In January, James had everyone talking about his love life after posting some videos on his Instagram Story. In one of the videos, he is seen holding hands with a mystery woman who has now been identified as Lewber.
At the time, Kennedy revealed that he was "seeing someone." During his interview on "Give Them Lala," he expressed the importance of taking it slow when asked if he would bring her on "Vanderpump Rules."
He said, "Look, it’s too early to say honestly. I do like this girl, I really do. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I can’t ask any girl to do that.”
Acknowledging his past mistakes, he added, "With [Lewber], 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. “What I do know is I’m going to be doing me and I’m going to be f—king enjoying myself. Truly. Because honestly, after Raquel left, now it’s like I don’t have anyone to impress or please except for myself… My heart cannot break anymore… I don’t care what anyone thinks or what everyone wants… No one has control over me anymore.”
In December, James and Raquel announced their split in a joint statement on Instagram. They said, “After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement. We love each other very much, but we aren’t in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love.”
A month later, Raquel opened up on what went wrong in their relationship during an appearance on the “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay” podcast. She admitted, “It was kind of at Thanksgiving where I realized that I didn’t want to be in this relationship anymore. It was getting to the point where my family and him were not meshing well, and the future of Thanksgivings and Christmases and holidays was looking like it was going to be either James or my family.”
