'VanderPump Rules’: Lala Kent and Randall Emmett's love was a rollercoaster ride before they called off wedding
'VanderPump Rules' star Lala Kent took to her Instagram to reveal that her wedding to fiance Randall Emmett has been canceled amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
The post featured Kent and Emmett kissing, as Kent said April 18 would have been her wedding day. The wedding was postponed as Los Angeles and California, were in lockdown to stop the spread of the deadly virus. The emotional caption read, "Today would be the day I’d be heading to our wedding location to start prepping and getting settled in with my mama and mama-in-law to-be. I know people have been affected by this in much bigger ways. I do feel sad today, though. I haven’t experienced anything that I should have. Bachelorette party, bridal shower. It’s just all very weird. I know I’ll get to, but my heart was set on April 18th. I hope it rains that day. Then I’ll be saying 'thank god we didn’t get married today'. That would make me feel better.
The fact that Kent was dating a rich man wasn't hidden when she first made her debut on 'VanderPump Rules' as a hostess at SUR. She had access to cars and jets as well. Who was the man behind the scenes? Emmett, of course. Kent had revealed to Cosmpolitan on how the duo met, which seems to have been at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant.
"So, we actually met at Sur. How crazy is that?! He came in for a Christmas dinner and sent his assistant up to me and asked me if he could get my manager’s contact info because he wanted me in a film. And so then we started that whole process, I booked the film and then we just had this instant connection. It was my first season of Vanderpump. I think only like, three episodes had aired of Season 4. I was like, OK, I’m going to let my guard down. Whatever’s happening, I like it, you know? He makes me laugh. Give it a try. And we’ve been together almost three years now," said Kent.
Things weren't always that peachy though, especially if you follow the show. In the seventh season of 'VanderPump Rules', the duo hit a bit of hard spot when Kent realized that Emmett had broken a pact they had made to stay sober.
"I went home from Solvang and saw Randall party so much that he does not even know his own name anymore. You write your next words. It does not work for Lala. I feel betrayed because we made a pact. It’s a difficult time for me and I need my partner, I need my soulmate and I need someone to help me," she revealed in the show.
The duo even ended up calling it quits, with Kent explaining, “I decided to take a break from him. There are a lot of things going on. I am so excited right now. I do not think I can be with Rand." Relationships will always have ups and downs, and for lack of better clarity, it seems that the ups are always expected in reality shows. After having met up a few days later, Emmett proposed to Kent on her 28th birthday in Cabo San Lucas at the Esperanza An Auberge Resort.
The duo decided to call off the wedding in March and a statement released by the couple read, "we have decided to move the date of our wedding to July given the unfortunate circumstances of what is going on. We are obviously saddened by this but for the ultimate safety of our families and guests, we have made the decision to wait and see how everything progresses. Safety will always be our number one priority.”
