Tom Schwartz reveals his new relationship amid Lala Kent dating rumors
The TomTom bar owner previously teased the romance in an October 2025 episode of Lala Kent’s Untraditionally Lala podcast, as he and the titular host faced a wave of dating rumors. Lala had poked fun at the whispers by sharing a “soft launch” photo of her and her longtime castmate. Tom said he considered resharing the picture on Instagram, but ultimately decided against it because he was involved with someone special.
“I didn’t repost it out of respect for someone I’m dating,” he said. “But she is in on the joke, and she gets it totally.”
Lala then confirmed that she met the mystery woman, whom she said had a “very hot face.”
“Some would call it a supermodel-stunning face,” Lala added. “I, like, kind of couldn’t put together words when I saw her…
“I felt bad because I had posted that,” Lala continued. “And then I met her, and I was like, ‘Oh, f—k, this isn’t just a girl’s name that I’ve heard.'”

“I don’t see that much, but she’s so sweet,” he said. “She’s so freaking sweet to me, always, and kind. [She] sends me funny texts sometimes. But, also, I’m respectful of our boundaries.”
