Lala Kent announces she’s pregnant, expecting her second baby: ‘I’m expanding my capsule’
“And I think the word ‘daddy’ is an honor and a privilege, and that word is not something that should be shared. And there are so many men in Ocean’s life who are going to be in this baby’s life who have really taken on the role of dad.”
Kent announced her exciting baby news on Instagram on Sunday, captioning her post: “Expanding my pod.”
She also included a black-and-white photo of her pregnant belly standing next to her daughter Ocean.
Another photo captured the mother-daughter duo posing with two bottles of vitamins next to them on the counter. “@maryruthorganics is rooting for the new addition to my little family,” Kent added.
In January, Kent revealed to PEOPLE her desire to give her daughter a sibling.
“I think Ocean is going to go crazy when another baby comes along because she’s obsessed with babies and I think she’s going to be extremely hands-on,” Kent said at the time.
When asked where she was on her fertility journey, Kent teased, “We’re on a journey! We’re actually pulling our ass full steam ahead.”
A few weeks later, Kent said Cosmopolitan that she began the process of conceiving a second child through intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a treatment where sperm is surgically placed in the uterus to fertilize an egg.
Noting that she had friends who went through the process but were in “relationships,” the reality TV star said, “when my life took a completely different direction, I knew I wanted more kids.”
“It was such a weird thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, ‘You’re going to find someone.’ And I started thinking, ‘Why does my desire for more children have to include another person?'”
