Lala Kent is in “early talks” to reunite with Vanderpump Rules alumni Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute on The Valley, it is claimed.
Brittany, Jax and Kristen are among the main stars of The Valley, which follows their transition from busy city life to the comfort of the suburbs.
Now it is thought Lala, 33, who is currently pregnant with her second daughter, is considering joining them on the reality show.
If she becomes part of The Valley, she will remain a member of Vanderpump Rules, a source said Page six is ‘her home’. It’s not one or the other.’
Meanwhile, Bravo declined to confirm any casting decisions for The Valley, which has not yet been officially renewed for season two.

“Lala is in early discussions to join The Valley. She’s very connected to that cast. Those girls are her very good friends and mother crew,” a source explains.
Brittany and Jax, who announced their divorce in February shortly before The Valley premiered, have a three-year-old son together named Cruz.
Meanwhile, Kristen is also in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend Luke Broderick, with whom she is trying to start a family.
Former Miss USA Nia Sanchez and her husband Danny Booko are also at The Valley, as are Beverly Hills real estate agents Jesse and Michelle Lally.
A couple named Jason and Janet Caperna are also part of the cast, as are two friends named Zach Wickham and Jasmine Goode.
The Vanderpump Rules alumni were already friends with the other stars of The Valley before they started creating the new show, per Entertainment tonight.
Rumors of Lala’s negotiations for The Valley come after she was criticized for being furious with Ariana Madix during this week’s Vanderpump Rules finale.
Cast members and producers became frustrated with what Lala described as Ariana’s refusal to film with her ex Tom Sandoval.

Vanderpump Rules fans came to Ariana’s defense, with one writing, “Why would you be so angry at someone who protects your peace from someone who traumatized you so much?!”
In March 2023, Ariana left Tom after a nine-year relationship when she learned he was having an affair with her friend Rachel Leviss, then known as Raquel.
The tempestuous aftermath of ‘Scandoval’ continued throughout the season, culminating in a fiery outburst from Ariana in the finale.
When Tom approached her and tried to apologize, Ariana refused to listen to him, stating that he “doesn’t deserve to talk to me.”
In a confessional, she explained, “Whatever Tom is trying to get for me, it’s not for me, it’s for him. I’m the final boss in his video game of redemption and because he can’t reach the final boss, he’s fucking angry.”
Lala eventually became furious with Ariana for not filming with Tom, pointing out that the two exes could still live in the same house.
‘This happened to her. The world gathered around her. She thinks she’s Beyoncé now,” Lala sneered. ‘It’s nonsense that she can’t film with someone because she stays under the same roof. It is much. It’s a lot that she says, “Don’t f*** with Tom Sandoval…but I’m going to sleep in Tom Sandoval’s hallway.”
She added, “I get it, he fucking cheated. You really did something damn nice. It was strange how you looked us all in the eyes and said a lot.”
However, she noted that Tom “didn’t kill anyone” and marveled: “I’ve never known anyone in my life to be deceived and suddenly become God.”
She announced her latest pregnancy last month and posted a heartbreaking photo of her three-year-old daughter Ocean, beaming at her burgeoning belly
“I’ll be honest about Ariana,” Lala said in a confessional. “She works her way through every damn season. And we’re asking you to have one conversation with Tom Sandoval, the man you’ve shoved down our throats all these years.”
The reality TV bombshell added: “That guy, who you still live with – we ask you to have one conversation and you can’t do that?”
Vanderpump Rules fans came to Ariana’s defense and one person wrote on
The same user made a pointed reference to Lala’s ex Randall Emmett, who was accused of cheating on her: “Should we bring back Randall?”
Another X commenter slammed both Lala and Scheana Shay, calling them “truly the worst friends” for taking issue with Ariana’s attitude.
Last month, she posted a sweet video from her gender reveal party, showing the exact moment she found out she was having a daughter
“I hope you disloyal losers get what Ariana did to you, and your fake friends speak out about an asshole like Sandoval, who is a woman-hating pig and an abusive human being,” the outraged viewer continued. “You deserve each other.”
Lala announced her latest pregnancy in March, posting a heartbreaking photo of her three-year-old daughter Ocean, beaming at her burgeoning belly.
More than two years after their divorce, she is still embroiled in a rancorous custody battle with Ocean’s father, film producer Randall Emmett.
Bruised by her experiences and determined not to “share my child anymore,” Lala opted for artificial insemination with a sperm donor.
