Dare we say these are the best days of Lala Kent's life?
The Vanderpump Rules star gave birth to her second baby on Sept. 3, she shared on her Instagram Story.
"Welcome into the world, my love," she wrote alongside audio of adults cheering over her baby girl's arrival. The clip also captured some of the little one's first cries, as Lala added, "9.3.24."
The birth of Lala's daughter comes three years after Lala and then-fiance Randall Emmett welcomed daughter Ocean, in March 2021, just seven months before they ended their three-year engagement.
But the Give Them Lala podcast host has proven she doesn't need a man to grow her squad, as she conceived her second baby through the use of a sperm donor via intrauterine insemination (IUI), a process in which sperm is placed directly into the uterus.
"When I had my life go in a very different direction, I knew I wanted more kids," she explained to Cosmopolitan in January. "It was such a strange thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, ‘You're going to find somebody.' And I got to thinking, Why does my wanting more children need to involve another person?"
Lala, who found her sperm donor through the California Cryobank, has been quite open about the process.
As the reality star put it, she "felt this need to start talking about it because there are women out in the world who sit there and wait for a man to come into the picture and are just yearning for children even though there is another way to get pregnant."
And there are plenty of ways to raise a family too, with Lala confident she'll have more than enough support to raise her two daughters.
"My mom is a tremendous help," Lala shared on a March 5 Amazon Live, noting her mother, Lisa Burningham, was just off-camera, "and she helps co-parent."
In addition to the feminine influences Lala and her mother will bring to her life, her newborn will also have several father figures.
"There are so many men in Ocean's life that will be in this baby's life that truly have taken on the role of a dad," she said in the Amazon Live. "And not because I've asked them to, but because they've just really stepped up to the plate. So I don't worry about those things at all."
Although she recognizes her family dynamic isn't typical, Lala knows that her daughters will grow up in a loving household.
"It may not look normal to most people, but Ocean and this child, they're going to be surrounded by so much love," she added, comparing her support system to a "pod of orcas."
The love this group brings was apparent as she announced that "it's a girl!" on her April 9 Amazon Live. Surrounded by brother Easton Burningham, Give Them Lala co-host Jessica Walter and her mother, Lala popped a balloon filled with pink confetti and celebrated the news.
And even though the 33-year-old is happily single at the moment, she is still open to seeking out her metaphorical white whale.
"I believe in love," she shared. "I know that I will find love again."

"I’ve been sober for 5 years today," Lala wrote on social media in October 2023. "On this day I replay my rock bottom moment. All the details of what happened on this day. Waking up, admitting I was powerless, and for the first time in many years seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m so grateful for this day"
"I will continue to work hard for my sobriety, & take a moment of silence for the alcoholic who still suffers," she added. "I see you- I love you. Thank you, God. Happy birthday to me!"
Lala shared an adorable snapshot of Ocean and a furry friend.

"I read on a sign coming in that Aloha is a lifestyle, & it is," the Give Them Lala podcast host posted during a December 2023 vacation. "Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful island. It revived us all. We are so grateful."

"Thank you for bringing me into this world, mama," Lala wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for making me a mama, Ocean. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone taking on the role of a 'mom'. I see you. It’s not easy, but we got this handled. Today belongs to us."
The mother-daughter duos hit up the Natural History Museum.
The duo share an adorable smooch.
A little 'Ocean goes to Newport' carousel," Lala shared in Summer 2023. "Made my heart so full watching O play where I used to play at her age. Newport holds a special place in my heart. My dad would have us set up on this beach at 7 am & we’d stay until the sun went down. Ocean is making him proud. A beach bum just like her Poppy."
