Pregnant Lala Kent covered up her blossoming baby bump with a flowy sweatshirt while out and about in Los Angeles with her three-year-old daughter Ocean.
She announced her latest pregnancy earlier this month, posting a heartbreaking photo of Ocean beaming at Lala’s burgeoning belly.
Lala is still embroiled in a rancorous custody battle with Ocean’s father, film producer Randall Emmett, more than two years after their divorce.
Bruised by her experiences and determined not to “share my child again,” Lala opted for artificial insemination with a sperm donor.
As she prepares to welcome her next baby on her own, we spotted Vanderpump Rules while she was walking with her mom Lisa Burningham and little Ocean.

As she prepares to welcome her next baby on her own, we spotted the Vanderpump Rules while she was walking with her mom Lisa Burningham and little Ocean.
Lala hid her bump in a fashionably loose-fitting Adidas sweater and showed off her slim pins in leggings.
She accentuated her on-screen features with makeup and let her silky curtains of caramel hair flow from under her Yankees cap.
Little Ocean, who celebrated her third birthday last week, was seen frolicking down the street in front of her mother in a tiny tutu.
Lala recently threw a birthday party for Little Ocean and welcomed her old Vanderpump Rules co-stars Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay and Stassi Schroeder.
Stassi and her husband Beau Clark brought their three-year-old daughter Hartford, while Scheana and her husband Brock Davies arrived at the party with their two-year-old daughter Summer, so the birthday girl had company her own age.
Lala also invited Ambyr Childers – Randall’s ex-wife – as well as Ambyr and Randall’s daughters London and Rylee, who are Ocean’s half-sisters.
In a recent Amazon Live appearance, Lala shed some light on why she became pregnant via artificial insemination instead of doing it naturally.
“The best thing about my baby daddy is that he doesn’t exist. “I’ve been pretty open about the fact that I really wanted to have complete control over—I think not my child, but I wanted them around me all the time,” she explained.

“I’ve had a really hard time with my past and just with Ocean,” she noted, without mentioning Randall’s name. ‘For me, my child will never be up for grabs again.’
Lala and Randall split in 2021 amid a swirl of allegations that he cheated on her, and the resulting custody battle continues to rage.
By 2022, she was so disillusioned with the idea of co-parenting that she declared that she would have her next child only with a sperm donor.
“I’m not even going to try to do it any other way. I don’t want anyone else involved,” she said on Scheana’s podcast Scheananigans.
While there was always the chance that a friend would “come into my life,” she “wasn’t taking any chances” of raising another child with someone else.
‘There is such a good chance that it won’t work, especially where we live. Like, I’m so scarred by all this shit that’s happened in my life.”
