Vanderpump Rules Star DJ James Kennedy Announces Expecting First Child with Girlfriend Jordan Meyers

DJ James Kennedy, the former reality‑TV personality who appeared on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, confirmed that he and his girlfriend Jordan Meyers are expecting their first child together. The announcement, made in a People interview on November 6 2026, came after the couple had kept their relationship private for the past seven months.

In the interview, Kennedy said, “We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together.” He added that the couple had previously shared the news only with close friends and family. Meyers, who is not a member of the Vanderpump Rules cast, is currently four months pregnant.

Kennedy’s public profile is largely tied to his time on Vanderpump Rules, where he was known as DJ James Kennedy. He was a regular cast member from the show’s early seasons and later appeared in spin‑offs such as Vanderpump Rules After Show. His career outside the show includes work as a DJ and musician, but the reality‑TV role remains the most visible aspect of his public life.

The announcement follows a series of personal developments for Kennedy. In December 2024, he was arrested in Burbank on a misdemeanor domestic‑violence charge. According to Burbank police, the arrest occurred on December 10, 2024, and Kennedy was booked and released after posting a $20,000 bail. The victim was not named in the initial police report.

Kennedy’s relationship with Ally Lewber, who also appeared on Vanderpump Rules, ended in January 2025, shortly after the arrest. Lewber had been a regular on the show, and the couple’s breakup was reported by entertainment outlets following the incident.

Prior to his engagement to Lewber, Kennedy was engaged to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, a former cast member of Vanderpump Rules. The engagement ended in 2021, after which Leviss publicly dated fellow cast member Tom Sandoval.

The news of Kennedy’s pregnancy marks his first child. It also becomes the eighth child born to a member of the Vanderpump Rules universe, a fact noted by the show’s producers and reported by entertainment journalists.

While the couple has kept the details of their relationship out of the public eye, the People interview indicates that they are now comfortable sharing the milestone with a broader audience. The announcement has prompted speculation about future family life, though no further details have been released.

Industry observers note that Kennedy’s personal developments may influence his public image, especially in light of the domestic‑violence arrest. However, the People interview frames the pregnancy as a positive personal event.

No official statement has been released by Bravo or the production company regarding the announcement. Kennedy’s social‑media accounts remain inactive, and no posts have been made about the pregnancy.

The couple’s decision to keep their relationship private until now reflects a broader trend among reality‑TV personalities who prefer to separate personal life from public persona. Their choice to announce the pregnancy publicly may signal a shift toward greater openness about family matters.

As of now, no further information has been provided about the expected birth date, the baby’s gender, or plans for a baby shower. Fans of Vanderpump Rules have expressed interest in the development, but the couple has not disclosed additional details.

The announcement adds a new chapter to Kennedy’s personal narrative and expands the Vanderpump Rules family tree. Whether the couple will engage with the show’s fan community in the coming months remains to be seen.

The story is being monitored by entertainment reporters, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
