Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy is speaking out for the first time about the pregnancy rumors that have surrounded him for the past month.
In a statement shared exclusively with PEOPLE, Kennedy, 34, reveals that he is dating North Carolina native Jordan Meyers, 23, and that the pair is expecting their first baby together.
“We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together,” Kennedy says. “We have previously kept our relationship out of the public eye, and this is the first time we’re sharing it publicly. We wanted to keep things personal while we were building our relationship together, and we’ve shared this news privately with close friends and family for some time now.”

Meyers, who is currently four months pregnant, says, “The second I met James, we instantly felt such a strong spark between us.”
As for how they became acquainted, she shares, “We initially connected on Instagram and then met in person at one of his shows. I’m from North Carolina, so I went to visit James for what was supposed to be ‘three days,’ which has now turned into eight months together.”
“Watching our love grow and preparing to become parents together has been the most incredible experience,” adds Meyers.
Regarding the timing of the decision to go public with their relationship, Kennedy says, “As we prepare for this next chapter, it felt like the right moment to share it more widely. This is an incredibly special and meaningful time for us, and we feel deeply grateful to be stepping into this new chapter surrounded by love and support from our family and friends.”

The DJ goes on to say, “It’s been a grounding and exciting part of our lives, and we’re looking forward to everything ahead. As we get ready to welcome our baby, we’re focused on embracing all of the joy, growth, and change that comes with becoming parents.”
“I’m so excited for all the beautiful memories still to come — we are already so in love with our little one!” Meyers adds.
Before dating Meyers, Kennedy dated Ally Lewber, 30, from January 2022 to January 2025. Lewber joined Vanderpump Rules in 2023 as Kennedy’s girlfriend. They split shortly after Kennedy was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence on Dec. 10, at the couple’s Burbank, Calif., home. Charges were never filed, and Lewber later said she was not “hurt physically” that night, but “emotionally.”

“Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me,” he added.
Kennedy previously dated two other Vanderpump Rules castmates: Raquel Leviss, 31, and Kristin Doute, 43. He and Leviss got engaged in May 2021 before ending their five-year-long relationship in December of that year. Kennedy and Doute dated between 2014 and 2015 following her split from Vanderpump Rules’ costar Tom Sandoval.
Over the past 18 months, Kennedy says he has been focused on charitable initiatives — such as the Midnight Mission, Vanderpump Dogs, Pups Without Borders and homeless shelters and recovery centers in L.A. — along with his DJ career and staying sober. He has recently appeared at Coachella’s Neon Carnival, Diplo’s HonkyTonk at Stagecoach, EDC and holds residencies at LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
