Ally Lewber, former 'Vanderpump Rules' star, discusses her return to reality TV with Netflix's 'Perfect Match', her split from James Kennedy, and her move to Charleston, South Carolina.
Astrology Enthusiast
Ally Lewber, known for her passion for astrology, first entered the reality TV scene as James Kennedy's girlfriend on 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 10 in 2023. Her calm demeanor contrasted with the show's usual drama, earning her a unique spot among the cast.
Life Changes Post-Kennedy
After a public breakup with Kennedy following his 2024 domestic violence arrest, Lewber reflects on the experience as a learning moment. Now 30, she has relocated to Charleston and filmed 'Perfect Match' Season 4.
"It gives me chills to be back in Los Angeles talking about it from a different perspective," Lewber said, indicating her growth since the relationship ended.
New Beginnings on 'Perfect Match'
The Netflix series 'Perfect Match' offers Lewber a fresh start, allowing her to redefine herself beyond her past relationship. "I do definitely think that people will see a different side of me on the show," she noted, eager to show audiences her single life.
Lewber embraced the opportunity to date casually, describing the experience as fun and liberating. "I genuinely did not think I’d be able to form a crush," she said, highlighting her surprise at enjoying the dating process on the show.
Moving to Charleston
Having moved to Charleston in early 2026, Lewber aims to start anew. Her decision came after frequent visits to the city and a sense of needing change. Despite speculation, her move was not to join Bravo's 'Southern Hospitality'.
"I genuinely wanted to move there," she clarified, emphasizing personal reasons and family ties to the area.
Lewber remains grateful for her time on reality TV, seeing it as a platform to pursue her passion for astrology and connect with fans. "Reality TV is just a platform, and it’s awesome for that," she said.
