Kent continued, “We’re not in our 20s anymore. We’re grown adults and we’re going through divorces, having children, it’s just it’s a different game. You guys will see the first person I hooked up with since my last relationship on ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ which was weird. I’m looking at cameras going ‘The boy is here, I want to take him to the bedroom… What am I doing right now?’ Out of body experience.”
