Vanderpump Rules alum is trying to get on the right path forward following his recent domestic violence arrest.

“James is trying to win everything back including [girlfriend] [],” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “If he doesn’t stay sober, he knows he has a lot to lose.”

According to the insider, Lewber, 28, is keeping her distance for now as Kennedy prioritizes his sobriety. The source adds that Kennedy is “staying sober and getting treatment. He’s taking it [very] seriously.”

“Ally is staying away until he gets help and she is leaning on friends and family.” the insider says. “People are rallying around her. She has a lot of support.”

Lewber’s parents “have come into town and they have gotten an Airbnb and have taken her there,” a source close to the situation exclusively told Us Weekly, adding that the couple “are having some distance but it’s not […]

Kennedy’s reps did not respond to Us’ request for comment.

Kennedy, 32, was arrested on Tuesday, December 10, after law enforcement received a call “regarding an argument between a man and a woman” at Kennedy and Lewber’s home. Police deemed it to be a “domestic incident” and Kennedy was subsequently taken into custody.

After news of his arrest broke, Kennedy’s attorneys spoke out in a statement to Us.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” the December 13 statement read. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

Kennedy and Lewber started dating in January 2022. Three months before they met, Kennedy and his former Pump Rules costar called off their engagement. In March 2022, the DJ and Lewber made their relationship Instagram official, showing off pics from the couple’s vacation to Tulum, Mexico.

Lewber, for her part, has remained out of the public eye since Kennedy’s arrest made headlines, but she took to social media to let everyone know how she was faring.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” Lewber wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, December 14. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”
