Lala Kent gave birth to Ocean Kent Emmett in March of 2021. In an interview with PEOPLE, Lala called carrying this little Pisces princess "the most beautiful time" in her life. She's also wrote on Instagram that Ocean resembles her late father — who passed away in 2018 — noting that they have similar eyes and that he would be proud of how she's raising her daughter as a single mother.
Much like her mother, Ocean is already a fashion icon. She inspired her mother's baby and kids clothing line, Give Them Lala Baby. She's also following in her mother's friendship footsteps, as Ocean's baby BFFs with Summer Moon, Scheana Shay and Brock Davies' little girl. We can't wait to see how Lala's little continues to group up!

Ocean Kent Emmett is the daughter of Lala Kent and Randell Emmett. Lala and Randall were formerly engaged, but broke up in October 2021. Since their split, theLA Timesreported that Randall faced some allegations about inappropriate conduct, potentially offering parts in his projects for explicit favors. Since then, Lala's been especially distanced from
For her second child, Lala revealed on Give Them Lalathat she used IUI (intrauterine insemination) to conceive. While we don't know who the donor was, we can likely assume that she's not in a romantic relationship with them.
What has Lala said about IUI?
In true Lala fashion, she opened her IUI story on Give Them Lala like this: "Here's the weird thing about the way that I conceived this child..." She proceeded to explain how weird and delicate it was every time someone asked if the IUI "took" or not, especially during the first trimester.
She elaborated that she "prayed" a lot about whether or not to pursue IUI, and that we'll actually see a lot of her journey on Vanderpump Rules this season. As for her feelings about Ocean getting a sibling? Lala said, “It’s just like, it’s a best friend, but you’re also blood related, so it’s a bond like nothing else. And I feel like I would be doing her such a disservice by not giving her a sibling, like what I grew up with.” BRB while we count down the days for Ocean to officially become a big sister!
