Rachel Leviss embarks on a fresh romantic chapter with Matthew Dunn amidst navigating life after the Scandoval uproar

Rachel Leviss, known from “Vanderpump Rules,” has recently been linked romantically to Matthew Dunn, a CEO in the investment sector, following her tumultuous breakup and the ensuing Scandoval drama. Although they are seeing each other, their relationship remains undefined, keeping things casual without any formal labels.

Juliette Harris, Rachel’s publicist, clarified in discussions with Entertainment Tonight that the duo are enjoying their time together without the pressures of a defined relationship. This situation, described more as a “situationship,” reflects their current phase of casually dating. According to sources, Rachel and Matthew met through mutual friends and have appreciated their shared moments since.

Earlier this year, Rachel openly shared on her podcast, “Rachel Goes Rogue,” her initial intention to abstain from dating for a year to focus on personal growth and emotional health. Her commitment was to understand her needs better and maintain a focus on herself, her family, and her friends—those she considers her ‘safe’ circle.

Her reflections on past relationships, particularly the infamous affair with Tom Sandoval, revealed her introspections about love and emotional attachment. Rachel recounted how she once believed she was in love with Tom, only to realize later that their connection lacked the depth of true love. This realization came after a significant scandal when Ariana Madix, Tom’s then-girlfriend, found incriminating evidence of Rachel and Tom’s secret relationship.

The scandal, which blew up publicly and coined the term “Scandoval,” led to immense personal and public fallout, culminating in Rachel’s decision not to return to “Vanderpump Rules” for its eleventh season. Instead, she checked into a mental health facility to seek the help she needed to recover from the intense scrutiny and stress brought on by the events.

As Rachel navigates her new life post-scandal and her evolving relationship with Matthew Dunn, fans and followers are keen to see how she transforms her experiences into lessons for personal empowerment and healthier relationships
