Pregnant Lala Kent covered up her blossoming baby bump with a flowy sweatshirt while out and about in Los Angeles with her three-year-old daughter Ocean.
She announced her latest pregnancy earlier this month, posting a heart-melting snap of Ocean beaming up at Lala’s burgeoning belly.
Lala is still locked in a rancorous custody battle with Ocean’s father, movie producer Randall Emmett, more than two years after their split.
Bruised by her experiences and determined not to ‘share my child again,’ Lala opted for artificial insemination with a sperm donor.
Now, as she prepares to welcome her next baby on her own, the Vanderpump Rules was seen enjoying a stroll with her mother Lisa Burningham and little Ocean.

Lala concealed her bump in a fashionably loose-fitted Adidas sweater, playing up her slender pins in a pair of leggings.
She accentuated her screen siren features with makeup and let her silky curtains of caramel hair flow free from under her Yankees cap.
Little Ocean, who celebrated her third birthday just last week, was seen frolicking down the street in front of her mother in a little tutu.
Lala recently threw a birthday party for little Ocean and welcomed her old Vanderpump Rules co-stars Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay and Stassi Schroeder.
Stassi and her husband Beau Clark brought their three-year-old daughter Hartford, while Scheana and her husband Brock Davies arrived at the party with their two-year-old daughter Summer, ensuring the birthday girl had company her own age.
Lala also invited Ambyr Childers – Randall’s ex-wife – as well as Ambyr and Randall’s daughters London and Rylee, who are Ocean’s half-sisters.
In a recent Amazon Live appearance, Lala shed some light on why she conceived via artificial insemination rather than doing so naturally.
‘The best part about my baby daddy is that he does not exist. I have been pretty open about wanting to really have full control of – I guess not my child, but having them around me all the time,’ she explained.

‘I went through a really hard time with my past and just with Ocean,’ she noted without mention Randall’s name. ‘For me, my child will never be up for grabs again.’
Lala and Randall broke up in 2021 amid a swirl of allegations that he had cheated on her, and the consequent custody battle is still thundering ahead.
By 2022 she was so disillusioned with the idea of co-parenting that she declared she would only have her next child with a sperm donor.
‘I will not even attempt to try and do it a different way. I don’t want another person involved,’ she said on Scheana’s podcast Scheananigans.
Although there was always the chance a boyfriend could ‘come into my life,’ she was ‘not taking a chance’ on raising a child with someone else again.
‘There’s such a high chance of it not working out, especially where we live. Like, I am so scarred from all of this s*** that has happened in my life.’
