Raquel Leviss claims she’s ‘just getting to know’ rumored beau Matthew Dunn after Tom Sandoval affair

Rachel “Raquel” Leviss is not in a committed relationship with single dad Matthew Dunn — just yet.

“It’s a little too soon to jump to any labels,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alum’s publicist told People Tuesday.

“They met a little over a month ago and are friends just getting to know each other. They met and are hanging out.”

Leviss, 29, sparked romance rumors with Dunn, 32, last month after she posted a video on Instagram of herself riding in an ATV next to him, captioning it, “More of this, please. 🫶🏼🌵✨.”

Fans in the comments section immediately asked, “New boyfriend?!!❤️” and “Okayyy!! Who is the hottie in the drivers seat 😈 🙌.”

The Dunn Investment Group CEO also shared photos of himself hanging out with the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast host on his social media profiles, per screenshots obtained by the Taste of Reality blog. However, he has since gone private.

“They met a little over a month ago,” the rep shared.

In January, Leviss vowed to take a break from dating, saying on her podcast, “I’m not dating for a year, and in doing that, I’m just focusing on myself … my emotions that come up for me. Like, what are my own needs that I need met?”

Dunn, who has a young daughter, is the first man to whom the former pageant contestant has been romantically linked since her breakup from former co-star Tom Sandoval following their scandalous affair, dubbed Scandoval.

The exes — who secretly dated for months from the summer of 2022 to early 2023 behind Sandoval’s then-girlfriend Ariana Madix’s back — decided to officially call it quits in May 2023.

“Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her,” an insider told Page Six exclusively at the time.

A month prior, Leviss entered a mental health facility to work on herself and uncover the reasons why she decided to deceive one of her best girlfriends with Sandoval, 41.

In September 2023, Leviss made it known that she had cut all ties with the Schwartz and Sandy’s co-owner by blocking him on Instagram after he sent her a public birthday message.
