Vanderpump Rules: Why Fans Think Lala & James Should Rekindle Romance
Amid news of James Kennedy's breakup with Raquel Leviss, Vanderpump Rules fans think he might rekindle his old romance with Lala Kent.
Amid news of James Kennedy's breakup with Raquel Leviss, Vanderpump Rules fans think he might rekindle his old flirty romance with Lala Kent. Considering the timing of James and Raquel's split as it related to Lala's breakup with Randall Emmett, the irony is too big to ignore. With James and Lala both calling off their respective engagements, it begs the question if the former lovers might consider giving it another try. Onlookers are speculating over what caused James and Raquel's separation and if Lala's breakup had anything to do with it.
James and Raquel shared their engagement in season 9. The couple spent five years building their bond going through a number of breakups and makeups. Despite James' mistreatment of Raquel, she stuck it out and remained patient with the musical DJ. But there were signs during the early days of their romance that James had romantic feelings for his best friend Lala. James and Lala used to be attached at the hip before they ended up meeting their now-former spouses Randall and Raquel. Now that they're both single, longtime viewers are wondering if Lala and "White Kanye" will consider giving their romance another try.
After James and Raquel's breakup was confirmed, fans were quick to note how close the split came after Lala's. Reddit user u/Vanderpump_rules1 shared a throwback photo showing James and Lala in happier times as close friends. During Lala's inception in season 4, James had hopes of hooking up with her to make his then-girlfriend Kristen Doute jealous. At the time, James was convinced that Kristen was cheating on him and wanted to get payback by linking up with the new girl. But in the end, James and Lala became best friends and would hang out together making music. James showed that he had feelings for Lala once she started dating Randall (who remained anonymous at the time.)
Even when James moved on and started dating Raquel, he continued to show signs of jealously over Lala dating Randall. With James and Lala both recently ending their engagements, fans think there's a possibility of them shacking up. When one Redditor asked why everyone keeps bringing up James and Lala's past, another explained why some fans are hopeful they'll get back to being flirty best friends. "People are hoping because they have natural chemistry and they both just broke up with their SOs," the fan said. However, many others brought up Lala's past complaints against James's sexual performance and figured she wouldn't consider hooking up with him again. "Will she give him Lala," one fan jokingly asked.
With James and Raquel officially done as a couple, many are wondering if this is for good. Lala has shown signs that she is focused on staying single and not getting back together with Randall. Considering James' behavioral issues, it's likely Raquel is keeping her distance until he works on himself and matures. With the Vanderpump Rules reunion approaching, the former couple will explain what exactly led to their split and where they currently stand. If they do address their breakup on the show, it'll only point to the next obvious question....how does Lala feel about it? Lala and James both have breakups to address at the reunion. How ironic.
