Lala Kent calls James Kennedy her 'soulmate'

Lala and James, who were in relationships with other people at the time, confessed to having an intimate relationship during their five-year romance on 'Vanderpump Rules'. Despite being committed to their respective partners, Lala called James her soulmate, emphasizing that soulmates can take various forms beyond just romantic partners. In a series of Q&A on her Instagram story post, a fan asked, "Do you think you and James Kennedy are soulmates?" The Vanderpump Rules star said in the reply to the question being asked "Soulmates come in many forms. I don't think that "soulmate" only means an intimate partner. So yes, James is one of my soulmates." Their connection extended beyond mere physical attraction, but their involvement included cheating on their then-partners, with Lala dating producer Randall Emmett and James being in a relationship with Raquel Levis. Their actions ultimately led to the revelation of their infidelity on the show during its tenth season. She later added saying that "& now I'm really missing my blonde hair after seeing this picture."

Why did Lala Kent and James Kennedy break up?

Lala and James, the former couple from 'Vanderpump Rules' called it quits due to their tumultuous relationship and incompatible lifestyles. Despite their occasional hookups, Lala revealed that their connection primarily stemmed from partying and alcohol consumption, rather than genuine emotional compatibility. Their relationship lacked stability and depth, as their romantic interactions were primarily fueled by substances. Eventually, they realized that their bond was not built on a solid foundation of mutual understanding and shared values, leading to their ultimate breakup. According to Bravo Lala said, they were never really sober while hooking up, as she said, “I know neither of us feel the romantic connection." She continued, “I believe any intimacy we had was alcohol-fueled. I don’t think we ever made out sober."
