Rachel Leviss' New Chapter: From 'Scandoval' To Serenity

The Rise and Fall of a Reality TV Star

Rachel Leviss first graced the small screens as James Kennedy's girlfriend on season 5 of Bravo’s 'Vanderpump Rules.' Fans watched their engagement unfold in a Coachella-themed proposal in May 2021. However, the fairytale didn’t last, and they split by year’s end. Fast forward to 2023, Rachel was entangled in the headline-grabbing 'Scandoval' – a steamy affair with co-star Tom Sandoval that made waves across Tinseltown. With Sandoval still involved with Ariana Madix, the scandal pushed Leviss into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Life After 'Scandoval' – A Fresh Start

Post-scandal, Leviss stepped away from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. In an August 2024 chat with Us Weekly, she revealed her transformation and new lifestyle choices. "I think the biggest is not living in L.A. anymore [and] not drinking anymore," she disclosed. "I realized that I don’t need alcohol. Also surrounding myself with positive people. Those are the real life-changing lifestyle choices that I’ve made," she added, marking a clear departure from her past life.

“I think the biggest is not living in L.A. anymore [and] not drinking anymore. That’s more of a promise to myself...”

Relocating to Arizona, Leviss embraced a new path as a mental health advocate and certified sound bowl practitioner. Her Instagram is filled with glimpses of her sound healing journey and the serene retreats she hosts. She expresses gratitude for the opportunity to promote healing and growth, sharing her joy in a heartfelt March 2025 post.

Finding Love and Stability

Love has also found its way back into Leviss' life. Since 2024, she’s been in a relationship with Jason Boucher – a man she describes as 'normal,' a refreshing change from her past experiences. "Every time I describe him to my friends, I say that he’s normal and I show them a photo of him," Leviss shared on her podcast, underlining her newfound appreciation for stability.

The couple’s romance has been shared openly on social media, with images from their Italian getaway and holiday celebrations. In April 2025, Leviss reflected on their relationship, expressing profound gratitude for Boucher's impact on her life. "Jason, you’ve expanded my world in more ways I could have ever imagined," she penned, clearly cherishing this new chapter.
