Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent Shares Heartbreaking Update on Ariana Madix Friendship

Lala Kent and Ariana Madix have officially pumped the brakes on their friendship—seemingly for good.

After having a major falling out during Vanderpump Rules' season 11 finale and subsequent reunion earlier this year, Lala revealed exactly where their relationship stands today.

"We don't have one," the Give Them Lala podcast host revealed on the Oct. 22 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live before adding that a reconciliation "will never happen."

As for the possibility of the Bravo series returning for another season amid its ongoing hiatus? Lala hinted that the series may be done after Tom Sandoval and Rachel "Raquel" Leviss' 2023 cheating scandal irreparably fracture the friend group.

"Let's just say there's no more story to tell, right?" Lala continued. "There's only two people to blame for that and that's Sandoval and Raquel. Okay? Ariana, I will always be a cheerleader for." 

And despite their falling out, Lala only wishes Ariana well in her post-VPR success.

"I want to be around women who work hard and have things that are really cool," the 33-year-old explained on the June 10 episode of Two Ts in a Pod podcast. "I have constantly tried to be very supportive. Not tried, I wanted to be supportive. These are my friends. When Ariana started getting opportunities outside of Vanderpump Rules, that's great for all of us."

Lala also called out Ariana focusing more of her time on career opportunities outside VPR.

"The show reached a level that it never would have reached without this," she continued. "And even though it was horrible, I was not mad at the opportunity she was getting outside of the show. What I started getting upset about is now we're bringing a little bit of divaness to my place of work that I've been doing for eight years. And I have a hard time when people think that they are bigger than the show."

While Vanderpump Rules' future remains up in the air, Lala has had more time to spend with daughters Ocean, 3, and 1-month-old Sosa.
