In a candid interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” former "Vanderpump Rules" star Ally Lewber discusses her emotional journey following the breakup with ex-boyfriend James Kennedy. The 29-year-old astrologer reveals how conflicting advice from Lisa Vanderpump and Scheana Shay influenced her perspective on the split, ultimately leading her to reassess the dynamics of her relationship. While Vanderpump's Virgo traits contributed to her defense of Kennedy, Shay provided clarity about potential manipulation in the situation. This personal reflection also marks Lewber's new chapter as she launches her podcast "StarStruck with Ally Lewber," blending astrology insights with real-life experiences.
Lewber’s narrative begins with a vulnerable phone call she received from Lisa Vanderpump after her January 2025 breakup with Kennedy. During this conversation, Vanderpump attempted to convince Lewber that perhaps their separation was not the best decision. As an astrologer, Lewber attributes Vanderpump’s persuasive abilities partly to her zodiac sign, Virgo, known for its articulate nature. However, despite being impressed by Vanderpump’s reasoning, Lewber felt conflicted and unsure if she had made the right choice.
Seeking further guidance, Lewber turned to Scheana Shay, a trusted friend and former co-star. Shay offered a different viewpoint, asserting that Lewber might have been manipulated during the relationship. This revelation resonated deeply with Lewber, allowing her to gain a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding her breakup. Her interaction with Shay reinforced the importance of trusting one's instincts rather than solely relying on external opinions.
Beyond personal relationships, Lewber emphasizes her ongoing support for Kennedy's recovery process. Although they are no longer together, she remains committed to wishing him well in his journey toward sobriety and healing. Additionally, Lewber acknowledges Vanderpump’s genuine concern for Kennedy, recognizing that her advocacy stems from a place of care and compassion.
As "Vanderpump Rules" embarks on a reboot featuring a fresh cast, Lewber continues to carve out her own path. With her newly launched podcast, she aims to share astrological wisdom intertwined with relatable life stories. By reflecting on her past experiences and embracing supportive friendships, Lewber demonstrates resilience and growth, proving that sometimes seeking diverse perspectives can lead to profound self-awareness.
