“Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent ended her engagement with Randall Emmett in the fall of 2021. The former couple shares an 11-month-old daughter named Ocean. 

During a March 2022 appearance on the “Tap In W/ Harry Jowsey” podcast, Kent shared some information about how she has been navigating being single and dating casually. She explained she “get[s] very territorial” when it comes to the people she is seeing. 

“Just this past weekend, I was hanging out with this dude and I walk inside but when I walk back out, there’s this girl who was clearly maneuvering her way to like sit on his lap and I was about ready to drag this h**. And like this isn’t my man. But like for now, I’m claiming him. Get your flat a** up and disengage,” shared Kent. 

The 31-year-old went on to say that she is only interested in a physical relationship for the time being. 

“I’m not looking for a relationship. I’m not looking for someone to like take me to dinner and wine and dine me, or Perrier and dine me, I should say. I’m just looking for a good time,” said the reality television personality. 

During the “Tap In W/ Harry Jowsey” interview, Kent shared her sobriety does not make it difficult for her to date. She stated that she does not have an issue with dating a person who drinks, as long as they are not dependent on alcohol. 

“If you are getting white girl wasted like all the time around me like we’re not connecting but like if I go on a date with a dude and he decides to have a f***ing whiskey or a glass of wine or even gets a good buzz on, like do you, like you’re a normie like go and live your best life. I don’t mind being around people who drink,” explained Kent.
