Rachel Leviss Opens Up About Being ‘Ready to Date’ and Seeking Emotional Maturity in Relationships
Rachel Leviss, known from Vanderpump Rules, is embracing a new chapter in her love life, revealing candid insights on her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, about her readiness to explore romance with a fresh perspective.
As summer unfolds, Leviss expressed her eagerness to date again, sharing, “I’m ready to date. I’ve gotten my life in order enough where I’m open to that.”
She emphasized her criteria for a potential partner, seeking someone “safe and reliable and emotionally mature, emotionally stable, and someone who’s gonna treat me right.”
While hoping for a “fun summer fling that could lead to something more serious,” Rachel also sees dating as a journey of self-discovery. “I’m looking to expand my own experience and learn more about myself,” she explained.
In light of her past experiences, Leviss outlined new rules regarding intimacy. “I definitely wouldn’t sleep with someone on the third date, especially because I already have a reputation,” she asserted, alluding to her previous relationship with former co-star Tom Sandoval.
Reflecting on advice from her therapists during a stay at a mental health facility, Leviss mentioned they encouraged her to refrain from intimacy until at least two months of dating.
Recalling her history of fast-moving relationships, including her engagement with James Kennedy, Rachel acknowledged the need for a balanced approach. “I tried this dating experience with the new person that approached me and asked me on a date. I intentionally wanted to take it slow,” she recounted, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection and deeper conversations.
Addressing recent speculation about her romantic life, Leviss was linked to businessman Matthew Dunn following her high-profile affair with Sandoval.
Her publicist clarified their status as friends getting to know each other, emphasizing it was too early to define their relationship.
Rachel Leviss has been transparent about her journey, including a decision to pause dating amid personal challenges. “I’m not dating for a year, and in doing that, I’m just focusing on myself,” she shared in an earlier podcast episode.
This intentional focus allows her to prioritize personal growth and emotional stability, supported by her inner circle.
As Rachel navigates this new phase, she remains optimistic about what lies ahead, committed to finding a healthy balance in both her personal and romantic life.
