Weeks after reports that his girlfriend was pregnant, James Kennedy confirmed he’s expecting his first child with Jordan Meyers, sharing how they met and the couple’s reason for staying private until now.
James Kennedy didn’t just let the rumors breathe—he brought them into the light.
The 34-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum confirmed he’s going to be a dad after weeks of reports that his mystery girlfriend was pregnant with their first child. This time, he didn’t keep it vague. He named the person he’ll be welcoming a baby with: 23-year-old North Carolina native Jordan Meyers.
In a statement shared Thursday with People. Kennedy said: “We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together. We have previously kept our relationship out of the public eye. and this is the first time we’re sharing it publicly. We wanted to keep things personal while we were building our relationship together. and we’ve shared this news privately with close friends and family for some time now.”.
Meyers, who says she is currently four months pregnant, also opened up about how the relationship started. The couple has been dating for eight months after connecting on Instagram. she explained: “The second I met James. we instantly felt such a strong spark between us. We initially connected on Instagram and then met in person at one of his shows. I’m from North Carolina. so I went to visit James for what was supposed to be ‘three days. ’ which has now turned into eight months together. Watching our love grow and preparing to become parents together has been the most incredible experience.”.
Kennedy added that sharing the news publicly now felt like the right timing as they prepare for a new chapter together. He said: “As we prepare for this next chapter, it felt like the right moment to share it more widely. This is an incredibly special and meaningful time for us. and we feel deeply grateful to be stepping into this new chapter surrounded by love and support from our family and friends. It’s been a grounding and exciting part of our lives, and we’re looking forward to everything ahead. As we get ready to welcome our baby. we’re focused on embracing all of the joy. growth. and change that comes with becoming parents.”.
Kennedy and Meyers’ confirmation ends the guessing game that began with the earlier pregnancy reports—and begins the next one: what life looks like when a reality star steps into fatherhood for the first time.
