Rachel “Raquel” Leviss is reportedly dating a “really smart” rocket scientist.
“They met through mutual friends and just hit it off,” an insider told People Friday.
“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.”
Leviss did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The report about her boyfriend’s career as a rocket scientist comes after the former “Vanderpump Rules” star announced on the final episode of her “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast Thursday that she was seeing someone.
“He’s just such a supportive person, and I just feel really happy,” she told her podcast guest, psychologist Dr. Hillary Goldsher.
“The reason why I’m choosing to share it with you guys now, with the permission of my significant other, is because it is a success story, and there is hope for the people that are listening who are struggling with relationships and and really can’t quite see the light at the end of the tunnel yet,” Leviss explained.
“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.”
Of course, Leviss, 30, made headlines in March 2023 when her affair with former co-star Tom Sandoval was discovered. Their secret relationship, which had been quietly going on for months, led to Sandoval’s split from Ariana Madix, who had been his girlfriend of nine years.
Leviss and Sandoval, 42, broke up about two months later in May 2023.
She went on to claim Sandoval manipulated her into keeping quiet about the affair and slammed him for trying “to milk the victim role to make himself look better.”
About one year after the affair news broke, Leviss began dating single dad and investor Matthew Dunn.
However, she revealed on her podcast in June that she dumped him because he shared photos with her on social media only a month into their relationship.
During Thursday’s podcast episode, Leviss announced it would be her final show as she focuses on a “more balanced and healthier life.”
“I’ve made the decision to take both feet out of the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ universe and focus on myself and my healing,” she said.
She also said she was “choosing a life that is fully aligned in [her] values.”
Leviss declined to appear on Season 11 of “Vandrpump Rules” following the affair.
The future of the show remains unknown, as filming has been on pause since summer.
