Lala Kent and Ambyr Childers didn’t get off on the right foot — but have since developed a surprising friendship.
The pair first butted heads amid Kent’s romance with Randall Emmett, who was married to Childers from 2009 and 2017. Emmett and Childers welcomed daughters London and Rhylee in 2010 and 2013, respectively, before calling it quits.
One year after Emmett confirmed his romance with Kent, Childers made headlines for calling out Kent via social media.
“Since you don’t want to answer my text messages, I’ll try here,” she wrote via Instagram in August 2019. “Lala, I appreciate your love towards my children, but until you’re officially their stepmother please refrain from posting my children on social media! I hope [you] understand where I’m coming from. Many thanks.”
Kent and Emmett got engaged in 2018 and welcomed their daughter, Ocean, in March 2021. After postponing their wedding due to COVID-19, Kent sparked split speculation in October 2021 when she removed all traces of her then-fiancé from her social media feed. One month later, Us confirmed that Kent and Emmett had called it quits.
Later that year, Emmett claimed that Kent and Childers were teaming up to launch a smear campaign against him.
“I believe that Ambyr and Lauren [Kent’s real name] are working together in [an] attempt to destroy my reputation to give them both an advantage for custody,” Emmett alleged in documents obtained by Us Weekly in November 2022.
Kent seemingly slammed Emmett’s comments via her Instagram Story that same month.
“When the day comes that you crash and burn, you can try to blame everyone around you for your demise. And not if, but when that day comes — where your truth is revealed that you desperately tried to cover up — you will have to look in the mirror and know [that] no one did this to you but you,” Kent wrote.
