Lala Kentis hoping to minimize her interactions with exRandall Emmett.
TheVanderpump Rulesstar appeared onWatch What Happens LiveMonday night, where she revealed her and her ex-fiancé’s parenting arrangement for 1-year-old daughterOcean.
“We parallel parent and I’mtrying to move to zero contact. We’ll see how that goes,” said Kent, 31.
“For intractable high-conflict families, parallel parenting provides an opportunity for co-parenting, and although parents remain disengaged from each other, they remain fully connected to their children,” the publication adds.

“They ‘traveled’ together while I was home with Ocean, and working on my brand,” theBravostar wrote on Instagram. “I thought he was working, because that’s what he said he was doing.”
Since the split, Kent hasbegun dating again. The businesswoman had her first outing in a group setting. Shesaid she had “fun"with the mystery man but has since revealedhe failed her background check, and she said onWWHLMonday that she is now “taking a break from dating.”
Back in December 2021, Kent told PEOPLE that she and Emmett were on a “little bit of a schedule” when it came to their then-9-month-old daughter.
“Nothing is set in stone,” she added. “I have her the majority of the time andthere’s very little communication between the two of us.”
The mother of one also said that being a single mom is a “strength that I cannot describe.”
“Of course, I have my moments, but they don’t take me out,” she shared. “It’s moments of confusion and trying to understand things. But all in all, I feel like the most powerful, independent, and most beautiful that I have ever felt in my entire life.”
Last month, Kent celebratedOcean’s first birthdaywith a party to complement her daughter’s unique name.
Former and currentVanderpump Rulescostars, includingBrittany CartwrightandScheana Shay, came together — with their babies in tow — to celebrate the occasion, which took place in Cartwright and husbandJax Taylor’s backyard. Emmett was not in attendance.
“The best moment was singing happy birthday and watching her smash her cake,” Kent told PEOPLE. “It was a birthday that was full of so much love.”
