Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Ally Lewber is reacting to the news that her ex-boyfriend, DJ James Kennedy, is having a baby. Speaking with Bravo alum Scheana Shay on her podcast, “Sheananigans,” Lewber, 30, admitted that she was “shocked” to hear the news, especially because the villainous reality star has kept his personal life private over the last year.
“My first thought was just shocked, because I didn’t know…I mean, I saw that picture, but I didn’t know he had a girlfriend,” Lewber, who appeared in season 10 of “VPR” with Kennedy, said. “And then also, I was like, ‘Whoa.’ But I really was also shocked that I actually was like, ‘Okay.’ And then didn’t really care.”
According to Lewber, Kennedy, 34, has “always wanted to be dad.” She explained to Shay that his wanting to become a parent was part of the reason they split. “… he always wanted kids like immediately, and I was like, I don’t know what I want,” she said.
Lewber went on to say that Kennedy has a tendency to move “quickly” with his partners before wishing him and his unnamed girlfriend “the best.”
James Kennedy Is Having A Baby With A Mystery Woman
Lewber’s comments about Kennedy come days after reports surfaced, revealing that the “VPR” star was welcoming his first child with his girlfriend.
According to a previous report from The Blast, a source said Kennedy has been in a relationship with the soon-to-be mother of his child for about 7 months.
The insider also claimed that Kennedy’s new partner is not a public figure and prefers to stay out of the limelight.
Kennedy and his new girlfriend reportedly shared the news with those in their inner circle just a few weeks ago with a themed party.
Social media users were quick to voice concerns about Kennedy becoming a parent, per The Blast.
One user on Reddit wrote, “Poor kid,” after learning of the news, and another posted, “Thoughts and prayers for this angel baby who did not choose its father.”
Other users seemed to agree, with one writing, “Jesus, take the wheel,” and another chiming in with, “Nope. Don’t like that.”
And the negative comments didn’t end there. Many users shared GIFS and memes of confused Bravo stars to express their worry.
One poster selected an image of “Real Housewives of New York” star Dorinda Medley saying, “Oh no,” while another used an image of “SNL” star Kenan Thompson saying, “Oh, that’s not good.”
Kennedy Was Arrested After Getting Into An Alleged Domestic Dispute With Lewber In December 2024
The worry for Kennedy’s future child seems to stem from the reality star’s past actions, which have sparked much controversy.
In December 2024, the pair made headlines after Kennedy was arrested by Burbank police in California following an alleged domestic dispute.
According to Page Six, a witness told police that they saw Kennedy being aggressive with Lewber after a party, allegedly pushing her and throwing her to the ground.
Kennedy was taken into custody and later released after posting $20,000 bond.
Kennedy Faced Backlash After Posing With Tristan And Andrew Tate
Another report from The Blast details the backlash Kennedy faced in March 2025 after he shared an image of himself posing with controversial streamers Andrew and Tristan Tate.
He apologized shortly after with an Instagram post, admitting that he deeply regretted the moment and claiming he was “unfamiliar” with their divisive antics.
He continued, “I have since educated myself and condemn their beliefs. I am sorry to all that I offended.”
Kennedy’s post appeared to have enraged the brothers, however, as Tristan slammed the Bravo alum with a post of his own, seemingly accusing him of lying.
“[He] begged and kissed my -ss for 30 minutes straight and called me a hero,” Tristan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “He knew EXACTLY who I was and what content I made.”
Tristan didn’t stop there, though. He went further, blasting Kennedy for being unable to handle the heat. “He’s just a p-ssy who can’t handle DMs from woke r—ds. F-ck this guy,” he finished.
