'Vanderpump Rules' Alum Rachel Leviss Dating ‘Incredible’ Rocket Scientist

Rachel Leviss Announces Podcast Departure: “One Foot In, One Foot Out”

On October 17, Rachel shared with listeners her decision to end Rachel Goes Rogue. During the emotional announcement, she reflected on why it was time to move on. “I have decided to walk away from continuing the podcast because I would like to move on from having one foot in the door of Vanderpump Rules and one foot out,” she explained, acknowledging that her past with the show had continued to follow her throughout her podcast journey.

The news comes as Rachel steps into a new chapter of her life, one that includes a private relationship and a desire to live more authentically. “I’ll be focusing on myself, my healing, and a new relationship,” Rachel shared, revealing that her departure from the podcast aligns with her goals of moving past her reality TV persona.

Prioritizing Privacy and Values in Her New Life

Rachel’s shift in priorities also extends to how she approaches her personal life. After a decade in the public eye, the former reality star has developed a new perspective on what she chooses to share with the world. “I have considered sharing this for a little while. But I also have a new value of keeping things sacred to me and not sharing my whole life publicly the way that I have for the past 10 years,” Rachel explained.

While her podcast initially began as a way to discuss relationships, friendships, and personal growth, Rachel admitted that stepping back and protecting certain aspects of her life has become more important. However, she felt that sharing her relationship news with her listeners was appropriate, given the podcast’s focus on healthy relationships. “I have considered keeping this private and sacred to me but I actually do think that it’s fitting to share with the listeners of Rachel Goes Rogue — since this has kind of turned into a podcast about healthy relationships and healthy friendships.”

A New Romance: Rachel Finds Love with “Normal” Man

For fans wondering about Rachel’s romantic life, she dropped some hints about her new beau during the podcast announcement. While she has kept most details under wraps, Rachel described her new relationship as “very healthy and he’s very normal.” This is a significant shift from her previous relationships, many of which were publicized heavily during her time on Vanderpump Rules.

“Every time I describe him to my friends, I say that he’s normal and I show them a photo of him. They’re, like, ‘Wow, he does look normal.’ It’s such an accomplishment,” Rachel said, laughing at how different this relationship feels from her past experiences. “Given my dating history, normal was not necessarily something that I was looking for in somebody else. He’s just such a supportive person and I just feel really happy.”

In addition to revealing how supportive her new partner is, Rachel made it clear that her decision to step away from the podcast was something she carefully considered with him. “I did get the permission of my new relationship partner to share that information,” Rachel said, hoping that their story might inspire others who are on their own healing journeys. “When you do course correct and choose a different lifestyle for yourself and prioritize different things in your life and…put all that energy back into yourself, then you really will begin…to attract a different caliber of person.”

Mystery Man: Who Is Rachel’s New Beau?

Though Rachel has kept her new man’s identity under wraps, there’s no shortage of curiosity about who he might be. Sources close to Rachel have revealed to People that her mystery suitor is “a rocket engineer” who met Rachel through mutual friends. “They met through mutual friends and just hit it off,” the insider revealed. “He’s an incredible guy. Really smart and kind and down to earth and, most importantly, disinterested in social media. He’s not even on social media. So his priorities are really in the right place.”

This refreshing change from her past relationships seems to align with Rachel’s current focus on privacy and personal growth. As she continues to evolve post-Vanderpump Rules, it’s clear that her new relationship is a key part of that journey.

What’s Next for Rachel Goes Rogue?

Although Rachel is stepping away, fans of the Rachel Goes Rogue podcast won’t be left in the lurch. The podcast will continue with a new host, though it will take on a slightly different direction. “The podcast is going to go on, but there’s still going to be Vanderpump content to discuss,” a source close to the situation told People. “Rachel won’t be a part of it, but there will be someone new ready to go rogue.”

As for Rachel, she has plenty of options on the horizon. Her decision to leave the podcast is just one step in what seems to be a larger, more private chapter of her life. With her focus on personal healing and a new, healthy relationship, fans will have to wait and see what’s next for the former Vanderpump Rules star.
