Why Lala Kent Has Not Revealed Name of Baby No. 2—and the Reason Involves Beyoncé

Even Lala Kent bows down to Beyoncé.
That's why the Vanderpump Rules star decided against announcing her second baby's name on the latest episode of her Give Them Lala podcast, which fell exactly on the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer's 43rd birthday.
"Today is Beyoncé's birthday," Lala said on the Sept. 4 episode. "We can't announce today."
And according to the 34-year-old, "no one's gonna give a s--t" about her newborn daughter's name if she revealed it on the Grammy winner's b'day. So, she decided to postpone the big reveal to not have it be "shadowed" by all other festivities.
"I'm gonna wait," Lala added, before teasing the first initial of the infant. "Baby S deserves her moment."
Lala—who is mom to daughter Ocean, 4, with ex Randall Emmett—gave birth to her second child on Sept. 3. At the time, she shared an audio clip to her Instagram Stories of the little one's first cries.
Lala wrote in the accompanying caption, "Welcome into the world, my love."
Though the newborn's moniker is still shrouded in mystery, Lala has been open about her decision to expand her family.
"When I had my life go in a very different direction, I knew I wanted more kids," she told Cosmopolitan in January, explaining how she conceived through the use of a sperm donor and intrauterine insemination (IUI). "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?'"
She continued, "There are many ways to have a baby, and you don’t need a man to do it."
For Lala, it also became important to her 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."
"It’s a road that I never thought I would be going down," the reality star shared. "I really saw myself in the cookie-cutter relationship and creating a family, but now that the universe has other plans for me, I’m so grateful this was an option."
But that's not to say Lala—who ended her three-year engagement to Randall in 2021—has given up on finding a partner entirely.
"I believe in love," she said on an Amazon Live broadcast in April. "I know that I will find love again."
For now, keep reading to see her mommy moments with daughter Ocean.

"To my first love: Oh how you rocked my world and sent me straight to heaven when you made me a mama," Lala wrote on Instagram in March 2024. "I love you so much, my little Pisces princess. Keep making waves. Happy 3rd birthday, angel face. God bless you."

Ocean is all smiles with the wind in her hair.
"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.
The two enjoy a tropibal beach vacation.
Could Ocean look any cuter in her tiara?
"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."
Lala and Ocean cool off in the summer heat.
Scheana, Summer, Brock Davies, Lala and Ocean reunite with Vanderpump Rules alums Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, with their son Cruz at the premiere of Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge in L.A.
