The proposal does not come as a surprise after the groom-to-be appeared on Overserved with Lisa Vanderpump. "Well, can you keep a secret? ... I love Raquel so much, you know that," Kennedy said.

He continued, "She really has helped me, and you've seen everything she's stuck by me with. I really couldn't imagine myself with anyone else on this planet. There's no 'buts' — I think I'm going to ask her to marry me."

In fact, in 2019 Kennedy told Us Weekly that he and the 25-year-old will "probably" be the next Vanderpump Rules wedding. "You know, I don’t like rushing that cause we’re like 10 years younger than everyone else on the show, but I love her so much," he said at the time.

Kennedy joined the show in season three when he was dating Kristen Doute before he met his bride-to-be in late 2015. Kennedy and Leviss made their relationship official in February 2016 and moved in together in 2018. Although they have had ups and downs, he credited Leviss for being his "rock" when he celebrated one year of sobriety last year.

"Letting go of drinking was the best decision I ever made and I’m going strong. I don’t miss the booze ...... I don’t miss the feeling .... I’m so grateful for everything now and life has become more beautiful in many ways," he shared in July.
