Lala Kent Wants to ‘Expand’ Her Family as a Single Mom ‘Without a Man Involved’ (Exclusive)

Lala Kent doesn't need a man to help make her dreams come true.

While raising 2-year-old daughter Ocean, the Vanderpump Rules star has thought about having another child. But instead of waiting for the perfect partner to come along, Kent is open to all of her options. 

"There is no place for a man," she exclusively shares with The Messenger while partnering with Ninja Thirsti. "I would like to expand my family and I would like to not have a man be part of that. I know that sounds very strange but I would like to build an empire and create a family without a man involved."

One possible avenue to explore is freezing her eggs. Kent's friends and co-stars Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix have both been open about their experiences with the process.

As of now, Kent is "trying to decide what my family structure will look like."

"Once I have nailed that down, then I'll just follow the yellow brick road whatever it leads me to," she adds. "There are so many different ways that you can expand your family. You choose the avenue to do so. Then hopefully we'll have a new little baby in the mix."

Until then, Kent — who recently returned to Washington, D.C. in support of the Humane Cosmetics Act — is aiming to be the best, hands-on mother she can be to her daughter while also using her Bravo platform for good.

Approaching five years of sobriety, the Give Them Lala Beauty founder recently hosted the Brent Shapiro Foundation's Summer Spectacular, which aims to create awareness of the dangers of drug addiction. 

When comparing her life today to what it was like 10 years ago, Kent is more than proud of how far she's come.  

"The biggest difference is me knowing what I want," she says. "I know how to get there. I have tools that I didn't have when I was drinking or when I was younger. I don't have time. I look at my time as a luxury where I didn't look at it that way before. I don't care who you are or what you do or what you have. If you do not add to my world, you can kick rocks because I got places to go."

One tool making life a little easier is her Ninja Thirsti. As a huge fan of sparkling water, Kent was looking for a machine that would help quench her thirst while also benefiting the environment. Now, she's found something that can create thousands of still and sparkling drinks at the touch of a button.

"This is what I've been searching for," she explains. "I can drink my sparkling water, just plain and simple. I can control the carbonation on top of what I want. There are 20 different flavors for me to choose from but two compartments so I actually can make any concoction I want. This is the machine I've been looking for."
