A rep for Kennedy did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment on Thursday evening. <\/p>\n

James was most recently linked to Ally Lewber, 30, with their romance being featured on \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d from January 2022 to 2025. <\/p>\n

She divulged in a January 2025 Instagram post that they parted ways<\/a> after Kennedy\u2019s attorney revealed the Burbank City Attorney\u2019s Office\u00a0declined to file charges<\/a>\u00a0against him over\u00a0a domestic violence arrest<\/a>\u00a0in December 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for all your support and kindness,\u201d the astrologer wrote at the time, noting that she was \u201chappy that prosecutors decided not to file against James as I never desired criminal charges.\u201d <\/p>\n

She added, \u201cWe had an argument outside of his home related to him drinking again, however, I was not physically hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to that, he was briefly engaged to \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d co-star Raquel Leviss<\/a>, 31 \u2014 whom he had been dating since 2016 \u2014 but the pair called it off in December 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement,\u201d they wrote in a joint statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe love each other very much, but we aren\u2019t in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love.\u201d <\/p>\n

In a lawsuit against Bravo, Leviss later described Kennedy <\/a>as \u201ca DJ prone to violent outbursts and grappling with long-standing substance abuse issues and emotional dysregulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He most recently dated Ally Lewber, whom he\u2019s pictured with above in a prior social media post. allylewber\/Instagram<\/p>\n

\u201cI am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth and being present for my loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded, \u201cNavigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.\u201d<\/p>\n
