Look Back at Lala Kent and Daughter Ocean's Sweet Bond Before She Gives Birth to Baby No. 2
It's time to raise a glass to the No. 1 lady in Lala Kent's life: her daughter Ocean.
Since joining Vanderpump Rules during season four in 2015, fans have watched the Bravolebrity mature from a sharp-tongued young SUR-ver to a slightly less sharp-tongued, fiercely proud single mother of one.
Lala, who welcomed Ocean in March 2021 when she was still with former fiancé Randall Emmett, has since kept viewers updated on all of her first-born's major milestones, cutest mommy-daughter moments and, especially, the 3-year-old's heart-melting friendship with costar Scheana Shay's daughter Summer Moon—who was born just one month after Ocean—on social media.
Now, Lala is expecting her second child as she announced in March that she's pregnant after conceiving using a sperm donor.
"I feel so happy," Lala, 33, told E! News in April of her decision to expand her family. "I feel empowered and independent. It's just a life that I never knew I would have, but I'm so grateful for. It is wild. I'm like, 'Wow.'"
As for how Ocean feels about becoming a big sister?
"I didn't really tell her in some big way," the Give Them Lala podcast host, who is expecting another girl, shared earlier this year. "She wanted to sit on me and I was like, 'You have to be really careful because mom has a baby in her belly.' And she goes, 'Mommy has a baby in her belly?' I say 'yeah' and she says 'lemme see!'"
In honor of Lala's growing family, look back at her sweetest photos with Ocean over the years.

"I’ve been sober for 5 years today," Lala wrote on social media in October 2023. "On this day I replay my rock bottom moment. All the details of what happened on this day. Waking up, admitting I was powerless, and for the first time in many years seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m so grateful for this day"
"I will continue to work hard for my sobriety, & take a moment of silence for the alcoholic who still suffers," she added. "I see you- I love you. Thank you, God. Happy birthday to me!"

The duo share an adorable smooch.
A little 'Ocean goes to Newport' carousel," Lala shared in Summer 2023. "Made my heart so full watching O play where I used to play at her age. Newport holds a special place in my heart. My dad would have us set up on this beach at 7 am & we’d stay until the sun went down. Ocean is making him proud. A beach bum just like her Poppy."
