Is Lala Kent adding to her family? 'Vanderpump Rules' star discloses undergoing IUI for second child
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lala Kent is all set to embrace motherhood once again! In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the 'Vanderpump Rules' star revealed that she has initiated the process of conceiving a second baby through intrauterine insemination (IUI), a treatment where sperm is surgically placed in the uterus to fertilize an egg.
Lala said, “It’s a road that I never thought I would be going down. I really saw myself in the cookie-cutter relationship and creating a family, but now that the universe has other plans for me, I’m so grateful this was an option.” During the conversation with the media outlet, the reality TV star reflected on her experience, saying, "It was such a strange thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, 'You're going to find somebody.' And I got to thinking, 'Why does my wanting more children need to involve another person?'"
For Lala, IUI is described as "very much having scientific sex. It's the most wild thing in the world. When my doctor was explaining it to me, I was like, 'Oh, this is just like I am in the bedroom with someone, but I don't have to wait for the big O.' It's just one and done." She continued, saying, "Like, let's just get it done, get the most valuable thing that comes out of a man, which is his sperm, and I'll be on my way." Kent emphasized, “It’s 2024! There are many ways to have a baby, and you don’t need a man to do it.”
Following this revelation, netizens shared their perspectives on Kent's decision to undergo IUI.
One social media user wrote, "Maybe the kid wants a father."
Another user expressed, "That child needs a father. This is sad."
A user chimed in, "Maybe baby wants a dad” literally shut up that baby can have love in any kind of form without a father. other family figures exist ya know."
In response, another user added, "Maybe the child needs a father."
A user went on to say, "Her poor kids."

The 33-year-old TV personality gave birth to her baby girl in March 2021. However, her pregnancy journey was far from easy, marked by a challenging period when she began bleeding at 6 weeks pregnant.
In February 2021, Lala shared on Instagram, “For the next three weeks, I would continue to randomly bleed and each time, I would call my OB and be beside myself."She added, "Although bleeding during pregnancy isn’t normal, it is common. My bleeding was the result of a clot. I was put on bed rest until it was gone. The next appointment, there was growth — not much, but some." Kent continued, "After a few weeks, my doctors concluded that this was a placenta problem, not a kid problem. Although we never want any problem, this was a relief.”
