“Vanderpump Rules” stars Raquel Leviss and James Kennedy, who were engaged, split up in December 2021. Kennedy is currently dating Ally Lewber.
According to E! News, Leviss shared her thoughts about starring alongside the professional DJ for “Vanderpump Rules” season 10 during a July 2022 “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay” podcast episode, hosted by Scheana Shay.
“I guess most nervous — I guess, about just interacting with James again because it’s going to be a different dynamic this time and we haven’t hung out since the breakup, so it’s definitely going to be a different kind of situation than I’m used to,” stated Leviss. “But also I’ve gotten really close to you and Ariana [Madix], Brock [Davies], and [Tom] Sandoval and even [Tom] Schwartz, so it’s gonna be less stressful in that way because I feel like I have genuine friendships, which is going to be fun to film.”
She also hinted that “Vanderpump Rules” fans may see her dating during season 10. The 27-year-old went on to say that she is “just trying to embrace [herself].”
“I feel like I’ve kind of either paint a picture of what I want someone to be and then try to help them become that instead of just being objective and seeing things for what they are and also be objective with myself and expectations that I have so, just a different approach than I’ve had when it comes to filming,” explained Leviss.
While recording the podcast episode, Shay shared that she has enjoyed seeing her co-star evolve since breaking up with Kennedy.
“I’m just so excited to watch you blossom because you’ve grown so much, I mean since I’ve known you and even more so in the last seven months since the breakup. You are just a different person in the best way possible and I’m just so excited for everyone to get to see more of this Raquel because like you are thriving. It’s so fun,” said the mother of one.

She also suggested that some of the show’s cast members have not spent much time together since season 9 finished filming.
“It’s just going to be very interesting just to see where everybody is. We haven’t really all been in one room together in a while. You know, there have been combinations here and there. You know, someone has a birthday or something like that. But it’s definitely going to be a change. I’m kind of – you know, I might have popcorn,” said Madix with a laugh.
