Former Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss discussed her breakup with businessman Matthew Dunn after one month of dating. She revealed on the Friday, June 27, 2024, episode of her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, that she ended things because he made their relationship public on social media. Rachel, who previously went by Raquel, said that Matthew uploaded a picture of them on social media, which she said was "too soon."
Rachel Leviss told her fans that she had asked Matthew not to post any of their photos on social media as it "was too soon in the relationship." However, she added that he changed his profile picture on Facebook to a photo of the two of them that went viral on social media.
"He told me one thing, and his actions were different. I asked him not to post on social media because it was too soon in the relationship. We were dating for a month," Rachel said on the podcast.
The picture Dunn shared showed him and Leviss at California's Stage Coach Festival in April, and the two were cozying up while smiling. Rachel, who was wearing a sparkling pink dress in the photo, noted on the podcast that while she was all smiles, she wasn't as happy in real life.
She added that Matthew Dunn had several qualities that she was looking for, but his not following her one social media rule didn't sit well with the former beauty queen. She noted feeling like he either had "an impulse control issue" or that he wanted to show her off.
"It just seemed like maybe he either had an impulse control issue because we agreed not to do that or he wanted to post to, like, show me off," Leviss said.
The episode of Rachel Goes Rogue was the first time that Rachel opened up and addressed the breakup with Matthew in public.

Besides her set standards, the reality TV star has a new rule for herself and her future partner. She said that she made the rule about not sleeping with someone on the third date since "I already have a reputation" and didn't want "people making assumptions."
"I definitely wouldn't sleep with someone on the third date, especially because I already have a reputation... [I] don't need people making assumptions about me being easy," the reality star revealed.
To fans, it seems like Rachel Leviss is trying to make sure that she isn't in the spotlight in the early stages of her dating life. This new approach seemingly came after her involvement in the infamous 2023 cheating scandal "Scandoval," which revealed her months-long affair with Tom Sandoval. The latter had been in a long-term relationship with Rachel's now-former best friend, Ariana Madix, leading to Ariana and Tom ending things.
