On June 30, Kennedy, 34, revealed that he proposed to Meyers, 23, at the picturesque Villa D’Este on Lake Como, Italy. His post featured a Polaroid shot of the proposal, alongside images of the couple enjoying their time at the enchanting venue. “We’re engaged!! I love you, adventures with you forever and ever. Thank you for making me the luckiest guy in the world,” he declared, expressing his joy and commitment.
Meyers mirrored Kennedy’s enthusiasm in her own Instagram post, sharing the same Polaroid of the proposal along with additional candid photos. Her message reflected deep affection, beginning with, “Forever with my best friend 💍♥️,” and continuing to express gratitude for the love and joy Kennedy has brought into her life. “I feel so blessed to fall asleep and wake up next to you every single day—I can’t wait to do that forever,” she added, highlighting the couple’s emotional connection.
The engagement announcement comes shortly after the couple confirmed they are expecting their first child, revealing the joyful news on June 11, 2026. Weeks earlier, Kennedy had addressed pregnancy rumours, affirming their relationship status and disclosing that Meyers was four months along. “We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together,” he told PEOPLE. He noted that they had chosen to keep their relationship private while nurturing their bond, sharing their news with close friends and family first.
Meyers described the initial meeting with Kennedy as an instant spark that has only intensified over time. “Watching our love grow and preparing to become parents together has been the most incredible experience,” she said, her excitement apparent as she looks forward to their future together. “We are already so in love with our little one!” This reflection showcases their commitment to each other and their upcoming family.
Kennedy’s past relationships have included romances with three other cast members from “Vanderpump Rules”: Ally Lewber, Raquel Leviss, and Kristin Doute. His relationship with Lewber lasted from January 2022 to January 2025, ending shortly after an incident that involved police intervention, although no charges were filed.
Kennedy and Leviss were previously engaged but ended their relationship in December 2021 after five years together. His brief relationship with Doute took place between 2014 and 2015, following her split from co-star Tom Sandoval.
Since rekindling his career following his breakups, Kennedy has been focusing on charitable initiatives. He has been involved with organisations such as the Midnight Mission, Vanderpump Dogs, and various homeless shelters and recovery centres in Los Angeles. Alongside these charitable pursuits, Kennedy continues to develop his DJ career, recently performing at notable events like Coachella and holding residencies at prominent venues.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter, it is evident that Kennedy and Meyers are committed to building a life together filled with love and adventure. Fans of “Vanderpump Rules” and followers of the couple’s journey are eager to see how their story unfolds, especially with the joyful addition of their expected child. With wedding plans and parenthood on the horizon, the couple’s future appears bright.
