Lala Kent is thinking about her next chapter now that it's been announced that Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules will feature a cast of new SURvers.
The former SUR hostess, who is a mom to daughters Ocean Kent Emmett and Sosa Kent, opened up about her next career steps in a December 2024 chat with Parade.
"Everything that I want has shifted," she said about her priorities with her Give Them Lala brand at the moment. "It's right now about getting the brand where it needs to be, having it ring true to who I am right now."
Though her Vanderpump Rules days are behind her, her goals haven't changed.
"What has stuck is, I want an empire, and I won't stop until I have that," she continued.
Lala Kent looks back on Vanderpump Rules
Elsewhere in her chat with the outlet, Lala reflected on her time on the show (she began appearing back in Season 4). She noted that she felt "very at peace" with the decision to bring new SURvers into the mix.
"I am feeling extremely grateful for that chapter in my life," Lala shared. "Vanderpump Rules catapulted me into doing what I love to do. It has brought so much opportunity, and I don't think it was any secret after that finale episode that it just felt very final."
The Give Them Lala podcast host may not have always gotten along with her castmates, but she's confident that they'll all continue to take on new projects.
"I am proud of my cast," she said. "It doesn't last forever and you can't have all of your eggs in one basket. I feel like the Vanderpump Rules cast really did a good job of setting themselves up and I don't think this is the last you will see of these people."
Where Lala Kent stands with the Vanderpump Rules cast today
The mom of two is in a good place with former castmates Scheana Shay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Tom Schwartz, she revealed on the November 19 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
She explained why she's not looking to reconcile any of her other Vanderpump Rules friendships on the November 29 episode of Scheana's podcast, Scheananigans.
"I’ve got my circle right where I want it to be," Lala said. "It’s not that I for some reason am forgetting all of the bad stuff that happened. I’m sure other people have not. But I don’t think I need to reach out to anybody. I’m happy in the space that I’m in."
