It’s official — Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent are not dating one another, in spite of rumors currently floating around.
Lala appeared on Tom’s podcast, Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz, earlier this week, where the Vanderpump Rules alums admitted that they are not dating each other. “If it’s on the internet, it’s true, right?” Tom asked Lala, jokingly.
“Is this a hard launch?” he asked with a laugh. “This is a hard launch.”
Tom also took to the comments of an Instagram post, where he addressed the claims head on, telling one commenter “no we are not dating.”
“No clue where that rumor originated,” he added.
That same day, Tom took to his Instagram Story, where he posted a photo of someone holding up a phone with the words: “Are you dating Lala” on it. “Rumors addressed,” Tom wrote over the photo, linking to the podcast episode, along with a crying while laughing emoji.
Is Lala Kent dating anyone?
No, Lala is not dating anyone — not even Tom Schwartz. During the podcast, the mom of two admitted that she hasn’t dated for a while. “I don’t think I haven’t thought about men in a romantic way in a very long time,” she said.

Lala continued, admitting that she will start dating when she is ready. “I feel like it’ll come one day when it’s supposed to,” she admitted. “And a lot of people think that it’s weird. Like, a lot of people ask me, ‘Are you dating?’ And when I say no, they go, ‘Oh, you’ll be able to put yourself out there someday.’ I’m like, ‘What?'”
However, she did reveal that she is “open to like whatever the universe places me in.” “We’re gonna know that like that’s where we’re supposed to be,” she concluded.

During a June 10 episode of the podcast, Off the Vine, Tom admitted that he is “laying low” in his dating life, but he is “just hanging out” with a special someone, he’s just not “actively dating” them. “I was semi-dating somebody. We’re not dating or we were hanging out,” he noted.
Although he claimed that he is keeping a “low profile” today, he admitted that he does want kids in the near future. “I want kids more than anything right now, but I don’t — I’m not going to force it,” he concluded.
