Lala Kent is slated to appear on several episodes of the upcoming season of The Valley, but the former SUR hostess insists that moving to the San Fernando Valley had nothing to do with her role on the Vanderpump Rules spinoff.
“People think I moved to the Valley to be on ‘The Valley,’” Lala recently told Forbes. “You have to have such a large budget to be anywhere else in Los Angeles County and still be able to commute over the hill into the city!”
Prior to purchasing the 4,103 square-foot home (for more than $3 million), the former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star was living in “a very large apartment complex near West Hollywood.”
She now resides in her 1947-built home with her two children, Ocean and Sosa, and mom, Lisa Burningham. Lala’s brother and Give Them Lala podcast co-host, Easton Burningham, lives in a guest house on the property along with a roommate.
“I’m pretty obsessed with it over here,” Lala says of relocating to the Valley. “Now, every time I cross over, I tell myself, ‘You’re going to get back.’ It’s relaxing.”
While Lala insists that her move to the Valley had nothing to do with her being on ‘The Valley,’ she told the outlet that there was “something about this” house that “just stole my heart.”
“I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was, but I immediately pictured my kids playing here, hosting people by the pool,” she explained. “In other homes, as beautiful as they were, I just couldn’t see those moments. Even before Sosa arrived, I could already imagine what she would look like in this home.”
As Bravo fans may remember, Lala revealed on an episode of Scheana Shay’s Scheananigans podcast in March 2023 that she had purchased a home in Palm Springs, which she presumably still owns. (Scheana– who will also be making appearances on the upcoming season of ‘The Valley,’ has owned her vacation home in Palm Springs since 2019.)
“I just bought a house next to you,” Lala said on the episode, to which Scheana replied, “This b***h just bought a house right next door to me.”
Lala, who was born and raised in Utah, revealed during an Instagram Q&A in 2022 that she was “planning on getting a place in Utah soon.” She also posted on Instagram later that year that she wanted to move to New York, though it seems she is sticking to California for now.
Season 2 of ‘The Valley’ premieres April 15 on Bravo.

Dear Ashley, that is twice now, please tell me why I can’t tell the truth on here about Lala’s only talent is giving BJ’s to any man who has money in his pocket? FACTS.
Maybe it’s just me but her house is definitely not what I would consider stunning. Sure it looks nice but it also looks boring and average with no personality to it like a staged home for sale. Correct me if I’m wrong but this what I would picture an average middle class family lives in for LA. Why is that worth showing off to Forbes am I missing something here? Not trying to be judgy I’m just genuinely confused lol.
It definitely doesn’t look like kids live there or even that it is kid friendly. The aesthetic is oddly clinical for lack of a better description. It certainly was not worth 3 million.
So this is where everyone who thinks they are a celebrity are going….Can’t stand her. Such a hypocrite and self-righteous. I’m good.
And Jason / jax
Didn’t read the story, because when this whore is talking you can be 100% sure it is a lie. I haven’t watched one episode of the Valley because of this skanky, nasty, dirty, whore.
Upvoted for bluntness (LOL) but she wasn’t on the first season. I think she’s on the second which starts next month.
I already struggled with Kristin’s presence on the show. Not sure if I’ll be able to stand the addition of Lala.
