Vanderpump Rules Star James Kennedy Reveals Pregnant Girlfriend Jordan Meyers, 23
DJ and Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy, 34, has publicly identified his pregnant girlfriend as Jordan Meyers, a 23-year-old North Carolina native who is four months along. The couple, who have been dating for approximately seven to eight months, initially kept their relationship private while building their connection after meeting through Instagram. The announcement marks Kennedy's first child and comes roughly a year after a turbulent period that included a domestic violence arrest and breakup with his previous girlfriend.
James Kennedy confirmed to People magazine that his girlfriend, Jordan Meyers, 23, is expecting his first child together. The couple has been dating for roughly seven to eight months, meaning Meyers became pregnant approximately four months into the relationship. Meyers, who is not part of the Bravo reality TV world, told People she first connected with Kennedy on Instagram before flying to California to attend one of his DJ shows, describing an immediate spark. Kennedy said the couple deliberately kept their relationship out of the public eye while focusing on building their bond, sharing the pregnancy news privately with close friends and family before going public. Kennedy's previous relationship with Ally Lewber ended in January 2025 following his December 2024 misdemeanor domestic violence arrest in Burbank, though prosecutors ultimately declined to file charges. Before Lewber, Kennedy was engaged to former co-star Raquel Leviss, whose split from him in 2021 preceded her involvement in the high-profile 'Scandoval' affair. Vulture noted this will be the eighth child born into the Vanderpump Rules universe.
How coverage differed
The New York Post provided the most extensive background detail, including quotes from Ally Lewber's podcast appearance and the domestic violence arrest context, framing the story with more tabloid depth. TMZ emphasized its own prior scoop on the pregnancy, while Vulture took a lighter, more entertainment-focused tone with minimal emphasis on Kennedy's legal history.

Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
