Kent opened up about her single life in a September 2022 interview with People magazine. The Give Them Lala Beauty founder revealed that she is having a great time with her co-star Katie Maloney, who split from her husband, Tom Schwartz, in March 2022. The two co-stars were not always best friends. Early on, Kent body-shamed Maloney, but she has since apologized and said it’s her biggest regret from the show.
“We’re having the best time,” Kent said of her and Maloney today. “We call each other every morning to talk about what boys we’re talking to, who we think we’re going to give the boot to. We’re just enjoying being single together. I love that I have a little partner in crime.”
Kent made it clear that while she still believes her soulmate is out there, her focus is on her daughter, who turned one in March.
“I still believe in love,” Kent said. “I think my person is out there, but Ocean is on my mind 24/7. She’s the first person I think about when I think about going out and dating with this person. Yeah. They’re not just going to come into my world. Being a part of my world and my daughter’s life is a complete luxury that is not just given to anybody.”

She also revealed that she would be “leaning” on Maloney in the new season of “Vanderpump Rules,” which began filming over the summer.
“We’re both back living in apartments and we’re like, ‘It’s single girl summer,’” she said at the time.
