Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent Is Pregnant With Baby No. 2

Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent is pregnant!

The author recently shared the news on Instagram. “I’m expanding my pod. A @maryruthorganics cheers to a new addition to my little family,” she captioned a photo of her daughter, her bump and prenatal supplement.

Just over a month ago the reality TV star opened up to Cosmopolitan about her plan to take her family’s future into her own hands with intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a treatment where sperm is surgically placed in a uterus to fertilize an egg.

As actress and model, Kent has been through quite the series of ups and downs over the past few years and recently decided she would go through the process single with a donor. “I had my life go in a very different direction, I knew I wanted more kids,” the mother to 2-year-old Ocean shared. “It was such a strange thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, ‘You’re going to find somebody.’ And I got to thinking, Why does my wanting more children need to involve another person? I think if there’s a will, there’s a way. I knew a donor was an option, and I knew IUI was an option.”

Kent hopes her journey inspires others to not wait to chase after their dreams of a family. “If you want children and are only waiting for “that person” to come into your life, let’s talk about a different route that we can take. It’s 2024! There are many ways to have a baby, and you don’t need a man to do it.”

Kent, who picked her donor via the California Cryobank, also wanted to clear away the stigma on choosing a donor and the donation process itself. “I feel like you think of a sperm donor and you’re like, Oh, they were hard up for cash. I get emotional talking about it because this donor has changed my life. These men who come in and donate, whatever the reason, are giving these people the greatest gift,” she said.

During the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules debuting January 30, Kent says that viewers will get an inside look into how she’s tried to make what can feel like a “cold, scientific process” into a “personal,” “beautiful” and “warm” experience.

“It’s definitely not the same as finding a man and being in a whirlwind romance and creating a child, but if you can find a way to make it warm and bring your family or your friends into it, it can make it an equally incredible experience,” she shared.

Our best to Kent as she welcomes baby number two!
