Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay says she hopes her daughter Summer Moon can keep her friendship with Lala Kent’s daughter, Ocean.
The Bravo TV moms were once close friends, raising their daughters together. But a recent falling out, stemming from Kent repeating something Shay told her in confidence about her husband Brock Davies’ past infidelity, has put their friendship on hold, Shay claimed on her “Scheananagins With Scheana Shay” podcast in November.
Speaking on the “Scheananagin” podcast on Jan. 16, Shay said she refuses to involve her 4-year-old daughter in the adults’ “drama.”
“Like no, that would be crazy,” Shay said to podcast guest Kiki Monique. “I would never do that. They did ask for a play date recently, and Summer asked me on a Thursday, and I was like, ‘Well Ocean’s usually with her dad on Thursdays.’ So I said, ‘Not today, but we’ll figure something out, and you’ll see her at school on Monday.’ She might ask again.”
“They see each other every day at school,” Shay added. “They were just like after school, you know, can we do a play date? And I’m like, ‘We’ll figure something out, honey.’ Because I will not involve my kid in the drama. She’s not going to know that we’re not friends anymore.”
Shay revealed that she still has close friends from her childhood and wants her daughter to always have that too. “She’s still friends with Ocean,” Shay reiterated. “I still want them to have that friendship as much as they can.”
Scheana Shay Said Things Could Change If Summer & Ocean Go To Different Schools
On her podcast, Shay pointed out that things could change when the little girls finish preschool and move on to other schools. “They might not all be going to the same school,” she explained. “We’re applying to some of the same schools. Who knows who gets in where, what someone’s first choice is and whatnot.”
The “Good as Gold” singer said it’s “on the parents to keep the kids connected” while they’re too young for cell phones or social media.
“So, if we want these kids to stay in touch, it’s like that’s on us,” she admitted. “I don’t know, to be honest, because it is on the parents to keep that connection. And I don’t know what’s going to happen with that friendship. … I do hope that Summer maintains friendships. But, you know, I mean, TBD on future playdates, because…I don’t want to say it’s a New Year’s resolution of mine, but it is something that I’ve been better about, and that’s boundaries. … With the Lala situation, we are cool and cordial at school. I saw her a few days ago. I said, ‘Hi, good morning.’ That’s pretty much it. Surface-level conversation. But like, as far as the playdates go, I’m like, ‘Well, this is a boundary I’ve personally set with Lala.’ I’m not going to be getting together with her to keep the kids friends.”
“You know, they’ve known each other literally since birth,” she added of the little girls. “I want her to keep those friendships as long as she can. It’s just, it is on the parents, and that’s the hard thing when parents aren’t getting along. So, we’ll see.“
Lala Kent Also Wants to Protect the Girls’ Friendship
Despite her ongoing estrangement from Shay, Kent has also confirmed that she wants the kids’ bond to remain intact.
“Summer and Ocean are still friends,” she revealed on Amazon Live in October 2025. “Ocean writes little notes. This is what’s on my whiteboard right now … It says, ‘I love you, Summer,’ and then it says, ‘Ocean.’”
“They are cute little friends,” the mom of two added. “They have a heyday at school, which I love because they’ve known each other literally since birth, and so that’s a friendship that needs to stay incubated and protected, you know, to the best of our ability.”
Scheana& her assumption of her “good” side lol smh !
Good common sense. When the girls go to different schools they will find other friends too.
Can’t trust Lala ever. She sleeps with anyone, even a friends boyfriend or husband. History proves my point.
I have Always felt that neither of these 2 Ladies, understand the (concept), of how to be a best friend to anyone, they are both constantly in turmoil with someone, it seems neither one is very trustworthy in regards to who they (spill their information too), neither seems to actually know how to be a Trusted Best Friend, they are constantly circling the drain with their friendship. I have had a group of (Best Friends), since I was 13-14 and I am now 56 we don’t even li In the same towns anymore but we still get together at least 5-6 times a year. We are always trying to maintain clear communication and we Live by our Trusted Values and love for one another. There’s ZERO jealousy (unlike Lala and Scheana)!!
