Kennedy wasn’t sure at first if his new girlfriend would appear on “Vanderpump Rules.” During a February 2022 appearance on Lala Kent’s “Give Them Lala” podcast, Kennedy said it was “too early” to say if Lewber would be on the show. “I do like this girl, I really do,” he said at the time. “I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I can’t ask any girl to do that.”
“With [Ally] I’m taking my time. She gets to choose what she wants to do with that whole situation, and then for me, it’s like, I have to decide as well,” he added.
Once it was decided that Lewber would appear on the Bravo reality show, Kennedy told Entertainment Tonight he was just keeping things real on camera.
“Obviously, I just like to keep things very organic with my relationship with Ally, so I just wanted it to be as normal as it could be,” he said. “Because this is kind of an un-normal game.”
