Pregnant Lala Kent beamed with baby joy as she welcomed a parade of her friends to her daughter Ocean’s third birthday party in Los Angeles.
She announced her latest pregnancy last week, posting a heartbreaking snap of two-year-old Ocean smiling at Lala’s burgeoning baby bump.
Lala is still locked in a rancorous custody battle with Ocean’s father, film producer Randall Emmett, more than two years after their split.
Shocked by her experiences and determined not to “share my child again,” Lala opted for artificial insemination with a sperm donor.
Now, as she prepares to welcome her next baby alone, Lala is celebrating Ocean’s big day with some of the friends she rose to fame with on Vanderpump Rules.

Little Ocean, who turns three next week, was of course also part of the festivities, and Lala made sure she was well entertained even in the company of adults.
Ocean could be seen sitting in a glamorous toy car, gliding down the driveway alongside her mother, who mingled with arriving guests.
Scheana Shay was spotted arriving with her handsome husband Brock Davies and their three-year-old daughter Hartford.
Brock walked ahead, wearing a stylish ’80s printed shirt with several buttons tantalizingly open across his chest, revealing a retro necklace underneath.
Meanwhile, Scheana, braving the persistent March cold in a summery pink T-shirt and acid-wash jeans, continued holding her son.
Katie Maloney, whose cheerful antics on Vanderpump Rules earned her the nickname Tequila Katie, was the picture of joy as she arrived at the party.
Wrapping a long dark coat over an olive green cardigan, she slipped on a pair of dark cut-off pants and finished the look with matching leather loafers.
She walked through the party holding a flower pot and a bulging bag, possibly containing gifts for the growing family she was visiting.
Stassi Schroeder could be seen showing up at Lala’s house with her boyfriend Beau Clark and their three-year-old daughter Hartford.
The blonde bombshell opted for a casual look, bundling up in a cozy-looking sweater that contrasted her Daisy Dukes.

Meanwhile, the mother-to-be cut a luminous figure in a chic and elegant maternity dress with a thigh slit that allowed her to show off her shapely legs.
Her gray knit dress was sleeveless, but she came prepared for the drop in temperatures with a matching jacket.
Letting her luxurious caramel locks fall freely over her shoulders in waves, she accentuated her pinup features with naturalistic makeup.
Lala added a pop of color to her look with a pair of blue checkered stiletto boots, giving the ensemble an extra touch of style.

In a recent appearance on Amazon Live, Lala shed some light on why she conceived through artificial insemination instead of naturally.

‘The best thing about my baby daddy is that he doesn’t exist. “I’ve been pretty open about wanting to have complete control over… I guess not my son, but having him around me all the time,” she explained.
“I went through a really difficult time with my past and just with Ocean,” he noted without mentioning Randall’s name. “For me, my son will never be in the game again.”
Lala and Randall split in 2021 amid a barrage of accusations that he had cheated on her, and the ensuing custody battle is still ongoing.
In 2022, she was so disillusioned with the idea of co-parenting that she declared she would only have her next child with a sperm donor.
‘I won’t even try to do it any other way. “I don’t want there to be another person involved,” she said on Scheana’s Scheananigans podcast.
Although there was always the possibility of a boyfriend “coming into my life,” she “wasn’t taking the risk” of raising a child with someone else again.
‘There’s a good chance it won’t work, especially where we live. “I’m so scared by all this shit that’s happened in my life.”
