Also during her interview with Bravo's "The Daily Dish," Vanderpump said that while Kennedy has been sober for nearly two years, she still did her best to keep in close contact with the DJ throughout the recent shutdowns in Los Angeles and around the world.

"James was one of the people that I had more contact with through COVID than [anyone] because he always worries me," Vanderpump admitted. 

"[I've] always felt very maternal towards James," she added.
