Lala Kent reflects on her mindset on Vanderpump Rules season 11

Viewers took to social media to accuse Lala and Scheana Shay of being jealous of Ariana Madix’s success in Vanderpump Rules season 11. Many netizens called them out for not being a supportive friend to Ariana, who was heartbroken after Scandoval - a cheating controversy involving Tom Sandoval (Ariana's boyfriend of nine years) and and cast member, Rachel Leviss.

Lala Kent explained that she still stands by everything that was said on the show by her, highlighting how Scandoval coincided with her split from Randall Emmett. She continued:

“I stand by everything that I said last season, even last season’s reunion. And I stand by everything I said this season. I’m in a different place than I was last year. Scandoval ran very parallel with where I was in my heartbreak, so I was out for blood.”

During the interview, Lala also reflected that she had been more "compassionate" this season as she embarked on a journey of embracing motherhood again.

More about Lala Kent’s second pregnancy

On March 4, the Vanderpump Rules star publicly disclosed she is expecting her second baby. The official announcement was made on Instagram where Lala declared in her maternity post, “I'm expanding my pod." The carousal included a monochromatic photograph of the reality star flaunting her pregnant belly alongside her 3-year-old daughter, Ocean.

In the next slide, the mother-daughter duo were seen smiling as bottles of vitamins lay in front of them. The comment section of the announcement post was filled with congratulatory messages for the mommy-to-be.

Lala Kent shares Ocean with her ex-boyfriend Randall Emmett, whom she met while working at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant in 2015. She was filming for Vanderpump Rules’ season 4 at the time, but chose to keep her partner’s identity a secret. Their relationship was made public after Randall’s divorce from actress Ambyr Childers was finalized.

Though Randall avoided cameras for many seasons, he made his appearance on the reality TV show during season 8. In September 2020, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together. Lala Kent and Randall Emmett called off their engagement a year later in October 2021, with the former accusing Randall of cheating on her multiple times.

In January 2024, Lala spoke at length about planning her second pregnancy via intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure during an interview with Cosmopolitan. A couple of months later, Lala confirmed she had conceived a second child.
