James Kennedy and his girlfriend Ally Lewber are 'basically done' following his recent arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence, an insider has shared exclusively with DailyMail.com.
A source has revealed that the couple of two years are currently giving one another space and are waiting for 'the dust to settle' for the sake of Kennedy's DJ career.
The source said the couple are 'indeed on rocky ground' and a complete split is the most probable outcome.
The insider also claimed Ally, 28, may even give Kennedy, 32, 'one more chance' - however her friends and family want them to be over.
'James and Ally are basically done, hanging by a whim,' an insider told DailyMail.com 'They have agreed to give it some time apart and they want the dust to settle so he doesn't lose any future opportunities in DJing.'
Ally is also keen to see if James will emerge 'less unscathed' than what has already occurred if they wait it out, the source claims.

'And Ally loves him enough that she wants to see if the dust settles, he will get out of it less unscathed than what has happened so far. And of course, maybe she'll give him one more chance.'
The insider re-iterated it would a 'final chance', with Ally still harboring 'a lot of feelings'.
'And that is what it will be, one final chance. There are a lot of feelings still on the table for her, plus it's the holiday season and all the feels are there with that.'
However, Ally's friends and family want her to break it off with him completely.
'But her friends and family want her to be totally done with him. Easier said than done, but it is indeed on rocky ground and a full breakup is the most likely scenario.'
Lewber was seen moving her belongings out of the home she shares with Kennedy on Sunday, and TMZ reported on Monday that she has since moved into an Airbnb that she will be sharing with her visiting family before celebrating holidays with them in Ohio.
At the time, the outlet reported they were still together but giving one another space.
Burbank Police Department responded to a call about a 'man and woman arguing' at Kennedy’s residence around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 11.
At this time, there has been no confirmation Lewber was the reported victim.
The arrest occurred after Kennedy and Ally attended Kathy Hilton's Christmas bash together.
The Burbank Police Daily Arrest Log reported that an officer spoke with both Kennedy and a woman that night inside a residence after receiving a 9-1-1 call, according to TMZ.
While there, the woman, whose name was not revealed, told investigators she had been picked up by her boyfriend and that he threw her to the ground.

Police on the scene said they did not see any visible injuries on the alleged victim, but arrested Kennedy for misdemeanor domestic battery upon spouse/co-habitant.
Officers were initially summoned to the residence on reports Kennedy had gotten into an argument with the woman and grabbed.
On Saturday, Lewber spoke out on his arrest in a statement on her Instagram stories.
She penned, 'Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me.'
'I'm okay and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.'
Kennedy broke his silence on the arrest on Tuesday, writing on Instagram: 'I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life.
'I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth and being present for my loved ones.

'Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.'
Kennedy was released after paying a $20,000 bail, according to police records.
Kennedy's attorney, Scott Leeman, tried to downplay the severity of the incident, telling the outlet, 'We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city's attorney will decide not to file formal charges.'
A source told People: 'James was acting super aggressive all night long.'
'He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way,' the source alleged. 'He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude.'
Attorneys for Kennedy told DailyMail.com Friday: 'We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James.
'We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.'
Kennedy has been dating Lewber since 2022, following the end of his engagement to Rachel Leviss.
