Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent recently opened up about her feelings regarding former costar Stassi Schroeder's second pregnancy announcement. Kent admitted to feeling a bit disappointed upon finding out about the news through social media but shared that the situation ultimately brought them closer as friends.
During an episode of her 'Give Them Lala' podcast, Kent recounted a dinner where Schroeder revealed her pregnancy and apologized for not informing Kent personally. Kent expressed her initial hurt but clarified that she understood the sensitivity of pregnancy announcements and respected Schroeder's choice in sharing the news.
Schroeder, who already has a daughter named Hartford with husband Beau Clark, announced her second pregnancy in March 2023. Kent, who is currently expecting her second child and shares a daughter named Ocean with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, shared her perspective on choosing to conceive via intrauterine insemination (IUI) and a sperm donor.
Explaining her decision to go this route, Kent emphasized her desire for full autonomy over her child and the absence of a traditional 'baby daddy' figure in her life. She expressed her firm stance on wanting sole ownership of her child and the importance of having that certainty.
Despite the initial disappointment over the pregnancy announcement, Kent and Schroeder's friendship deepened following their candid conversation. Kent highlighted the importance of communication and understanding in navigating potentially awkward situations, ultimately leading to a stronger bond between the two.
