The news of their engagement comes weeks after Kennedy exclusively confirmed his relationship to PEOPLE, and revealed that they are expecting their first baby together. They shared their June 11 announcement after pregnancy rumors surrounded Kennedy the month prior; they confirmed they were dating and Meyers was four months pregnant.
“We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together,” Kennedy told PEOPLE. “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 said, “The second I met James, we instantly felt such a strong spark between us.”
"Watching our love grow and preparing to become parents together has been the most incredible experience," Meyers added. “I'm so excited for all the beautiful memories still to come — we are already so in love with our little one!”

Prior to Kennedy and Meyers' relationship, he dated three other Vanderpump Rules castmates: Ally Lewber, 30, Raquel Leviss, 31, and Kristin Doute, 43.
He dated Lewber from January 2022 to January 2025. They split shortly after Kennedy was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence on Dec. 10, at the couple's Burbank, Calif., home. Charges were never filed, and Lewber later said she was not “hurt physically” that night, but “emotionally.”
Kennedy and Leviss were together for five years. They were engaged in May 2021 but ended their relationship that December.
Kennedy and Doute dated between 2014 and 2015 following her split from Vanderpump Rules' costar Tom Sandoval.

He recently appeared at Coachella's Neon Carnival, Diplo's HonkyTonk at Stagecoach, EDC and holds residencies at LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
