‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Lala Kent and married mystery lover caught kissing

Lala Kent isn’t keeping her married man a secret anymore.

In exclusive photos and video obtained by Page Six, the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 27, can be seen kissing Hollywood producer Randall Emmett at a FabFitFun event at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills on Dec. 7.

“They were side by side the whole time, but they weren’t doing the PDA snuggly thing,” an insider told Page Six of the pair. “They didn’t leave each other’s side.”

Emmett, 46, is the executive producer of “Power.” He is married to actress Ambyr Childers, who starred in “Ray Donovan.” The couple has two children.

“He was definitely being more cautious than her,” the insider said. “They weren’t being shy about [their relationship]. Even when they left, they were together but he was still two feet in front of her. She was hugging people and taking photos when she was leaving.”

Kent first appeared on Season 4 (2015-2016) of the Bravo hit show and came under fire for dating a man who was said to be married during Season 5 (2016-2017). She quit the show midway through the season over her castmates’ claims that her extravagant lifestyle was paid for by her then-anonymous boyfriend. After returning for Season 6 (which is currently on-air), she admitted that her Range Rover had been paid for by someone else.

In January, Kent’s “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Stassi Schroeder hinted at Emmett’s identity on Twitter.

Emmett first filed for separation from Childers, 29, in April 2015, but asked the court to dismiss his petition in May 2016, around the same time our insider says Kent met Emmett. Emmett’s reconciliation with Childers didn’t work out, as she filed for divorce in January 2017. The case is still open, per an LA County court docket.

“[Emmett] reached out to [Kent] through her social media/email personally,” the insider said, explaining that Emmett was a fan of “Vanderpump Rules” and had seen her on the show. They met at a “swanky Beverly Hills hotel” shortly after, the insider added.

Their relationship progressed and “Lala lied about how in depth [it] was for a long time,” the insider told us.

“Her friends have to keep the secret too,” the insider added. “She puts her lavish lifestyle on everyone else because they have to lie for her.”

Meanwhile, Kent seems to be making light of things, recently launching her own lip gloss line and naming a shade “Randy.”

“It’s named after a special person,” she told Us Weekly. “And obviously I had to poke fun at last season so we had to go with The Affair and we had to go with Mistress.”

She also told the publication that she would mention her boyfriend on air, but he will not make any appearances this season.

Reps for Randall declined to comment. Kent’s reps did not return our request for comment.

Bravo did not get back to us.
