Amber Lancaster Divorce: New Projects New Boyfriend after Split from Aj Allodi

Amid quite a rewarding career, Amber Lancaster has had her share of challenges in the last few years. The TV star married and divorced, became a mother, and nearly lost her life. But in the face of constant adversity, she has built a supportive online community and has found a new love.

Washington native Amber Lancaster drew her first breath in Tacoma on September 19, 1980. Her love for dancing and performing ignited at six when she started giving free talent shows in her neighborhood. Lancaster would also visit nursing homes to share her talents and make friends.

Her passion for dancing remained, and she became a member of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks cheerleading squad, the Sea Gals. It’s unclear when, but she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an entertainment career full-time. Between 2003 and 2006, she was a professional dancer on the music talk show “Soul Train.”

She is chiefly recognized for her portrayal of Jenny Swanson, the lead character’s love interest, in “The Hard Times of RJ Berger” between 2010 and 2011. The former Miss Washington Teen USA winner also joined CBS’s game show, “The Price Is Right,” as a model in 2008.

And while she has enjoyed the fruits of her work, Lancaster also nurtured her personal life. She tied the knot with a businessman in 2017, and the two started a family. Lancaster has yet to clarify when it happened, but their marriage ended in divorce.

In a late 2022 TikTok video, Lancaster shed some light on how she responded to people who asked how she was doing after her divorce. The eight-second clip showed her standing in her kitchen holding a wine-filled glass, lip-syncing the words, “This is just a update, uhm, I am depressed, but I am skinny, and I am very pretty, so. (sic)”

She concluded the video with a shrug. With a more reflective tone on Valentine’s Day this year, she wrote that her life had “turned upside down” and was “almost taken” from her in 2020. “I felt like I had lost everything and wasn’t sure if I could ever dig myself out of that dark hole,” she penned.

Lancaster didn’t specify this tragic event, and it’s unknown what year her divorce occurred, but she is likely referring to her separation from her ex-husband. The last photo that featured him on her Instagram timeline is dated December 19, 2019.

She continued in her reflective post, detailing the downward spiral of her mental health during that time but noting that she made it to the other side of heartbreak. Since then, despite a few hard days now and then, she has been “thriving.”

AJ Allodi is the Director of Sales at PanoScape and has served in that position since December 2019. Before then, he had worked for a year in Biocare Sales at Hofseth North America. Allodi was also the Director of West Coast Sales for Philo Media, Inc., between 2013 and 2018.

Between January 2010 and November 2012, the Miami University graduate was a Partner and Account Executive at Fig(1) Brand Studio. It’s unknown when his and Lancaster’s romance began, but the former couple married in 2017 in Palm Springs.

“It was the most incredible day spent with the people we love the most. We couldn’t have asked for anything more,” they told People at the time. Lancaster had even recited a journal entry about Allodi as part of her vows. In August 2019, the pair welcomed their baby boy, Russell Levi, two months before his due date.

It was a traumatic delivery for Lancaster, who faced several health complications that landed her son in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and her in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Lancaster only got to hold her baby a week after he was born and in between surgeries.

The mom of one honors her son’s birth and her survival with an annual tribute on her social pages. Since their split, she and Allodi have co-parented Russell, whose pictures and clips fill up most of his dad’s Instagram timeline.

Lancaster once joked about their co-parenting relationship in a TikTok video she captioned, “When it’s your ex’s night with your kid.” In the clip, she picks up an alcoholic drink and sings along to the lyrics, “You. Will. Be… Popular! You’re gonna be popular.”

Like Allodi, Lancaster spends much time with her son but has also diversified her career further. In addition to blogging on Instagram and TikTok, she has ventured into entrepreneurship. Lancaster runs an online shop called the Broken Hearts Club.

Her merchandise primarily consists of clothing, such as hoodies for adults and toddlers, t-shirts, and caps. Last month, she was invited to testify in support of Bowie’s Law at the California State Capitol. The law obligates animal shelters to provide a 72-hour notice before euthanizing adoptable animals.

It was passed unanimously. Saving and protecting animal lives has been a passion for Lancaster, and taking this step in action was fulfilling. She shared the achievement with her followers, noting that while Bowie’s Law would protect animals, it was only a start.

Lancaster revealed her new beau in a recent Instagram post. The actress shared a video montage, with country crooner Christ Stapleton singing “Starting Over” in the background, depicting her and her lover enjoying each other’s company at the Stagecoach Festival. Fans couldn’t be happier for Lancaster, but the identity of her new boyfriend is unknown at this time.
