Where this relationship fits in Kennedy’s recent history
James has been a familiar face on Bravo since joining Vanderpump Rules. His dating life and offscreen controversies have drawn attention over the years.
Recent prior relationship
Most recently he was linked to Ally Lewber. Their romance was featured on Vanderpump Rules from early 2022 until 2025.
Engagement and breakups
- He was engaged to co-star Raquel Leviss for several years before their split in late 2021.
- Public statements at the time framed the split as an amicable end to an engagement that no longer fit their futures.
Other connections on the show
Kennedy has also been connected in the past to castmates like Kristen Doute and Lala Kent.
Legal matters and sobriety journey in recent years
Kennedy’s personal struggles have been part of his public narrative. In late 2024 he was arrested in an incident that drew headlines.
The Burbank City Attorney’s Office later declined to file charges in that matter. Reports say this decision played a role in the end of his relationship with Lewber earlier this year.
After the arrest, Kennedy posted about concentrating on recovery. He wrote that he was focusing on sobriety, personal growth and spending time with family and friends.
He stated a commitment to change and said he planned to work on himself with the help of his support network.
Claims from former partners and legal actions
Following the breakup with Leviss, she filed legal papers that included allegations about his behavior. In those filings she described struggles they believed were tied to substance use and emotional volatility.
Those claims remain part of public record and contributed to broader media scrutiny of Kennedy in recent years.
