Tom Schwartz & Lala Kent Address the Dating Rumors Head-On

The Bravo universe has been buzzing recently with rumors that former “Vanderpump Rules” stars Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent are dating. Specifically, things escalated after Schwartz appeared on Kent’s podcast, “Give Them Lala.”

And then, a Bravo gossip account “Bravo and Cocktails,” said that an anonymous source came forward on June 24 through social media.

“They are actually together. I see them all the time at the bistro I work at and he’s always picking up the bill. They just need to come out and be HONEST!,” the tip read.

However, Kent joined Schwartz on the latest episode of his Detox Retox podcast, and they addressed the rumors.

“It’s the hard launch of Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent! We can barely type that without laughing,” the episode description read. “Lala weighs in on ‘dating Schwartzy…’

So, what did the two have to say about all of this?

Kent began by reading the headline aloud that confirmed the two were dating, but as she said the words, she couldn’t hold back her laugh. The report she quoted even claimed the two were living together.

“If it’s on the internet, it’s true,” Schwartz joked. “Is this a hard launch? This is a hard launch.”

Kent then pointed out that the photo they chose of her was when she was pregnant, so it “looks like I’m also carrying your baby.”

Schwartz revealed that he has received a lot of texts asking if these rumors are true. And it didn’t help that Kent said that since Schwartz appeared on her podcast, she has had some dreams about him.

But, while the two continued their flirty banter and funny jokes, it was clear that they are just friends.

Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent Dating Would Have Been Wild Considering This Vanderpump Rules Moment

When Kent first joined the cast of the popular Bravo show, she and Schwartz’s ex-wife Katie Maloney did not get off to the best start. And things continued to decline, specifically reaching a breaking point in Season 5.

During the reunion, Maloney accused Kent of saying that she could easily seduce Schwartz, despite him having just married Maloney.

So… imagine what it would mean if they got together after all this time.
