Lala Kent is PREGNANT! Vanderpump Rules star, 33, announces she’s expecting her second child after turning to sperm donor following ugly split from Randall Emmett

Lala Kent announced on Sunday that she is expecting her second child.

The Vanderpump Rules star, 33, surprised fans with the happy news in an adorable Instagram post with her daughter Ocean, almost three.

It showed her her growing pregnancy bump in unzipped jeans as Ocean stood smiling next to her.

“I’m expanding my group,” Lala wrote in the caption, adding, “Cheers to a new addition to my little family.”

Lala welcomed Ocean almost three years ago with ex-fiance Randall Emmett, 52. In January, she shared that she wanted to conceive her second child via IUI with the help of a sperm donor.

Lala reposted the announcement to her Stories, revealing that she would be talking about “all things pregnancy” on her podcast. She also added another photo to the post of her and Ocean using Mary Ruth Organics vitamins.

The reality TV siren – whose birth name is Lauren Elyse Burningham – opened up Cosmopolitan that she wants another child, but instead of using a male partner, she said she wants to do it all alone.

The red carpet wonder appears to still be partner-free after dumping her fiancé, controversial Hollywood producer Randall, in 2021 amid allegations he cheated.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that treats infertility.

IUI increases the chance of pregnancy by placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus, the organ in which a baby develops, the researchers said. Mayo Clinic.

Another name for the procedure is artificial insemination.

The Bravo star is doing motherhood her own way because she doesn’t want to wait for a partner after a nasty breakup with Randall.

She said that “finding a partner and falling in love with someone” doesn’t have much to do with giving birth to a child.

Kent added that she is doing well using a sperm donor. “It’s like shopping for your partner, but only to have a child, so there’s a lot involved,” she said.

‘But from the moment I found this donor, he just spoke to me. He felt like my baby daddy.”

Following the exciting announcement, her 2.3 million friends and followers shared how happy they were with the news.

Her Vanderpump Rules co-star Scheana Shay, 38, posted the announcement to her Stories, writing, “My heart is overjoyed today and every day with all of you in our lives. Congratulations @lalakent, this baby is already so lucky!!!!’

She also commented on the original post, writing, “IT’S ALL HAPPENING!!! I couldn’t be happier for you. I love you and your family so much!!!’

‘I can’t wait to meet this baby. I love you,” wrote former Vanderpump Rules co-star Stassi Schroeder.

Heather Dubrow and Lisa Barlow also congratulated the reality TV star.

In her Cosmopolitan interview, she said that the IUI process does not scare her.

“I would say the IUI process is mostly scientific sex,” Lala said.

“It’s the wildest thing in the world.”

The TV star added: “When my doctor explained it to me, I thought, oh, this is like being in the bedroom with someone, but I don’t have to wait for the big O. It’s just one and finished.

“Let’s just get it done, get the most valuable thing to come out of a man, which is his sperm, and I’ll be on my way.”

On why she does IUI: ‘I’m not betting on having my child.

“And I just don’t think that finding a partner and falling in love with someone has anything to do with giving birth to a child.”

Kent said she started thinking differently after Randall broke her heart.

“When my life took a completely different direction, I knew I wanted more children,” the star said while referencing her 2021 divorce from Randall.

Lala and her ex-partner Randall started dating in 2015.

Then she said, “It was such a strange thing that happened because everyone said to me, ‘You’re going to find someone.’

“And I started thinking, ‘Why does someone else have to be involved if I want more children?'” she explained.

On her advice to other women: “If you want children and are just waiting for ‘that person’ to come into your life, let’s talk about another route we can take.

‘It’s 2024! There are many ways to have a baby, and you don’t need a man to do it.’

The busy star also said she sometimes felt sorry for her child.

“I sometimes feel guilty because I had an easy time with Ocean,” Lala said.

‘My life is completely blown up, and yet I have a healthy, happy baby, which I am so grateful for. But you do struggle with the question: Why me?’
