Choosing positivity. While addressing his split from Lala Kent for the first time, Randall Emmett revealed that he intends to always respect his ex.
“She’s the mother of my child. No matter what happens in life, I will never disparage or talk ill about her because she’s Ocean’s mom,” Emmett, 50, who shares 12-month-old daughter Ocean with Kent, 31, said during an interview on GG Gharachedaghi‘s “Genuinely GG” podcast on Wednesday, March 23.
The director, who also shares daughters London, 12, and Rylee, 8, with ex-wife Ambyr Childers, noted that cordial coparenting is his No. 1 priority. “I have two other kids and I coparent with Ambyr and in that world I never said one negative thing and vice versa,” he added. “At the end of the day, I am not that comfortable in this whole thing, but the truth is that I just have to always look at the big picture.”
Emmett was previously married to Childers, 33, from 2009 to 2017. One year after their divorce was finalized, the filmmaker proposed to Kent in September 2018. Emmett and the Bravo personality welcomed Ocean in March 2021.
After postponing their nuptials amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Vanderpump Rules star sparked split speculation in October 2021 when she erased all traces of Emmett from her Instagram feed. One month later, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair had called it quits.
In the wake of her broken engagement, Kent has been candid about her tumultuous relationship with her ex-fiancé and explained why she was choosing to discuss their issues publicly.
“There are so many times where people are sending me messages about what I’m choosing to share. And for me, I want my daughter to understand what a healthy, respectable man looks like,” the reality star told Page Six in
