Lala Kent opened up about how her split from Randall Emmett took a toll on her physically.
“You remember, I was down to, like, 90 pounds,” Kent, 34, said to friend Brittany Cartwright of the aftermath of her split from Emmett, 53, during the Friday, March 14, episode of the “When Reality Hits” podcast. “I couldn’t eat. I was not well. That was the most horrendous time of my life.”
While Kent had moved forward following her tumultuous breakup, she confessed that she still gets “a pit” in her stomach when she visits places the pair used to frequent. However, Kent is still pushing through.
“I have to remind myself, ‘You’re OK,’” she reflected. “That time of your life is over and you’re on the other side.”
Not holding back. Following her split from Randall Emmett, Lala Kent has offered insight on how she is moving on from the relationship. Vanderpump Rules viewers, who were introduced to Kent in 2014, were kept in the dark when it came to the reality star’s dating life. The Give Them Lala author started seeing Emmett […]
Kent shared that she’s reached the point where she feels “good” now.
Kent and Emmett started dating in December 2015. Three years later, the director proposed to the Vanderpump Rules alum. While engaged, they welcomed daughter Ocean, now 4, in March 2021. Seven months after Ocean’s arrival, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair split.
After the breakup, Kent and Emmett entered a battle for custody over Ocean. Earlier this month, Kent announced that she and Emmett’s back and forth was over.
“After over three years, we have signed an agreement that is best for our daughter, Ocean. So I’m very, very happy about that,” she said during a March Amazon Live.
During the sitdown with Cartwright on Friday, The Valley star asked her friend for advice for coparenting amid her ongoing divorce from Jax Taylor. (Cartwright and Taylor share 3-year-old son Cruz.)
“I’ve been where you are right now. All the chicks are sending you messages, you’re in the thick of it,” Kent shared. “But I think my biggest piece of advice to you is No. 1: know this is not your forever. Take a moment to remember that this is going to pass.”
Kent also encouraged Cartwright to not let Taylor zap her energy levels and reminded her it would take time to get to where she needs to be.
Following many ups and downs in their relationship, Lala Kent and Randall Emmett‘s official split came seven months after the arrival of their daughter, Ocean. The pair took their romance public in 2018 after the director’s divorce from Ambyr Childers was finalized. Later that year, Kent and Emmett announced their engagement and went on to […]
“When you are just chill with everything they fade away a bit and they will be peaceful with you. I know it seems like it will never happen but you will get to that place,” she said. “And I think just remembering that it is not your forever. When it becomes too much, don’t engage with him. It’s OK to block him.”
Kent shared that going through a breakup with a person who you share a child with can be tricky since you can’t cut the person out of your life 100 percent.
“When you share a child with someone, you don’t have the luxury of going ‘Goodbye get the f— out of my life.’ You have to engage still,” she reflected. “It’s mental torture but you’re going to get to a place … it’s kind of like clockwork. You’re going to know exactly how the days are going to go, you know how to disengage, you know when to engage. It will just become your normal. Everything is always worse in your head.’
