Noting that the lack of a social scene throughout the pandemic changed things between them, Leviss echoed her now-fiance's sentiment. "I would say the pandemic is really a make or break situation. It really tests your relationship to see, in the long run, how are things going to pan out?" she said to Bravo Insider. "Without the parties, without the TV shows, without everything that LA life has to offer, we still love hanging out with each other and being with each other every day."
Fellow Bravo celebrities commented on the pair's announcements with emojis and words of congratulations. VPR's Danica Dow, Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix shared their excitement as well as Summer House star, Kyle Cooke. Bravo also noted that the newly engaged pair will return for season nine of the Bravo series.
UsWeekly reports that the two moved in together in 2018 and, in 2020, he credited her support as the driving force behind his sobriety. "Letting go of drinking was the best decision I ever made and I'm going strong," he wrote at the time of his one-year sobriety anniversary. "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. Thank you to my rock @raquelleviss for getting me here I couldn't of done this without you my love."
