On March 3, Lala Kent announced her latest pregnancy via Instagram. In the post’s caption, she wrote, “I’m expanding my pod.” She posed with her current daughter, Ocean, next to her growing baby bump.
Fans saw as early as the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 trailer that Lala was looking to have another child. She expressed that she was looking for a sperm donor, which made sense considering how her relationship with Ocean’s father, Randall Emmett, ended.
With so much going on in Lala’s life, a fan might wonder how she does it all. How will she have the time and ability to take care of two children on top of everything else she does day-to-day, week-to-week? Well, Lala isn’t alone.
Lala compares her family to orcas
During an Amazon Live, Lala admitted to fans, “I never expected to be raising not one but two children in the type of household that I’m in.”
As for the parenting situation with her coming child, she shared, “I always say I’m raising my daughter Ocean, and I’ll be raising this new baby with my mom.” Lala added, “My mom is a tremendous help, and she helps co-parent.”
She broke down her parenting circumstances by saying, “But I have a pod around me. I say we’re like a pod of orcas. No one ever leaves the pod. We just keep adding to it. And it may not look normal to most people, but Ocean and this child, they’re going to be surrounded by so much love.” The comment was in line with her post where she said she was expanding her pod.
As for whether a father would enter the equation one day, Lala said, “I think that the word ‘dad’ is an honor and privilege, and that word is not something that should be handed out. And there are so many men in Ocean’s life that will be in this baby’s life that truly have taken on the role of a dad.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 11 continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
