Lala Kent Discusses Connections with Vanderpump Rules Cast Members
Lala Kent openly discussed her current relationships with fellow cast members from Vanderpump Rules. Her insights came during the November 19 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
When asked about her connection to Ariana Madix, Kent, 34, acknowledged that they "don't speak." Despite this, she praised Madix's success, saying she is "thrilled" for her. Kent emphasized her sincerity, directing her comments to the audience with a hint of humor.
Kent revealed she last saw Madix, 39, during the reunion for season 11, which aired from May 14 to May 28. During that reunion, she expressed disappointment over how Madix handled her breakup with Tom Sandoval. This reunion also marked the last occasion Kent interacted with Katie Maloney. Kent told Cohen they have not shared a room since then, highlighting the tensions that arose over Madix's split.
Regarding Tom Sandoval, Kent shared that they do keep in touch despite balancing responsibilities with her children, Ocean, 4, and newborn Sosa. Kent noted, "He will reach out every so often," but she admitted to being the "worst texter" and often not responding. She illustrated the limited nature of their friendship, stating, "Too little too late, buddy," referring to their past relationship.
Kent stated she has distanced herself from Kristen Doute, citing "burning a lot of bridges." However, she reported staying in contact with Lisa Vanderpump. The dynamic with Jax Taylor also drew interest, with Kent revealing that she "had to block him." Nevertheless, they see each other as their children attend the same school.
She confirmed that her daughter, Ocean, goes to school with Summer Moon and Cruz, children of Scheana Shay and Brock Davies, and Taylor and Brittany Cartwright. Kent mentioned she has a good relationship with Cartwright, stating that they "are thick."
Lastly, Kent discussed her feelings towards Tom Schwartz, expressing that she is back to "loving" him. She mentioned, "I just saw Schwartzy the other day," indicating a renewed positivity between them. Kent also talked about her coparenting journey with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, noting they have arrived at a place of "productive conversations" to effectively raise Ocean together.
