Lala Kent offered an update on her co-parenting relationship with her former fiance, Randall Emmett, while appearing on a podcast last month.
As she also addressed her decision to welcome her second child via a sperm donor, admitted daughter Sosa’s birth in September was “horrific,” and confirmed plans for a third child, the 34-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum revealed that she’s drank her own breastmilk, shared her thoughts on dating and her new home, and threw some shade at the cast of The Valley.
“[Randall] and I have learned to like, be productive in conversations and we still have ups and downs but it’s like, let’s look at the one thing we have in common and that’s Ocean and looking out for her best interest. It’s wild what time does,” Lala explained on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “I wouldn’t say we’re good. We have one thing in common and that’s our daughter and when we have conversations, we stick to that and they’re productive conversations.”
Because Lala feels that she now has “so much” more than she ever thought she would on her own, she was able to let go of the anger she held toward Randall, 53, who was accused of cheating on her with numerous women.
“I didn’t ever think that I would be okay without that person,” she admitted.
Following Lala and Randall’s breakup in October 2021, months after they welcomed daughter Ocean, she opted to go through a second pregnancy without a man — and with a donor she picked at a sperm party amid Pump Rules season 11.
“The one that we all gave the happy face to, that is my baby daddy,” she revealed. “I don’t know who he is, where he lives, what he looks like. I opted not to see adult photos because then it’s too close. It takes away the just mine aspect because if I’m out and about and I see someone that may look like him, there’s now a face to look at my daughter and be like, ‘She looks like the donor.’ I look at my daughter and I’m like, ‘She looks just like me.’ I don’t have anyone else to compare her to.’”
Reflecting on daughter Sosa’s birth, Lala said she was induced at 4 a.m. with “no food in [her] system.”
“It was horrific,” she admitted. “Every time they flipped me on my back, I would pass out and start vomiting, to get the baby moving, right? It didn’t feel scary when they were doing it but it was scary because every time they did it I passed out. She must have been situated in some type of way. It happened a few times.”
Despite the experience, Lala is excited to do it again.
“I’m not ready for this stage to be over … I’m not ready to accept that the baby stage is over until my kids have kids. [I’ll use the] same donor. I have 16 vials left because I got pregnant the first time, the first insemination … If I do three, what’s one more?” she wondered. “I love all of it.”
When the host then asked Lala about whether she was breastfeeding, she confirmed she was.
“I pumped when I got here, but there was nowhere to put my breast milk to save. [So] I put it in my coffee and drank 10 ounces of breast milk this morning. I’m not gonna dump it down the sink,” she explained. “I have a good factory. I don’t know how that happened either. Because I was never married to the idea of breastfeeding. I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll do it. Maybe my milk will come in. Maybe it won’t. Maybe she’ll latch me. Maybe she won’t. We’ll see.’”
Moving onto dating, Lala said that despite her relationship with Randall, she’s not looking for an older man.
“My ex is not my type, like, in any way shape or form … That was like a one-and-done. My past relationships, I need a lot of swag, I like them very tall. Tall dark and handsome is my type of dude, physically, but then you have to come with all the other stuff,” she explained. “An Odell Beckham. Michael B. Jordan’s a little bit short … MGK has a lot of swag. Or like a Viking-type man.”
“Brock’s got Viking energy,” she added.
What about Scott Disick? “Not even a little bit,” Lala replied.
Also on the podcast, Lala spoke of her latest house purchase.
“I have two houses now. I bought the one in Palm Springs as the vacation home and then I just bought a house for my family last year … I felt very, very proud … I love the Valley. The Valley is so underrated … That’s where to go to have your children. It’s just like, the place to be,” she gushed.
Lala then threw some shade at The Valley cast, saying, “A lot of those people don’t even live in the Valley.”
