Ally Lewber (also credited as Alley Lewber) is an American television personality and model who gained public recognition as a cast member on the Bravo reality television series Vanderpump Rules. She appeared on the show during its later seasons and became known to audiences in part through her relationship with fellow cast member James Kennedy. Following the conclusion of her time on Vanderpump Rules, Lewber has remained in the public eye through appearances on other Bravo programming and developments in her personal and professional life. In 2025, she explored opportunities in Charleston, South Carolina, including involvement with the Bravo series Southern Hospitality, signaling a new chapter in her television career.
Career
Vanderpump Rules
Lewber joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules, the long-running Bravo reality series centered on Lisa Vanderpump and the staff at her West Hollywood restaurants, including SUR Restaurant & Lounge, Pump Restaurant, and Tom Tom.[1] The series, which premiered on January 7, 2013, as the first spin-off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, had aired twelve seasons over the course of its run.[2] Lewber became part of the show's ensemble during its later seasons, joining a cast that had undergone significant changes over the years, including the departure of several original and recurring cast members due to various controversies and personal decisions.[3][4]
During her time on the series, Lewber's storylines included her romantic relationship with James Kennedy, a DJ and prominent cast member on the show. Their relationship became a significant narrative thread on Vanderpump Rules, with the couple's dynamic, challenges, and milestones playing out on camera for viewers over the course of multiple seasons.
Post-Vanderpump Rules Career
Following the end of her tenure on Vanderpump Rules, Lewber has continued to pursue opportunities in television and entertainment. In 2025, reports emerged that she had been spending time in Charleston, South Carolina, and had become involved with the Bravo series Southern Hospitality. In September 2025, Lewber confirmed that she had "filmed a little" on the show, though she stopped short of confirming a full-time cast role.[5] The news generated speculation among fans and media outlets about whether Lewber would officially join the Southern Hospitality cast.[6]
In October 2025, Lewber addressed the ongoing rumors about her move to Charleston and provided an update on her career trajectory. Speaking publicly, she explained that she felt "pushed out of L.A." and expressed a desire for change, stating, "I need a change."[7] The move to Charleston appeared to represent both a personal and professional shift for Lewber, as she explored new opportunities outside of the Los Angeles entertainment scene where she had established herself during her time on Vanderpump Rules.
Lewber also maintained her connections within the Bravo universe beyond her potential involvement with Southern Hospitality. In September 2025, she was photographed reuniting with Southern Charm alum Olivia Flowers in New York City, with the two described as "celebrating" during their outing together.[8] The friendship between the two reality television personalities appeared to be connected to Lewber's growing ties to the Charleston social scene featured on Bravo's programming.
Personal Life
Relationship with James Kennedy
Lewber's most publicly documented relationship was with James Kennedy, a British-American DJ and fellow cast member on Vanderpump Rules. The couple's relationship was a prominent storyline on the show, and their partnership attracted significant media attention. However, the relationship came to an end in January 2025, following Kennedy's arrest in December 2024.[9]
In April 2025, Lewber spoke publicly about the end of the relationship for the first time in detail. She described Kennedy's arrest as a "wake-up call" that shattered what she had believed to be a "fairy tale" romance. She also detailed the final fight between the couple, providing her account of the events that led to the definitive end of their relationship.[9] The candid discussion generated significant coverage in entertainment media, as fans of Vanderpump Rules had followed the couple's relationship closely over the course of their time on the show together.
Post-Breakup Life
Following her split from Kennedy, Lewber moved forward with her personal life. By July 2025, multiple media outlets reported that she had begun dating someone new. A source close to Lewber told People magazine that she was "happy" in the new relationship.[10] TMZ also confirmed the reports, noting that Lewber was "officially back in the dating game" and had "a new man in her life" several months after the breakup from Kennedy.[11]
Lewber's decision to relocate — or at least spend significant time — in Charleston, South Carolina, also appeared to reflect a broader desire for personal reinvention following the end of her relationship and her time on Vanderpump Rules. In her October 2025 public comments, she described feeling "pushed out of L.A." and expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of a fresh start in a new city.[7]
Recognition
Lewber's public profile has been shaped primarily by her appearances on Vanderpump Rules, one of Bravo's longest-running and most-watched reality television series. The show, which debuted in 2013, generated three spin-offs over the course of its run — Vanderpump Rules After Show, Vanderpump Rules: Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky, and The Valley — and became a cultural touchstone within the reality television genre.[12]
Following her departure from Vanderpump Rules, Lewber continued to attract media coverage from major entertainment outlets including People, Page Six, TMZ, Yahoo Entertainment, and Just Jared, indicating a sustained level of public interest in her personal and professional endeavors.[13] Her potential involvement with Southern Hospitality in 2025 further demonstrated her continued relevance within the Bravo reality television ecosystem, as she explored new avenues for on-screen work beyond the show that first brought her to public attention.
