Lala Kent opened up about her close connection with James Kennedy — including why she calls her Vanderpump Rules costar a soulmate.
During an Instagram Q&A on Sunday, June 25, Kent, 32, responded to a fan question about how their bond has gotten stronger over the years.
“Soulmates come in many forms. I don’t think that ‘soulmate’ only means an intimate partner. So yes, James is one of my soulmates,” the beauty mogul replied via Instagram Story alongside a photo of her and Kennedy, 31.
The pair quickly formed a friendship when Kent made her Vanderpump Rules debut in 2015. Kennedy tried to make a move on Kent as he parted ways with Kristen Doute — but their flirty back and forth ultimately fizzled out.
During season 10, however, Kent admitted that she had sex with the DJ in 2016 when they were both in relationships. (The Utah native was dating Randall Emmett at the time. Kennedy, for his part, went public with Raquel Leviss earlier that year.)

“James and I when we were both very new in our relationships definitely hooked up,” Kent revealed to Katie Maloney on a February episode of the hit Bravo series, which filmed in July 2022. “We went to Chicago [in 2016] and we started drinking before we got on the plane. That’s why he said I do handstands because I definitely do handstands.”
After Kent filled Leviss, 28, in on her past with Kennedy, the former beauty queen put them on blast. (Leviss and Kennedy announced their split during the season 9 reunion, which aired in January 2022.)
“Really, Lala? You’re going to sit there and judge me for hypothetically making out with Tom Schwartz, yet you slept with my boyfriend while we were together? You’re such a hypocrite,” Leviss said in
