Ally Lewber confirmed her split from James Kennedy on Thursday, just hours after it was revealed he would not face charges following his domestic violence arrest.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 28, shared an emotional message on her Instagram Stories, announcing the couple had parted ways after two years of dating.
‘Thank you for all your support and kindness,’ Lewber wrote. ‘I am happy that prosecutors decided not to file against James as I never desired criminal charges. We had an argument outside of his home related to him drinking again; however, I was not physically hurt.’
The astrologer admitted she was ‘disheartened by how the event was portrayed.’
‘We are no longer together, but I’ll always support James and wish him the best with his sobriety and healing. Thank you for your understanding,’ she concluded.
Ally’s confirmation follows weeks of speculation about their relationship after Kennedy’s December 11 arrest, which occurred when Burbank police responded to a call about a ‘man and woman arguing’ at his residence around 11:30 p.m.

A witness claimed to have seen Kennedy and the woman arguing, and the reality star is said to have at one point grabbed the female, TMZ previously reported. Officers said they did not see any visible injuries on the woman.
At this time, there has been no confirmation Kennedy’s girlfriend, Ally Lewber, 28, was the reported victim. The arrest occurred after the couple attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas bash together.
The Burbank Police Daily Arrest Log reported that an officer spoke with both Kennedy and the woman that night inside a residence after receiving a 9-1-1 call, according to TMZ.

James Kennedy and Ally Lewber are 'basically done' following domestic violence arrest
While there, the woman, whose name was not revealed, told investigators she had been picked up by her boyfriend and that he threw her to the ground.
Police on the scene said they did not see any visible injuries on the alleged victim, but arrested Kennedy for misdemeanor domestic battery upon spouse/co-habitant.
A source has now shared with Us Weekly that friends of the couple believe they are ‘done’ after the arrest.
An insider shared with the publication that Kennedy has ‘been telling friends that they are just taking a break’ and that he and Ally are ‘still talking’.
However, ‘everyone around them thinks they are done and can’t come back from this,’ the source added.

Last month, an insider shared with DailyMail.com that Ally and James were ‘basically done’ following the arrest.
A source revealed that the couple of two years were giving one another space and are waiting for ‘the dust to settle’ for the sake of Kennedy’s DJ career.
The source said the couple are ‘indeed on rocky ground’ and a complete split is the most probable outcome.
The insider also claimed Ally may even give Kennedy ‘one more chance’ – however her friends and family want them to be over.
Lewber has since spoken out on Kennedy’s arrest in a statement posted to her Instagram stories.
She penned on December 14, ‘Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me.’
‘I’m okay and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.’
Kennedy also broke his silence on the arrest, writing on Instagram: ‘I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life.
‘I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth and being present for my loved ones.
‘Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.’
Lewber has been dating Kennedy since 2022
Kennedy was released after paying a $20,000 bail, according to police records.
A source told People of Kennedy’s alleged behavior at Hilton’s party prior to the arrest: ‘James was acting super aggressive all night long.’
‘He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way,’ the source alleged. ‘He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude.’
Attorneys for Kennedy previously told DailyMail.com: ‘We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James.
‘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 has been dating Lewber since 2022, following the end of his engagement to Rachel Leviss.
