Randall Emmett is keeping his professional distance from ex-fiancée Lala Kent.

The movie producer, 51, revealed he won’t be returning for the upcoming 10th season of Regras de Vanderpump after he and Kent, 32, broke off their three-year engagement Outubro passado.

While sharing the news in an interview with O sol, Emmett also admitted he “never wanted to be on” the Bravo reality series in the first place.

“I respect the success of Vanderpump and I really wish all the people on that show [sucesso],” Emmett said. “I’m friends still with some of them. I just think what they’ve created is amazing and I give them so much love and praise, but in my life, I’m focused on my children and focused on making films.”

Kent previously told PEOPLE that season 10 will be “the year of burning bridges,” adding that it’s “hard to relive because it’s our real life,” mas “I’m excited for people to see this season.”

“It’s going to be absolutely insane,” Kent said in October. “And without giving away too much, I feel like with everything that happened, and cast members who have exited, we finally have our footing again.”

News of Emmett and Kent’s dividir was first announced in October 2021 after the producer was photographed out with two women em Nashville.

Cinco meses depois, Kent alleged on Instagram that Emmett had “started a relationship with a 23-year-old in March of 2021 — the month I deu à luz” para sua filha Ocean Kent, 21 meses.

Nesse mesmo mês, Emmett claimed that they were both responsible for the split as he appeared on the Genuinely GG podcast.

“Eu cometi erros, she’s made mistakes, but I’m never going to bring that to light because that’s just not right. Para mim, I just don’t feel it’s appropriate,” ele disse. “I can’t tell her what to do. She’s a strong woman, and I just hope that in time that kind of all mellows out.”
