Raquel Leviss Says She Didn’t Get Many Engagement Gifts From the Vanderpump Rules Cast
The Vanderpump Rules cast member finds out about one surprise gift her fiancé James Kennedy received on WWHL.
The relationship between Vanderpump Rules' James Kennedy and Raquel Leviss has long been a buzzy topic, especially ever since fans got front-row seats to the romantic Raquel-themed Coachella proposal. And the subject of their engagement is still on the forefront of viewers' minds as it came up on the couple's recent October 19 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
When the question of engagement gifts arose from a virtual fan — specifically asking which cast member from Vanderpump Rules gave the worst engagement gift — host Andy Cohen also wondered if the couple had received gifts from anyone.
"I actually didn't get many engagement gifts at all," revealed Raquel.
Though Andy noted that James and Raquel never actually had an official engagement party following the Coachella-themed proposal, James did mention one surprising gift he did receive from Tom Schwartz.
"I went over to Schwartz's house and he had a pair of Yeezys that were under the staircase," James explained, adding that Schwartz presented him with the luxury sneakers along with wishes for a happy engagement.
Apparently, it was the first time Raquel had heard of this unexpected gift, which James later confessed he hadn't yet worn. To hear more from James and Raquel on the matter, you can press play on the WWHL clip, above.
But it was Tom Sandoval who perhaps gave the greatest gift, as it was revealed in the October 19 episode that he took the lead in planning James' lavish proposal to Raquel. It also came with a pretty hefty price tag as Sandoval dropped $25K on the event. You can hear more about that in the clip first shared with Bravo Insider members, below.
Raquel and James may have missed out on receiving engagement gifts, but the pair have not stopped celebrating their love. Last month, the couple took a trip to Disneyland to celebrate Raquel's birthday.
"I’ve had so many incredible birthdays over my 27 years of existence, but this one takes the cake," wrote Raquel in her September 15 Instagram post. "I had so much fun with some of my best friends at Disneyland yesterday. I didn’t take many pictures because I wanted to enjoy the moment, but I do want to share this one cause this man always makes my bday extra special! Love you."
Recently, James also showed his appreciation for Raquel in a romantic photo he posted on Instagram.
"I must take a quick second and congratulate the love of my life! I think she has come such a long way and done so much growing up she’s my everything and I’m proud and so in love keep inspiring me everyday," wrote James in the caption of the photo, which showed the couple sharing a kiss in the Clubhouse.
