a daybed by the beach.
While Kennedy hasn’t posted his new companion on social media, he did share a shirtless beachside photo showing off his toned physique. The image was accompanied by positive captions that suggested a focus on self-care and wellness.
Kennedy has been candid about his past struggles with addiction and his ongoing commitment to sobriety. Earlier this year, he released a statement following his arrest: “I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones… I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”
Ally Lewber Says Goodbye to Reality TV, Hello to ‘StarStruck’
As Kennedy quietly moves forward in his personal life, Ally Lewber is thriving publicly. The 29-year-old former Bravo star just launched her new video podcast StarStruck, produced by OpenMind Studios and PAVE Studios—the same team behind Khloé Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonder Land.
“I couldn’t be more excited to launch my new video series,” Lewber shared in a press release. “StarStruck isn’t just about reading birth charts; it’s about making astrology relatable and entertaining… I want people to learn how the stars connect to their own lives in unexpected ways.”
In a video message, Lewber addressed her recent breakup and the emotional shift that followed. “I have a great support system in Los Angeles,” she said. “I’m grateful for my friends and for my mom.”
Lewber also offered more insight into the split, explaining that the couple’s breakup stemmed from Kennedy “drinking again.” In a January statement, she said, “We are no longer together, but I’ll always support James and wish him the best with his sobriety and healing.”
Now, Lewber says she’s focused on her future: “I can focus on astrology and my passion,” she declared to US Weekly. “No more DJs and reality TV.”
