"There's not one piece of the five years I was with this person that has been truthful and honest."
There’s been no shortage of drama between “Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent and producer Randall Emmett since they met back in 2015. After keeping their relationship hush-hush for several years, the duo finally made things public in 2018 — and got engaged not long after. While fans watched the couple begin to plan their dream wedding, things weren’t going as well behind the scenes.
In fact, after a canceled wedding, a tumultuous quarantine, and several near breakups, the couple finally called it quits for good just a few months after welcoming their first child. And since their split, things have only gotten more dramatic as Lala has uncovered some shocking truths about their former relationship.
See all the ups and downs surrounding their split…

Lala & Randall Cancel Their Wedding Amid Covid Concerns
In April 2020, Lala and Randall were set to tie the knot but unfortunately, the pandemic forced them to call things off. At the time, the couple tried to reschedule the wedding to later in the year but each time it got pushed back.
“It was this weird thing because it was April, obviously, and then we pushed it to September or October, and we thought that life would be somewhat back to normal [by then]. That obviously wasn’t true. So she called me up one day, and she was like, ‘Babe, we have to move this wedding.’ And I was like, ‘No, we’re not moving. We’ll have it with five people.’ And she’s like, ‘No, you don’t want that version of this wedding. So we need to do the right thing,'” Randall told Us Weekly.
The Couple Nearly Split During Quarantine
Things didn’t get any easier after Lala and Randall’s wedding was called off. Lala admitted that the state of the world took a toll on the couple, who nearly split on many occasions during quarantine. And although it was a tough time, Lala says it ultimately brought the duo closer together — and they were finally in a good place.
“Randall and I have almost broken up about a dozen times, so, you know, this is definitely a test for people’s relationships, but it’s so crazy because, you know, you sit there and you start bickering about little things and you start overanalyzing everything, and, like, we really have just like elevated our relationship in such an amazing way. I know we’re always gonna argue and of course we were never really going to end the relationship, but, you know, you’re stuck with someone. We’re in such a great place I didn’t even think we could get any better,” Lala said on the “Better Together with Maria Menounos” podcast.

“I think it’s nothing like I thought it would be because it’s even more incredible. I’ve become a cheeseball, and I hate that and I love it at the same time. When Ocean was born, it was the best day of my entire life. I’m just so happy,” Lala told Entertainment Tonight.

“It won’t be the last time I archive pictures of Rand when he makes me mad. I’m petty AF. It will happen again and again until I grow out of it & it’s the most petty thing I do, I’m OK with it,” Lala said one of the first times she deleted photos of Randall.

So that’s what I do…I just never thought that my life would be where it is right now and that’s okay. That’s totally fine. There’s moments where I have pits in my stomach and I’m like, ‘I need God to take over right now because it’s too much,'” Lala said.

“There’s not one piece of the five years I was with this person that has been truthful and honest. The only truth I feel that existed in my relationship was me and my daughter, Ocean. That is where the truth ended. That is a hard pill to f—ing swallow,” Lala admitted.

Lala Accuses Randall Of Repeatedly Cheating During Their Relationship
In January 2022, Lala kicked off the new year by opening up about more things she had learned about her relationship with Randall. When asked if Randall had only cheated once or if it was the only time he got caught, Lala says it was something that consistently happened and she ignored the red flags.
“This has been going on for quite some time. It’s been kind of repeated behavior that I have found out about and it’s not just one person, it’s many. I believe it started after I got sober and it’s just, I don’t know how I didn’t see it…The constant phone use, it was glued to him. He couldn’t even go into a massage without his phone on him and he was very funny if I would get anywhere near the phone, that should have been a huge red flag to me. And the constant being gone, he was never around. But I just figured, ‘Who would creep around with him?’ I really thought that,” Lala said on “Watch What Happens Live.”
Randall & Lala Have No Communication Outside of Discussions About Ocean
Lala most recently revealed that she has no communication with Randall outside of an app they use to discuss their daughter Ocean. Even though she says there was no closure when it came to their relationship, she has no interest in speaking with Randall.
“There was no closure at all when it came to my relationship and exiting it. Ocean is the main focus and that’s how we communicate. If it doesn’t have to do with her, I have no desire to communicate with that person,” Lala said.
