Lala Kent’s Net Worth, Boyfriend, & Bio – Vanderpump Rules

Lala Kent is currently single. She was engaged to television and film producer Randall Emmett with whom she shares a daughter. The former couple welcomed their daughter, Ocean Kent Emmett (8), on March 15, 2021. 

Aside from being a fan favorite on Vanderpump Rules, Kent is famous for her tumultuous relationship with her ex-fiancé. The pair met after Randall’s assistant approached Lala while working as a hostess at SUR and asked if she already had a manager. She directed him to her agent’s contact information on her Instagram bio. The following day, Kent’s agent informed her that famous Hollywood producer Emmett wanted her to audition for the upcoming film that he was producing.

After meeting and giving Lala the role of Riley Cole in “The Row,” the pair engaged in a whirlwind romance. Randall showered Lala with expensive gifts, including a pair of Christian Louboutin boots and an army-green Chanel bag. Kent admitted that she slept with the movie producer after their first date in New York City. Emmett, in return, gifted Lala a brand new Range Rover SUV.

Lala Kent had to keep her relationship with Randall Emmett a secret. At the time of their meeting and affair, Randall was still married but separated from his actress wife, Ambyr Childers, with whom he shares daughters, London and Rylee Emmett. In 2018, the former couple took their romance public after Emmett’s divorce from Childers was finalized.

On September 2, 2018, Randall and Lala announced their engagement after two years of dating. Randall popped the question during a romantic trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they celebrated Lala’s 28th birthday at the swanky Esperanza An Auberge Resort (9). Emmett proposed with a six-carat diamond engagement ring. The sparkler, designed by Richie Rich of Leon Diamond New York, features a center stone surrounded by smaller diamond stones on top of an 18k white gold band. While they were together, the couple lived in a mansion a quarter-mile from Mulholland Drive and the 405 Freeway.

Lala Kent and Randall Emmett broke up in October 2021, three years after getting engaged. The split resulted from Emmett getting caught cheating with two women at a Nashville hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. In an episode of her Give Them Lala podcast, Kent revealed that she felt disposable (10) after the split. She disclosed that she found out that Randall had multiple affairs with other women while they were together.

After their controversial split, Lala discovered that her engagement ring’s diamond stone was a fake. Emmett previously boasted that the sparkler is worth $150,000. Kent explained that she had the ring appraised and later confronted jeweler Richie Rich who admitted that Randall knew about the ring’s value. Lala disclosed that on October 20, 2021, she changed her “Rand” tattoo to “bRand new” (11) to celebrate her newfound freedom. The reality star got her Rand tattoo on her arm in honor of her ex-fiancé in July 2020. Kent disclosed that she and Emmett are practicing parallel parenting because she chose to avoid communicating with him.

During a guesting in Harry Jowsey’s “Tap In” podcast, Lala revealed that intercourse with Randall was awful and unsatisfying. She also disclosed that Emmett tackled her to the ground when she confronted him about his Nashville cheating photos. Five of Lala’s friends attested to the alleged altercation, confirming that Lala told them about the incident after it happened. Kent further stated in a Heather McDonald interview that Randall is a master manipulator and that he repeatedly lied to her during their five-year relationship. Fans started to call out Lala as a pathological liar (12) for rewriting history after they pointed out that she only had glowing things to say about Emmett when they were still on good terms.

Before dating Randall Emmett, Kent was in a one-year relationship with her Vanderpump Rules co-star, James Kennedy. The pair met while working on the show and described their time together as casual. They did musical collaborations and were considered Pump Rules’ dynamic duo. After parting ways, the twosome became best friends.

Although Lala was a loner during high school, she had a boyfriend named Johnny, with whom she lost her virginity. She also confessed in her semi-autobiographical book, Give Them Lala, that she had an abortion (13) when she was 22. Kent noted that the fetus’s father was her former boyfriend, Carter. She also revealed that she decided to undergo the procedure because Carter refused to answer her calls to discuss their situation. Lala recalled that it was tough to get the abortion done even when her mother, Lisa Burningham, accompanied her to the local Planned Parenthood clinic in Utah. They also found out her grandmother passed away after getting her abortion.

Lala is not foreign or opposed to plastic surgery. She admits to having botox and filler injections all over her face. In an Instagram post on June 23, 2022, Lala revealed that she had a second breast augmentation (14) procedure and another one to get her left ear pinned back. Kent stated that she’s willing to go under the knife for cosmetic procedures because it makes her feel good about herself. 

On October 23, 2021, Lala Kent celebrated three years of sobriety. She credits her sober coach, sponsor, and late father with guiding her through her journey. Lala confessed that she went on a drinking spiral after her father’s death. Kent acknowledged that she didn’t want the kind of person she was becoming, so she sought help. Currently, Lala Kent maintains that her daughter, Ocean Kent Emmett, is her priority and wants to build a secure and comfortable future for her.
