James Kennedy, Jordan Meyers Get Engaged as Couple Awaits 1st Child

Q: What does James Kennedy's ex reveal about his shocking engagement and pregnancy news?

James Kennedy’s ex, Ally Lewber, said she was “shocked” by his engagement and pregnancy news, mainly because she did not even know he was in a serious relationship. Speaking after the announcement, Lewber said she had only briefly seen him with a “young blond” at Coachella and did not realize he had a girlfriend, let alone that he was engaged and expecting a baby. Lewber said the news did not trigger a strong emotional reaction for her, adding that she “didn’t really care,” but she acknowledged the speed of the development surprised her. She noted that Kennedy “has always wanted to be a dad,” and said that becoming a father had been something he talked about during their relationship, even though she was not ready for that step herself. She also made clear that she and Kennedy have not spoken since their breakup, which followed a difficult split in late 2024. Lewber has previously described that relationship as emotionally draining, saying she often felt anxious and was “walking on eggshells.” Charges were not filed after Kennedy’s 2024 domestic violence arrest, and Lewber later said she was not physically hurt. Despite the shock, Lewber said she wishes Kennedy well and hopes he is “happy and healthy.” Reports also indicate that even some mutual friends were surprised, suggesting Kennedy had kept his relationship with Jordan Meyers largely private before the engagement and pregnancy announcements.

James Kennedy, 34, announced Tuesday that he and Jordan Meyers are engaged, posting proposal photos on Instagram and calling himself “the luckiest guy in the world.”
The engagement follows the couple’s June 11 disclosure that they are expecting their first child; Meyers said she is four months pregnant and that they have been dating for eight months.
The pair had kept the relationship private until the pregnancy announcement, then made their red-carpet debut the same day at the opening of The Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas.
For Kennedy, the engagement marks a new public chapter after his December 2024 split from Ally Lewber following a domestic-violence arrest that did not result in charges.
