EXCLUSIVE: Lala Kent Has a Thirst … for NINJA

Lala Kent has been a powerhouse in the Bravo realm. She has taken her platform and used it to build and expand her empire, most recently teaming up with Ninja Thirsti.

We sat down with the vivacious Kent to hear about her latest venture with Ninja Thirsti, becoming a second-time mom, her Bravo biz and thoughts on “Vanderpump Rules” in an exclusive interview below.

ENOW: I absolutely loved seeing your water tasting on VPR and congrats on your sober anniversary. Have you thought about a Ninja Thirsti Tasting Party?

Lala: I haven’t had a tasting “party,” but my Ninja Thirsti is out to good use when I have people over. It’s great because I can make someone a sparkling water with the best flavor combos, and then make someone else a soda with their new ZERO SODA Flavored Water Drops from the exact same machine. Around the holidays, I love to lean into the dirty soda trend or mix things up and create fun, festive mocktails. The Ninja Thirsti is genius. 

ENOW: So, another congrats … on becoming a Mama again. Love the name! As a mom to a young child myself, how do you juggle it all?

Lala: I love a schedule that’s written down on paper. I’m old school. Since becoming a mom, I never compromise when it comes to my kids. These moments are so fleeting. 

ENOW: Switching gears a little and not to be a walking Lala plug, but I’m obsessed with your Send It to Darrell hoodies. I have three and strangers are always running up to me when I wear them, shouting out some Lala love. How does it make you feel when people get so passionate about your products?

Lala: It feels surreal. I have a really beautiful community, and I’m so thankful for all the love a support I’ve gotten throughout the years. It does not go unnoticed. I have this life because of my Lala Squad. I love them. 

ENOW: By the way, Andy Cohen told me he loved your hoodie also. So, you’re really choosing well with your products, especially teaming up with Ninja Thirsti!

That means a lot! I’m very strategic with my business decisions. I only team up with brands and products that really resonate with who I am and what I enjoy, so when Ninja reached out about the Thirsti partnership, it was a no brainer for me given my absolute love for sparkling water.

ENOW: So, it’s been quite the news day. How would you feel about a mash-up or crossover of VPR with another Bravo show?

Lala: I love a Bravo crossover! Maybe RHOSLC? Or I’d die to be a fly on the wall for “Summer House” and “Southern Charm.” 

ENOW: And one last hypothetical. Is there anyone you’d love to bring back on “Vanderpump Rules” if you could?

Lala: I didn’t have the luxury of filming with Laura-Leigh. I wish I could have.
