“Obviously, I perceive all the rumors and drama and the whole thing that’s happened on the show. You know we’ve basically long gone via it together and I felt like those women went to the tip of the Earth to try and destroy my relationship,” he told Bravo about the claims that he was once unfaithful in March 2017. “But we’ve stuck thru everything and we adore each different. But that’s what makes relationships more potent is going via onerous instances and just right occasions.”
Kennedy and Leviss’ romance continued to face its demanding situations because the U.K. native attempted to get sober. In July 2020, the reality star celebrated one year of sobriety and credited Leviss with helping him reach the milestone.
