Lala Kent posted a “soft launch” with Tom Schwartz on her Instagram Story on Monday night, further fueling rumors of a potential romance between them.
Amid production on the upcoming third season of The Valley, the 35-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum poked fun at the ongoing claims about the nature of her relationship with Tom, 42, as she was also seen reacting to her four-year-old daughter, Ocean, cussing in a vlog.
“Soft launch,” Lala wrote in the caption of a September 29 photo of her and Tom before adding, “Like so soft it’s not even real, type soft.”
Meanwhile, in a video shared on TikTok, Lala showcased a vlog her daughter was making. In the vlog, Ocean got caught calling her sister, 11-year-old Rylee, who Ocean’s dad, Randall Emmett, 54, shares with his ex-wife, Ambyr Childers, 37, “a b*tch.”
“My mom likes me, but Rylee, she’s a b*tch,” Ocean explained to viewers, prompting a quick reaction from Lala, who was in a nearby room.
“Did you just say the B-word?” she questioned the child.
“Yes,” Ocean confirmed.
“Why did you say that? Ocean!” Lala replied.
Then, after Ocean said she was “sorry” and revealed she was talking about Rylee, Lala asked who she had heard say the B-word.
“My dad,” Ocean answered.
“You’re not saying that word, Ocean. Am I gonna watch this video and you’re cussing on it? How many times have you cussed on this video?” Lala continued as Ocean insisted she had cursed just “one time.”
“You’re gonna be in big trouble. Look at me right now. You are never to say that word again, or you’re gonna lose privileges,” Lala warned, telling Ocean her comment was “not cool” as she left the room.
Once Lala was out of sight, Ocean returned to her vlog with an adorable statement.
“You guys, my mom got mad at me, and that made my feelings really hurt,” she shared.
