Lala Kent Celebrates Sosa's 1st Birthday with the Cutest Backyard Party
The Vanderpump Rules alum became emotional while reflecting on her baby girl's big milestone.
Lala Kent closed out her birthday week with an epic bash… that wasn’t for her.
Just a day after Lala turned 35 (September 2), her baby girl, Sosa Kent, officially became 12 months old. The Vanderpump Rules alum celebrated the milestone by throwing the cutest party at her family's $3 million Valley home.
Lala first teased the event during an August 26 Amazon Live stream, explaining how her 4-year-old daughter, Ocean Kent Emmett, was involved in the party planning.

“Ocean helped me pick out all of these goods,” Lala said. “I love that Ocean is the one that said she wanted to throw a first birthday that was silly goose [themed]. I’m like, ‘Silly goose? That’s so cute.’ And she goes, ‘Yeah, remember? My costume that I had on when you took me trick-or-treating.’ I was like, ‘I’m so dead. How do you have that memory still?’”
Lala marked Sosa’s actual birthday (September 3) with a small at-home family get-together, and then hosted a larger party on Saturday, September 6. As seen on Lala's Instagram Stories, the event was primarily held in her backyard, where a team set up several white picnic tables adorned with pastel flower arrangements, light pink dishware, and matching cups.
Behind the tables was a beautiful pink backdrop where guests could snap a few photos. The structure was adorned with pink, purple, blue, and yellow balloons and a sign that read, “Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she onederful."

The party’s color scheme also appeared in the selection of custom macrons, some of which were decorated with Sosa’s adorable portrait.
Guests — which included The Valley’s Michelle Saniei and Janet Caperna — were also treated to a full taco bar, complete with different protein options, a wide range of toppings, and sides of rice.
But it wouldn’t be a birthday party without cake. Lala showed off the elaborate three-tier dessert in several Instagram Stories before guests dug in. The cake was covered with white frosting as well as colorful flower designs and butterfly appliqués.

Hours after the party wrapped, Lala returned to Instagram to offer a quick recap. Although she described the event as the “most beautiful first birthday,” Lala admitted the day was both exhausting and emotional.
“This is a face of a very tired momma,” she said. “I cry a lot. There’s a lot of mom guilt happening. I’ve had to miss drop-off, pick-up… But today was excellent. My cup is so full… the babes are in bed and I’m gonna try to get some rest because these eyes are screaming, ‘Go to bed! And stop beating yourself up over every detail of life.’”
Lala reflected on Sosa’s milestone in the aforementioned Amazon Live stream, saying it completely overshadowed her own birthday.
“I actually forgot it was my birthday because I’m so fixated on the fact that it’s Sosa’s first birthday,” she explained. “I feel like, now, my birthday actually represents the day that I prepared to give birth to Sosa. She was supposed to come on the 1st. I really wanted her to come on the 2nd, but she’s a star. She’s like, ‘I’m not sharing a birthday with my mom!’ Can you imagine? If history repeats itself in how close I am with my mom, she would really be glued to my hip. Every year, I’d be calling her asking how we were gonna celebrate our birthdays.”

Austen Kroll SLAMS Leva Bonaparte for Calling Him ‘Most Complained About,’ Accuses Her of Staging Drama to Save Her Reputation, Claims She Booted Him From Her Restaurant, All While the Scandal Accidentally Catapults Her Business
Austen Kroll isn’t holding back anymore. After weeks of whispers, Instagram subtweets, and rumors circulating the Hamptons, Austen has gone public with his fury over Leva Bonaparte, accusing her of turning a personal feud into full-blown drama — all while ironically boosting her restaurant’s fame.
“She called me the ‘most complained about’ person?” Austen exclaimed, disbelief and anger thick in his voice. “That’s not just unfair — it’s a complete manipulation. She’s staging drama to save her own reputation, and I’m caught in the middle.”
The Restaurant Fallout
Austen claims that the feud didn’t stay in words. According to him, Leva went so far as to boot him from her own restaurant after a minor disagreement, leaving him shocked and publicly humiliated. “I can’t believe she would do that over something so small,” Austen said. “It wasn’t just personal, it was professional too. And yet somehow, it spun in her favor.”
Insiders reveal the irony isn’t lost on anyone. “Leva’s restaurant has never had more attention,” one source explained. “Every fight, every comment, every post about Austen being ‘complained about’ is driving traffic through the roof. People are curious, people are talking — it’s the ultimate reality TV paradox.”
Accusations of Staged Drama
Austen is adamant that the drama is orchestrated. “I’m not just another storyline for her to fix her image,” he said firmly. “She knows how to make herself the victim, the heroine, and somehow it turns everything in her favor. I’m done being part of her play.”
The Hamptons React
Friends and castmates report that the tension has divided the house. Some sympathize with Austen, frustrated by Leva’s tactics, while others are caught up in the spectacle, unsure what’s real and what’s manufactured. “It’s like walking through a minefield,” one insider admitted. “One comment, one move, and another firestorm ignites. The house is buzzing.”
A Love-Hate Spotlight
Despite the chaos, Austen isn’t retreating. “I’m not backing down,” he declared. “I’m tired of being misrepresented. And if this ends up shining a light on how much manipulation goes on behind the scenes, then fine. But I won’t let this fake drama define me or my name.”
In the Hamptons, where every slight becomes a headline and every feud fuels curiosity, Austen and Leva’s explosive clash may be the most talked-about storyline yet — proving once again that in reality TV, sometimes the drama is the star of the show.
