After taking time to be single post-Scandoval, Rachel Leviss is dating again. When Rachel officially chose not to return for Vanderpump Rules Season 11, she also ghosted Tom Sandoval. Her former affair partner very publicly moved on with model Victoria Lee Robinson. Meanwhile, Rachel hasn’t been linked to anyone since the affair.
Over a year after Scandoval, however, Rachel was spotted with Matthew Dunn. After speculation based on social media activity, Rachel’s team confirmed the dating rumors. Here’s everything we know so far about the new man in Rachel’s life.
How did Rachel and Matthew Dunn start dating?
A source told Entertainment Tonight that Rachel and Matthew have been seeing each other for about a month. They reportedly met through mutual friends. So far, it seems very casual. Rachel’s publicist Juliette Harris confirmed to ET that the two are getting to know each other. However, she emphasized it’s still too early for any labels.
Rachel first gave a glimpse of Matthew on April 15th, when she posted a video of them riding in an ATV on Instagram. She captioned the video, “more of this, please.” The comments section was filled with questions about the man sitting next to her. However, the video has since been deleted from Rachel’s grid.
Also on April 15th, Matthew posted a group photo that included Rachel. He thanked two friends for “making the connections”, although it’s unclear if these were the friends who introduced him to Rachel. In the caption, he wrote, “We rode over the mountains and through the woods but grandma’s house could not be found. However, we did rally the side by sides and swam at a waterfall!” At the time, Rachel commented, “what an incredible experience.” Matthew replied “So much fun,” punctuated with a kissing face emoji.
What has Rachel said about Matthew?
The 29-year-old acknowledged the developments in her love life on the May 2nd episode of her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue. While she didn’t mention Matthew by name, Rachel said, “We are friends, you know, getting to know each other”. Vanderpump Rules viewers will remember that Sandoval also started as Rachel’s friend. Although Ariana Madix dismissed the pair’s friendship as “bullsh*t”.
His social media pages are now private
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Matthew quickly made his Instagram and Facebook social media pages private once his connection to Rachel was revealed. Before he did so, people noted that his Facebook profile picture was a shot of him and Rachel. That might count as a hard launch!
What does Matthew Dunn do for a living?
Rachel’s last two relationships were with a DJ and a bar owner/cover band singer. But her new beau works in a very different industry.
ET’s sources described Matthew as an “investment CEO”. According to his LinkedIn profile, Matthew is currently the CEO of Dunn Investment Group, a think tank in Spokane Valley, Washington. In May 2022, Matthew was featured on the Instagram page happinessandwellnesspromo. In the caption, he was described as a “seven-figure business owner.”
Before that, he was President of Alliance, a Spokane area car dealership. While at Alliance, Matthew frequently appeared on the dealership’s social media pages. He and the salespeople made several silly videos on TikTok.
According to Matthew’s LinkedIn, he also served as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps from 2010-14.
Matthew is a single dad
Matthew has a young daughter from a previous relationship. After the fuss over his Facebook profile picture with Rachel, Matthew switched to a picture of him and his daughter.
What did Rachel say about dating before Matthew came into the picture?
In an early episode of her podcast, Rachel said she was taking a year off from dating. Back in January, she explained, “I’m just focusing on myself and…focusing on my emotions that come up for me. Like what are my own needs that I need met? And not adding an additional person into the equation.” In other episodes, she discussed working through a love addiction as part of her treatment at The Meadows.
At this point, it has been about a year since Rachel ghosted Sandoval. Plus, both Ariana and Sandoval already moved on to new romantic relationships. It only seems fair that Rachel moves on as well.
However, she isn’t detached from her ex entirely. Rachel is suing both Sandoval and Ariana for revenge porn. Just recently, she slammed Sandoval’s response to the lawsuit on her podcast.
