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.

Rachel Leviss is "looking forward" to dating after her recent breakup

During the latest episode of her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Rachel Leviss, opened up about her break up with Matthew Dunn and how she has since moved on. The Vanderpump Rules alum said that she has moved on from the relationship and is in a better place to date other people. She added that she had already set her standards and rules if she ever decided to date someone.

Talking about what she's looking for in a new partner, Rachel Leviss said she was looking for someone who would "treat me right."

"I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking for someone who is safe and reliable and emotionally mature, emotionally stable, and someone who's gonna treat me right," she said.

Leviss also said that while a "fun summer fling" sounded like a great idea, she would prefer dating someone who would help her "learn more about herself."

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.
