Ally Lewber has confirmed her split from James Kennedy after two years of dating.
“Thank you all for your support and kindness. I am happy that prosecutors decided not to file against James, as I never desired criminal charges,” Lewber, 28, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 22. “We had an argument outside of his home related to him drinking again, however, I was not physically hurt.”
She continued, “We are not longer together, but I’ll always support James and wish him the best with his sobriety and healing. Thank you for your understanding.”
The split comes after Kennedy’s arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence. Us Weekly confirmed in December 2024 that police were dispatched to Kennedy’s home on December 10 after receiving a phone call about an argument between a man and a woman. The authorities saw Kennedy, 32, allegedly grabbing the woman however officers at the scene did not see any visible injuries.
Kennedy’s attorneys released a statement after he was released on a $20,000 bail.
“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his legal team said in a statement to Us. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”
The DJ broke his silence one week later to say he was prioritizing his mental health amid his legal issues, writing via Instagram, “I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life. I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones.”
Kennedy, who has a history with substance abuse, continued: “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”
Meanwhile, Lewber made a rare comment about the situation on December 14, 2024. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” Lewber wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”
Lewber previously denied claims that Kennedy was physically abusive to her. After fellow Bravo stars Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge alleged that they witnessed an incident between the now-former couple, Lewber shut it down on Scheana Shay‘s “Scheananigans” podcast.
“That’s crazy to me that that’s the most asked question [for me]. That makes me really sad, because no, I’m good. That never happened. There was no physical altercation,” she told Shay, 39, at the time. “Yes, we were in the car together. I thought we were having fun. We were having fun. But then James and I did get into an argument, but there was no physical assault. I was not bleeding, and they didn’t have to get out of the car and separate us. So that didn’t happen. That’s all I’ll say on that.”
Us confirmed in January that would not be charged after his December 2024 arrest.
Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy and his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, attended Kathy Hilton’s party the night he was reportedly arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence. An eyewitness exclusively told Us Weekly that Kennedy, 32, “looked like he was in great spirits” at DIRECTV’s Christmas at the event at Kathy’s Los Angeles home on Tuesday, December 10. […]
“I was just informed by the Burbank City Attorney’s Office that no charges will be filed against James Kennedy,” Kennedy’s attorney Scott Leemon told Us in a statement at the time. “I want to thank them for conducting a thorough and professional review of the matter, involving my client.”
Lewber and Kennedy’s romance, however, wasn’t unscathed. A source exclusively told Us on January 22 that Kennedy “has been telling friends that they are just taking a break,” noting that “they are still talking.”
The insider added that “everyone around them thinks they are done and can’t come back from this.”
Kennedy and Lewber began dating in 2022 after his high-profile split from Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
Lewber joined Kennedy as a cast member on VPR and was a recurring presence on seasons 10 and 11 before Bravo announced a cast shakeup ahead of season 12.
