VPR’s Lala Kent Shares Heartbreaking Update on Ariana Madix Friendship

As I delve into this heartwarming narrative, it seems that the vibrant ladies of Vanderpump Rules are embracing the joyous role of motherhood with grace and gusto! Lala Kent, a woman who has weathered the storms of reality TV, is now navigating the waves of motherhood with her darling daughter, Ocean.


It appears that Lala Kent and Ariana Madix have decided to put a permanent halt on their friendship.

Lala recently disclosed the current state of their relationship following the dramatic ending of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 11 and the reunion that followed earlier this year.

In simple terms, the host of the “Give Them Lala” podcast stated during an appearance on the October 22nd episode of Jeff Lewis Live that there’s no possibility for reconciliation between them, as it is something that will never occur.

Regarding speculation about another season of the Bravo series, Lala has hinted that it might not continue due to the severe damage caused by the Tom Sandoval and Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ 2023 cheating scandal to the core friendship group.

Lala concluded, “In essence, it seems like we’ve reached the end of our tale, correct? The culprits here are undeniably Sandoval and Raquel. Just wanted to make that clear, Ariana. Regardless, I’ll forever be a supporter of yours.

And despite their falling out, Lala only wishes Ariana well in her post-VPR success.

“She was absolutely fantastic on Broadway,” she noted of the Chicago star. “She, I heard, killed it on Love Island. I’ve never watched the show and certainly didn’t start watching it because we’re not gonna. But I have no ill feelings about anybody on the show and I think that’s what it feels for the first time. I just feel peace.”

Lala’s latest statement arrives four months following her critique of the Love Island USA host, who declined to collaborate with her ex, Tom, during the Bravo series’ last season.

The 33-year-old expressed on the June 10 episode of the Two Ts in a Podcast, “I prefer to associate with women who are diligent and possess fascinating things. I’ve consistently sought to be encouraging towards them. Not just tried, but desired to encourage them. These are my friends. When Ariana began receiving chances beyond Vanderpump Rules, that’s fantastic for everyone involved.

Lala also called out Ariana focusing more of her time on career opportunities outside VPR.

She went on to say, “The program attained heights it wouldn’t have without her, and although it was dreadful, I didn’t resent the chance she was seizing beyond the show. What truly irked me is now a touch of drama is creeping into my work environment, which I’ve been dedicated to for eight years. It’s challenging when people believe they overshadow the show.

As uncertainty surrounds the future of “Vanderpump Rules”, Lala is making the most of her extra time by spending more quality moments with her daughters, Ocean (age 3) and newborn Sosa.

5 years ago today, Lala posted on social media: “I’ve stayed sober today. Today, I recall my rock-bottom moment vividly. The events that unfolded, waking up, realizing my powerlessness, and for the first time in a long while, seeing hope at the end of the tunnel. I am incredibly grateful for this day.

She stated, “I’ll keep putting in effort towards staying sober, and I observe a moment of quiet reflection for those struggling with alcoholism. To them, I see you – I care for you deeply. Thank you, God. Today marks my birthday.

Lala shared an adorable snapshot of Ocean and a furry friend.

In her recent vacation post on the Give Them Lala podcast, she shared that she learned Aloha is more than just a greeting, it’s a lifestyle. She also expressed gratitude for the chance to experience the island’s beauty, which brought renewal and happiness to everyone. They are deeply appreciative.

In my own words, as a lifestyle guide, I’d say: “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for bringing me into existence, Mom. On this special occasion of Mother’s Day, I salute all the incredible women out there embracing the role of a mother. I see you, every day, navigating through challenges with grace and strength. It may not always be easy, but together, we make it work. Today is your day to shine.

In Summer 2023, Lala expressed, “Ocean headed to Newport in a tiny carousel,” she said. “Seeing O play at the same place where I used to play at her age filled my heart with joy. Newport carries a deep sentiment for me. My father would have us on this beach by 7 am and we wouldn’t leave until the sun set. Ocean is making him proud, just like her Poppy, who was also a beach enthusiast.
