Lala Kent recently shared a unique aspect of her daily routine, revealing that she adds breast milk to her coffee. During the December 31 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Kent disclosed that she drank 10 ounces of her own breast milk that morning. She explained that she wasn’t going to waste it by dumping it down the sink, opting instead to use it in her coffee.
Kent, known for her candid nature, explained that she never felt particularly attached to the idea of breastfeeding. She had mixed feelings at first, unsure whether her milk would come in and if she would pursue breastfeeding. “Maybe I’ll do it, maybe I won’t. We’ll see,” she said, discussing her initial uncertainty with podcast host Amanda Hirsch.
In September, Kent welcomed her daughter Sosa into the world via intrauterine insemination (IUI) with a sperm donor. Kent is also the mother of her 3-year-old daughter, Ocean, from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett. After Sosa’s birth, Kent took to Instagram to share the news with her followers, posting an adorable audio clip with well-wishes for her newborn.
Before revealing her pregnancy in March, Kent opened up about her decision to use IUI and a sperm donor to have a second child. Reflecting on her past, she expressed surprise at the path she took, having once envisioned a more traditional family-building experience. She shared that while this was not the route she expected, she is deeply grateful for the option to have children this way.
In an effort to empower women, Kent spoke about how her experience with IUI and sperm donation might inspire others in similar situations. She mentioned how many women wait for a partner to come along before pursuing motherhood but highlighted the other available options. By sharing her story, Kent hopes to encourage women to explore different routes if they feel called to have children.
Kent’s journey to motherhood comes after her split from Randall Emmett in 2021. The couple had been engaged in 2018, but their relationship ended amid trust issues. Reports suggest that the decision to separate was Kent’s, and she has remained focused on her daughter and career since the breakup. Though Emmett tried to win her back, Kent was clear that she needed to move on.
During their split, Kent addressed the cheating allegations against Emmett, particularly after he was seen with other women in Nashville in October 2021. Kent shared her feelings on her podcast, revealing how she decided to alter a tattoo in response to the betrayal. Despite the emotional challenges, she remains optimistic about her future, confident that the universe will reveal the truth about people in her life.
