Lala Kent is known publicly as a reality TV star. But it seems that her role as “mom” is the one she takes most seriously. She often speaks about the challenges and joys of raising her daughter, Ocean, three, and sharing custody with ex-fiancé, Randall Emmett. The parents have been engaged in a bitter custody battle since their split in 2021, after the Vanderpump Rules star discovered Randall’s infidelity.
But just last week, Lala shared her excitement at being pregnant again. She previously spoke of wanting to give Ocean a sibling.
So now that the news is out, Lala is speaking about how Ocean is processing that she is to be a big sister.
Lala is planning the best way to transition the new baby into the family
Lala delved further into the topic during a recent Amazon Live.
“Kid’s a genius, you guys. She understands everything, which is a blessing and a curse,” Lala joked about her little one.
As with any family, the addition of a new child would prompt concerns about how the others will react. An only child suddenly has to share the resources, including their mother.
In Lala’s case, she was concerned how Ocean would feel about having to stay at “the other house” during the birth and recovery.
However, Ocean’s inquisitive and confident nature has Lala feeling like the transition will be smooth. Her strategy to avoid feelings of being “replaced” is telling Ocean that the new addition will be “her baby too.”
“She just seems like the type of kid who’s very curious and has a lot of questions, so I’m gonna shower her with a lot of love,” she explained.
Perhaps the harder transition will be for Lala. The VPR star admitted that she can’t imagine having enough love for both of her children.
“The amount of love I have for Ocean, I’m like, ‘How could I possibly love anybody or anything more than I love Ocean Kent?'” she concluded the discussion. “I remember giving birth to Ocean and being like ‘Whoah.’ I don’t even know how to process this kind of love.”
