Schwartz! Peter! Everything Raquel Has Said About Dating After James Split

Playing the field. Following her split from ex-fiancé James Kennedy, Raquel Leviss has addressed her approach to dating — and her new romantic connections.

Leviss and Kennedy, who started dating in 2016, announced their split after filming wrapped on season 9 of Vanderpump Rules.

“After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement,” the former couple wrote in a joint statement in November 2021. “We love each other very much, but we aren’t in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love.”

Viewers watched Leviss and Kennedy break the news to their costars while filming the reunion special. “I didn’t want to give up on him because he really has shown me how dedicated he is to me and the things that he is willing to do to better himself,” the model said during the January 2022 episode. “But I feel like it is something deep within. I have been having nightmares about our wedding day, and I think that’s a telltale sign that something is wrong.”

Leviss later addressed her conflicting feelings about Kennedy publicly moving on shortly after their split.

“I am judging you if you have a girlfriend after your engagement has been broken off. Like, literally how many months? Like one month? Four weeks after the engagement was broken off, James has a new girlfriend,” the beauty pageant contestant told Katie Maloney on her “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast in April 2022, referring to Ally Lewber. “That’s not news to anybody but I am judging you if you have a girlfriend after your engagement has ended in a one-month period. It is quick. It’s fine though.”

That same month, rumors began to swirl that Leviss and Maloney’s estranged husband, Tom Schwartz, shared a kiss while at Coachella. The TomTom co-owner, for his part, shut down the speculation when he replied to a social media user who claimed to have proof.

“Guys hate to break it to you but I wasn’t at Coachella 😂,” he tweeted at the time.

The duo made headlines again when a source told Us Weekly that Leviss and Schwartz got cozy during Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding in August 2022. “Apparently there was some heavy drinking involved. They made out,” an insider exclusively revealed to Us, adding that they heard “through the grapevine” that “more happened” between the costars.

Scroll down for Leviss’ candid insight about getting back into dating:


Choosing to Be Single
Following her split, Leviss revealed she was in no rush to get back into a serious relationship. "I do feel like being single isn't a bad thing. It is a great time to relearn who you are and heal from your past traumas and to figure out what you really really like," she told Maloney on her podcast in April 2022. "And to date and to see if you like this person or do you not?" Raquel Leviss’ Net Worth Definitely Increased After ‘Vanderpump Rules’
Romance Rumors With Tom
Ahead of Shay and Davies' wedding, Leviss and Schwartz previously sparked romance rumors when a fan claimed to have seen them together at Coachella. The restaurant owner denied the speculation at the time, while Leviss stayed tight-lipped on the subject. That same month, Maloney opened up about how she was inspired by Leviss to end her marriage. "It was shocking and surprising [when Raquel announced her split at the VPR reunion]. It was sort of an empowering thing because I obviously hadn't talked about what I was feeling at that moment, I was still sitting with those feelings and confused by them," the podcast host, who exchanged vows with Schwartz in 2016, shared with Leviss. "But when you see someone seemingly in a position where they are planning a future, and with someone for a long time, make that kind of tough choice ... You feel like, 'I can potentially do this.'"

Connecting With Peter
During an interview with Us, the California native hinted at her connection with the SUR manager. "We have gone on a few dates," Leviss exclusively told Us in July 2022. "He asked me out after my breakup, obviously, and I was like, 'Well why not? Right?' I'm a yes-man now." She added: "I think it was more so just saying yes to him asking me out and just trying that whole thing out." Shutterstock (2)
Plans for the Future
Leviss noted that she wasn't looking for a long-term commitment just yet, sharing with Us, "I don't want a relationship. I don't want anything serious. I'm just a single girl in L.A. doing my thing."   Earl Gibson III/Shutterstock
