Lala Kent responded perfectly to critics of her bold pregnancy photos. On Wednesday, April 17, the 33-year-old took to Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself flaunting her baby bump in just a towel after a shower. She wrote, "Keep clutching your pearls, Jans."

She then said, "Get ready for three bundles of joy coming your way in the next five months. Don't freak out too much!"

Kent has been embracing her pregnancy style with enthusiasm. At Coachella recently, the Vanderpump Rules star impressed everyone with a daring black bodysuit and a cute baby blue dress.

After previously discussing her plans to have another child, Kent announced in January that she was going through the process of intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Lala Kent shared with Cosmopolitan that she never imagined she would be on this journey. She had always pictured herself in a traditional relationship, building a family. However, she expressed gratitude for the unexpected path the universe has set her on.

Kent, who is already a mom to her 3-year-old daughter Ocean with her ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, announced her pregnancy two months later. She shared a sweet Instagram photo of Ocean looking at her baby bump with the caption, “I’m expanding my pod.” Kent revealed that she is expecting a baby girl.

The reality star has stood by her choice to have more children even without a partner, defending her decision in the past.

During a "Scheananigans" podcast episode in November 2022, she expressed her decision not to explore using a sperm donor. She mentioned her reluctance to involve another person in the process, citing the high likelihood of it not working out, particularly in their current location. She explained that she is hesitant to take the risk due to past experiences that have left her feeling deeply affected.

Kent shared her experience of selecting a sperm donor in season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. In one episode aired in April, she asked her costars to help her decide among her top three choices for the father.

Describing one of the potential donors, Kent mentioned, "He stands tall at 6’2, has a fit and athletic physique, and possesses a kind, polite, and friendly personality. He exudes a gentle demeanor," portraying him as a strong contender for the role.

Scheana Shay highlighted some key qualities, mentioning that his favorite song is ‘Grown Ocean’ and his favorite animal is a lion. With that, let’s wrap things up and shift our focus to Lala’s situation.

Offscreen, Kent explained her priorities when selecting a donor on her “Give Them Lala” podcast recently. She emphasized that looks weren’t a major factor for her. Genetics can be unpredictable, as siblings can look very different from each other. However, she did inquire about the donor's appearance.

Kent expressed her desire to reduce the number of questions that may arise. She mentioned that she hoped for her baby to resemble her, her mother, and Ocean. Kent emphasized the importance of creating a seamless transition for her child into the world. She highlighted that she wanted to avoid any potential hardships for her child, recognizing that the world can already be challenging even in a traditional family setting. Kent's priority is to ensure a smooth and loving environment for her child.
