He may no longer be a reality star, but James Kennedy is still messy enough to fuel a dozen seasons of a Bravo show.
As we previously reported, Kennedy is expecting her first child with his current girlfriend.
There’s nothing inherently messed up about that news (well, unless you consider how recently Kennedy was arrested for allegedly assaulting his ex-boyfriend), but the more we learn about this situation, the more infuriating it becomes.
Until today, we didn’t know something about James’s baby mama.
But now, the troubled ex-Vanderpump rules star has identified her as 23-year-old Jordan Meyers from North Carolina.
“We are excited to announce that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together,” Kennedy said in a statement released to People on Friday.
“We’ve kept our relationship out of the public eye in the past and this is the first time we’re sharing it publicly,” he continued, adding:
“We wanted to keep things private while we built our relationship together and have been sharing this news privately with close friends and family for some time now.”
“When I met James, we instantly felt such a strong spark between us,” Meyers said.
Jordan went on to reveal that she and James met on Instagram,
“We connected on Instagram and then met in person at one of his shows. I’m from North Carolina so I visited James for what was supposed to be ‘three days’ which has now turned into eight months together,” she said, adding:
“Watching our love grow and prepare to become parents together has been the most incredible experience,” adds Meyers.
Now, Jordan is 11 years younger than James, which isn’t a huge age difference, but the fact that a guy in his mid-30s was talking to fans in his early twenties on social media? Well, that might not do his battered public image any favors.
Just four months after the couple started dating, Jordan became pregnant.
“As we prepare for this next chapter, it felt like the right time to share it more widely,” James said of the couple’s decision to go public.
“This is an incredibly special and meaningful time for us and we feel deeply grateful to enter this new chapter surrounded by the love and support of our family and friends,” he said, adding:
“It’s been a grounding and exciting part of our lives, and we look forward to everything ahead. As we prepare to welcome our baby, we’re focused on embracing all the joy, growth, and change that comes with parenthood.”
“I’m so excited for all the beautiful memories to come – we’re already so in love with our little one!” Meyers added.
James’ past relationship drama has been well documented. But the controversial DJ swears he has changed.
of course, Jax Taylor said the same thingand see how it turned out. In any case! I wish them both the best. People really can change and we hope James has done the necessary work.
