“Vanderpump Rules” alum Ally Lewber is updating fans following her breakup with her ex-boyfriend and former castmate, James Kennedy.
While speaking to E! News in April 2025, Lewber said she is in a better place since announcing her split from Kennedy in January 2025. The publication reported that Kennedy was arrested “for domestic violence” following a December 2024 incident that involved Lewber. Kennedy did not face charges, per E! News.
“It’s good to be on the other side of it. I am happy, I love my new apartment, my cats are happy, I’m seeing my friends a lot, which is great. I just feel really blessed,” said Lewber during the interview.
Lewber also said that while she and Kennedy “don’t have any communication right now,” she thinks they are “amicable.”
“There’s not been any ill will or anything. At least from my perspective, I can’t speak for him obviously. I will always wish him the best,” said Lewber to the publication. “Being able to do astrology, I’m just so grateful for that because I’m just able to pour so much of my love and energy into that right.”
Lewber also said she is “really proud” of Kennedy being sober and “in AA and working on himself.” According to Lewber, her ex-boyfriend, who she began dating in January 2022, “is a great person who is a bit wounded.”
Lewber also said she does not regret ending her relationship with Kennedy, as it was “not healthy.” In addition, she told E! News she was not sure if she is ready to date.
“I’m so scared. I don’t think I’m ready, I feel like I’m about to become a true Capricorn where I just pour all of my energy into work. So, we’ll see,” said Lewber while laughing. “I’m not like opposed to it, like the wheels are starting to turn a little bit. But I still have some healing to do.”
