Lala Kent is pregnant with her second baby, just over a month after revealing her plans for intrauterine insemination (IUI).
“I’m expanding my capsule,” Kent, 33, captioned an Instagram photo of her daughter Ocean, who turns three this month, next to her exposed baby bump on Sunday, March 3.
The announcement comes just over a month after the Vanderpump Rules star revealed her plans to use intrauterine insemination (IUI) and a sperm donor.
“It’s a path I never thought I would take,” Kent said Cosmopolitan in an interview on January 30. “I really saw myself in the cookie-cutter relationship and starting a family, but now that the universe has other plans for me, I’m so grateful that this was an option.”
Kent and Ocean’s father, Randall Emmett, split in October 2021, seven months after Ocean’s birth. Although Kent has not yet found the right partner, she has known for a long time that she wanted more children.
“I definitely want to have another baby,” Kent said exclusively We weekly two months after she welcomed her daughter. “It doesn’t have to be right away, because I’m just so in love and I want to enjoy Ocean for as long as possible. It’s like, “The clock is ticking, you better have another baby.”
In July 2022, Kent shared with Us that she had no intention of waiting for a co-parent. “The short answer to your question is: yes, I would like more children. I don’t want more baby daddies, but I do want more children,” she said at the time. “[A sperm donor] for me it’s the only option I would consider. I’m a little wary of guns at the moment.”
In her January interview, Kent said Cosmos that she found a donor with whom she felt connected. “From the moment I found this donor, he just spoke to me,” she explained. “He felt like my baby daddy. So that’s where we’re at. As soon as I can continue with the IUI, then we are there.”
The Bravo star added that she wanted to be open about her experience trying to get pregnant while single to help others who are in a similar situation.
“I felt the need to talk about it because there are women in the world who are waiting for a man to come into the picture and just long for children even though there is another way to get pregnant,” Kent said. . “If you want children and are just waiting for ‘that person’ to come into your life, let’s talk about another route we can take.”
