Vanderpump Rules Alum Ally Lewber Says She Was ‘Shocked’ to Hear Ex James Kennedy Is Reportedly Expecting a Baby

Ally Lewber is responding to reports that her ex-boyfriend James Kennedy is expecting a baby.

The Vanderpump Rules alum, 30, appeared on her former costar Scheana Shay’s podcast, Sheananigans with Scheana Shay, and was asked about her first reaction to hearing rumors that Kennedy is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend.

Lewber and Kennedy dated from January 2022 to January 2025. They split following the news that Kennedy was arrested on the evening of Dec. 10, 2024, on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.

“My first thought was just shocked, because I didn’t know…I mean, I saw that picture, but I didn’t know he had a girlfriend,” said Lewber. “And then also, I was like, ‘Whoa.’ But I really was also shocked that I actually was like, ‘Okay.’ And then didn’t really care.”

“I think he always has wanted to be a dad, and that was always our thing, too, is he always wanted kids like immediately, and I was like, I don’t know what I want,” she continued.

“And so he’s always wanted to be a dad, and he always has always moved quickly. And I wish them the best.”

Last week, TMZ reported that Kennedy is expecting his first baby with his girlfriend. PEOPLE has not yet confirmed the news.

Lewber and Kennedy began dating in 2022, six weeks after the DJ broke off his engagement to his Vanderpump Rules castmate Raquel Leviss.

The two first met while attending a concert for Tom Sandoval’s band, The Most Extras. Though it was their first time meeting, Lewber was already familiar with Kennedy and Bravo’s hit reality TV series.

Lewber, who is an astrologer, is currently starring on season 4 of Netflix’s Perfect Match.
