Why James Kennedy wants Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss’ romance to ‘survive’

James Kennedy hopes his ex-fiancée, Raquel Leviss, and Tom Sandoval are in it for the long haul.

The DJ shared his admittedly “weird” wish on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” Wednesday night.

“Just think about all the dreams they’re gonna have in each other’s bed and all the traumatic s–t they’re gonna go through,” Kennedy, 31, explained while giggling.

“As a couple, if they survive each other and go through it, hats off,” he continued.

Kennedy went on to ask Andy Cohen and fellow guest Tinx to “imagine” how little sense it would make for him and Sandoval’s ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix to last in “another Spidey-verse.”

As the audience laughed, he sarcastically concluded, “I wish them both luck. I wish them the best.”

Kennedy previously dated Leviss, 28, for five years before getting down on one knee in May 2021. The former couple issued a breakup statement in December of that same year.

The following year, the former pageant queen began a months-long affair with Sandoval during his and Madix’s relationship, with the dalliance being dubbed Scandoval.

Elsewhere in Kennedy’s “WWHL” interview, the “Vanderpump Rules” star blasted Sandoval, 40, for hitting “rock bottom” with the infidelity.

As for Leviss, he admitted that his ex was “always” a “massive fan” of the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman when they were together.

While Leviss and Sandoval kept their betrayal under wraps filming Season 10 of the Bravo show, their co-stars have started catching on in recent episodes.

Sandoval, however, blatantly denied cheating rumors in a confessional Wednesday, saying, “Nothing has happened between Raquel and I. Like, nothing.

“Like, [nothing] that wouldn’t happen between, you know, me and Katie [Maloney],” the bar owner added.

Filming resumed after Scandoval made headlines in March, with the reunion filmed later that same month.

“I get it out on camera. … I get it off my chest,” Kennedy said of the taping. “And then I let it go.”

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
