Jaime and Ally 28, they began their relationship in January 2022, shortly after Jaime He ended his engagement to “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss. They met at a concert by Tom Sandoval’s band, The Most Extras. Ally He later admitted to being a fan of the Bravo show, stating:

Jaime’ Struggles with alcohol have been a recurring theme on “Vanderpump Rules.” In 2021, he celebrated two years of sobriety and shared on Instagram: “TODAY I AM 2 YEARS SOBER💜. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my journey so far. Here’s to many more years without alcohol #forlife (for anyone struggling, believe me, the light at the end is brighter than anything I could have imagined. And if I can do it, you can too).”
That same year, Jaime He described himself as “California sober,” indicating that he used certain substances such as marijuana in moderation but abstained from alcohol. This approach faced criticism from his then co-star Lala Kent, who is completely sober. Jaime He defended his stance by saying: “It helped me quit alcohol for good, you know what I mean? I’ll also quit marijuana when the time comes. … I don’t feel like I should quit now, you know? “It doesn’t make sense.”
For now, neither Jaime neither Ally have commented publicly on the arrest. The Burbank City Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case to determine if formal charges will be filed.
