In August, ET exclusively reported that Leviss was officially not returning to 'Vanderpump Rules' for season 11.
Former Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss is again making headlines, this time for her budding romance with a new man.
"Rachel is seeing investment CEO Matthew Dunn. The two met through friends and have been enjoying their time together," a source tells ET.
Leviss' publicist, Juliette Harris, confirmed the situationship to ET but emphasized that assigning labels is premature. Harris stated that the two met just over a month ago and are currently getting to know each other as friends.
In January, the 29-year-old former reality star invited psychologist Dr. Hillary Goldsher onto her iHeartRadio podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, to delve into her behavior that sparked controversy amid Vanderpump Rules fans.
Leviss disclosed her decision to take a break from dating for nearly a year, emphasizing a focus on self-discovery and emotional well-being.
"I'm not dating for a year, and in doing that, I'm just focusing on myself. And after this talk, focusing on my emotions that come up for me. Like, what are my own needs that I need met? And not adding an additional person into the equation, so that it is just focused on me and other people as well my friends and family and the people that are in my inner circle that are safe friends," she shared.
This new romantic development comes after Leviss was entangled in a highly publicized affair with former Vanderpump Rules cast member Tom Sandoval. The affair, which began in the summer of 2022, sparked controversy and led to a messy breakup between Sandoval and his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.
Sandoval and Leviss' romance unfolded amid allegations of infidelity and emotional turmoil. Their relationship came to light while filming the show's 10th season reunion, where they professed their love for each other. However, the fallout from their affair ultimately led to Leviss' departure from the reality series.
In August, ET exclusively reported that Leviss was officially not returning to Vanderpump Rules for season 11.
"Rachel will not be returning for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. There was a possibility up until recently she'd be returning for the new season, but ultimately decided against it," a source told ET at the time. "Rachel is focused on her mental health journey and knew going back to the show would open her up to trauma she's been working on healing. Rachel is looking forward to what the future holds for her."
Meanwhile, Sandoval and Madix have since parted ways. Madix is currently dating fitness trainer Daniel Wai, and Sandoval is dating model Victoria Lee Robinson.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
