Reality TV star Lala Kent is no stranger to drama, especially as one of the standout cast members of Vanderpump Rules. But when it comes to her daughter, Ocean, Lala is treading carefully about how much of her past on the show she wants to share. In a recent interview, Lala got candid about her feelings regarding Ocean eventually watching the hit Bravo series.
“It’s a conversation I’ve had with myself over and over,” Lala admitted. “I know the day will come when Ocean gets curious about what Mommy did before she was born.”
Vanderpump Rules is known for its explosive fights, wild partying, and love triangles—a recipe for compelling TV but not exactly the legacy every parent wants to showcase. Lala, who joined the show in 2015, has had her fair share of headline-making moments, from fiery confrontations to deeply personal confessions.
However, the now-sober entrepreneur and mother of one says she’s in a completely different place in her life. “I’m proud of the growth I’ve had. I’m not the same person I was when I started the show,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean I’m ready for Ocean to see every part of it.”
Lala explained that while she doesn’t regret her time on the series, she plans to approach the topic with honesty and grace when the time comes. “I’ll tell her the truth—that I made mistakes, that I learned, and that life is all about evolving. But I’ll also explain that some of those moments were for entertainment, not who I am today.”
Fans have applauded Lala for her transparency about motherhood and sobriety, and her reflections about Vanderpump Rules are no exception. “Ocean is my world,” she said with a smile. “If watching my journey helps her see how far I’ve come, then maybe it’s not such a bad thing after all.”
For now, Lala is focusing on raising her daughter in a drama-free environment. She’s also busy managing her beauty brand and podcast, proving that her life post-Vanderpump Rules is just as captivating as her time on-screen.
Would Ocean ever follow in her mom’s reality TV footsteps? Lala chuckled at the idea. “Let’s hope she sticks to books and business instead!”
