Lala Kent, 31, ended her engagement to Randall Emmett, 51, in October amid allegations he cheated on her while on a trip to Nashville.

The cheating allegations came to light after pictures of Emmett, two decades Kent’s senior, surfaced of him going into a hotel room with two women while down south.

On March 3, 2022, Lala took to Instagram’s comments section on a post by One Mom’s Struggle, where she alleged that her ex-fiancé had actually already started dating a 23-year-old around the time they welcomed their daughter in March 2021.

Now, the two are embattled in a bitter battle over the future of the little girl.

Katie Maloney filed for divorce from husband Tom Schwartz in March, just one week after announcing their shocking split after over a decade together.

Katie, 35, filed court documents on March 22 at LA County Superior Court to officially divorce from Tom, 39.

Katie and Tom announced their breakup via separate Instagram posts, after The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that their relationship was on the rocks.

The couple had fueled breakup rumors for weeks after the podcast host shared cryptic quotes about divorce and showed off photos that emphasized her without a wedding ring.

Throughout their 12 years together, many of their highs and lows played out on-camera – including his infidelity that was revealed two years after they wed.

According to a report from Us Weekly: “Apparently there was some heavy drinking involved” at the reception.

“They made out,” the insider revealed about Rachel, 27, and Tom.

The source added that they heard “through the grapevine” that “more happened” between them as well.

In April, a fan claimed Raquel and Tom – both newly single – had made out at Coachella, per Us Weekly.

They wrote in a social media post: “Tom Schwartz and Raquel boldly holding hands and making out. The comfort level between these two wasn’t a first-time hookup. I’m shocked. Didn’t grab a picture but I’m sure someone did.”

“Guys hate to break it to you but I wasn’t at Coachella,” Tom tweeted in response – one month after his shock split from Katie.
