Lala Kent is in ‘early talks’ to reunite with Vanderpump Rules alumni Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute on The Valley, it is claimed.
Brittany, Jax and Kristen are among the main stars of The Valley, which is about their transition from high-octane city life to the comfort of the suburbs.
Now Lala, 33, who is currently pregnant with her second daughter, is thought to be considering joining them on the reality show.
If she does become part of The Valley, she will remain on Vanderpump Rules, which a source told Page Six is ‘her home. It’s not one or the other.’
Meanwhile Bravo declined to confirm any casting decisions for The Valley, which has not been officially renewed for season two yet.

‘Lala is in early talks to join The Valley. She is very connected with that cast. Those girls are her very good friends and mom crew,’ a source explained.
Brittany and Jax, who announced their separation in February shortly before The Valley premiered, are co-parenting a three-year-old son called Cruz.
Meanwhile Kristen is also in a longtime relationship with her beau Luke Broderick, with whom she has been trying to start a family.
Former Miss USA Nia Sanchez and her husband Danny Booko are also on The Valley, as well as Beverly Hills realtors Jesse and Michelle Lally.
A couple called Jason and Janet Caperna are also part of the cast, as well as two pals called Zach Wickham and Jasmine Goode.
The Vanderpump Rules alumni were already friends with the other stars of The Valley before they began making the new show, per Entertainment Tonight.
Rumors of Lala’s negotiations for The Valley come after she received backlash for raging at Ariana Madix on this week’s Vanderpump Rules finale.
Cast members and producers were seen getting frustrated with what Lala described as Ariana’s ‘bulls***’ refusal to film with her ex Tom Sandoval.

Vanderpump Rules fans sprang to Ariana’s defense, with one writing: ‘Why would you be so mad about someone protecting your peace from someone who traumatized you like that?!’
In March 2023, Ariana left Tom after a nine-year relationship when she learned he was having an affair with her friend Rachel Leviss, then known as Raquel.
The roiling fallout of ‘Scandoval’ has continued through the latest season, culminating in a fiery outburst from Ariana on the finale.
When Tom approached her and tried to apologize, Ariana refused to hear him out, declaring that he ‘does not deserve to speak to me.’
In a confessional, she explained: ‘Whatever it is that Tom is trying to get for me, it’s not for me, it’s for him. I am the final boss in his video game of redemption and because he can’t get to the final boss, he’s f***ing pissed.’
Lala ultimately became incensed at Ariana for not filming with Tom – pointing out that the two exes were still able to live in the same house.
‘This happened to her. The world rallied around her. She now thinks she is Beyoncé,’ Lala sneered. ‘It’s bulls*** that she can’t film with someone because she stays under the same roof. It’s a lot. It’s a lot that she’s saying: “Don’t f*** with Tom Sandoval…but, I’m gonna sleep down the hall from Tom Sandoval.”‘
She added: ‘I get it, he f***ing cheated. You did a really f***ing s***y thing. It was weird how you looked us all in the eye and said a lot of s***.’
However she noted Tom ‘did not kill somebody,’ marveling: ‘I never in my life experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God.’
She announced her latest pregnancy last month, posting a heart-melting snap of her three-year-old daughter Ocean beaming up at her burgeoning belly
‘I’m going to be real about Ariana,’ Lala doubled down in a confessional. ‘She coasts through every single f***ing season. And we are asking you to have one conversation with Tom Sandoval – the guy you shoved down our throats for so many years.’
The reality TV bombshell added: ‘That guy, who you still live with – we are asking you to have one conversation and you can’t do that?’
Vanderpump Rules fans sprang to Ariana’s defense, with one writing on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Why would you be so mad about someone protecting your peace from someone who traumatized you like that?!’
The same user made a pointed reference to Lala’s ex Randall Emmett, who was accused of cheating on her: ‘Should we bring Randall back?’
Another X commentator denounced both Lala and Scheana Shay, calling them ‘truly the worst friends’ for taking objection to Ariana’s attitude.
Last month, she posted a sweet video from her gender reveal party showing the exact moment she discovered she was having a daughter
‘Hope you disloyal losers get to have what was done to Ariana DONE TO YOU then have yer fake pals boo hoo over a scumbag like Sandoval who’s a misogynist pig and a gross human,’ the outraged viewer continued. ‘Yall deserve each other.’
Lala announced her latest pregnancy in March, posting a heart-melting snap of her three-year-old daughter Ocean beaming up at her burgeoning belly.
She 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.
