James Kennedy, 34, reveals engagement to pregnant girlfriend Jordan Meyers, 23, after less than a year of dating

The couple split up shortly after the arrest and Lewber declined to press charges.

Since then, Kennedy has focused on his sobriety journey.

'I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life,' he said a year ago. 'I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones.

'Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me.'

Lewber, 30, later described Kennedy's arrest as 'a wake-up call.'

According to the astrologer, they had been arguing that evening about Kennedy's drinking, which had been an ongoing issue in their relationship.

'I don't know who called the cops, but the cops showed up. They assessed the situation, and I was not hurt physically. Emotionally, yes. But yeah, that's kind of how that night played out, unfortunately,' she said.

'I never was physically hurt and I never felt unsafe,' she explained about their relationship dynamics.

'I think it was more just walking on eggshells and feeling anxious about, when is his next blow-up going to be? And I didn't even realize this really until I was out of the house for a while, but just how my nervous system just feels normal again. It was always kind of anxious of making sure that he doesn't get upset. Monitoring someone's behavior is not healthy.'

She said breaking up was hard to do: 'It was just a lot of wake-up calls that needed to happen, but it wasn't easy in the moment.'

Lewber said that she 'immediately just felt bad' for Kennedy after what happened.

'I know that he wishes he didn't do that. I know that he wishes that he was more powerful than the drink. So it just makes me feel sad, because it is too bad. It's sad for everyone involved.

'But I'm proud of him now, and I believe he's still going to AA and working the program, and so I'm excited for him to just heal for himself,' she added.

Kennedy had previously been engaged to Vanderpump Rules’ Raquel Leviss, whom he started dating in 2016, but both of them decided to end their engagement in December 2021.

Since 2016, Kennedy had been a regular fixture on the Bravo show up until the series underwent a major cast shake-up, with brand new stars replacing the original cast.
