Lala Kent shared details into Brittany Cartwright’s rumored fling with Julian Sensley, including her estranged husband, Jax Taylor’s reaction.
During the Monday, October 21, episode of the “Give Them Lala” podcast, Lala, 34, claimed that Brittany, 35, and Julian, 42, began seeing one another “during her separation with Jax.” (Brittany filed to divorce Jax, 45, on August 27, however, the pair’s date of separation was listed as January 24.)
Lala then alleged that Jax reached out to her to ask about the rumored fling.
“When Jax first found out [and] this was known amongst the group a while ago … it just made it to press … but I feel a little bad because Jax calls me and he’s like, ‘Did you know this?’ and I’m like, ‘I did, hope you’re ok,’ Lala said before recalling the alleged interaction in a hushed voice, ‘[You] kind of deserved it’.”

While Lala did not offer a detailed timeline on Brittany and Julian’s alleged romance, she did claim that the twosome met when Lala — who also previously dated Julian after her split from Randall Emmett, with whom she shares a daughter, Ocean, 3 — introduced him to Brittany roughly “three years ago.”
“I start bringing him [Julian] around the group… I would bring him on double dates, group dates, so that’s how Jax and Brittany know him,” Lala said during the podcast. “It was like … Jax, Janet [Caperna]’s husband, Jason [Caperna], and then Julian would go. They would go out and have, like, guys nights and Julian would FaceTime me and it was just a nice distraction.”
Lala and Julian’s romance, which began after Julian slid into her Facebook DM after her split from Randall in October 2021, came to an end after she conducted a “background check” on Julian and subsequently sent him “on his way.”
Despite severing ties with Lala, Julian pursued his friendship with Jax and Jason, 40, before he allegedly caught the eye of Brittany. “Brittany starts hooking up with him during her separation with Jax. It comes out, good for her,” Lala claimed.
Lala also went into further detail about the damage caused by men she has introduced Jax to over the years. “I’m like, damn. I first bring a guy into Jax’s life who basically takes 75 grand from him,” said Lala, allegedly referring to Randall, 53. “And then the next guy I bring around f—s his wife. It’s like, I gotta stop bringing dudes around that keep taking from Jax.”
Lala’s candid comments on the podcast also covered Jax’s cryptic, since-deleted June 5 post via X that read, “You may want to ask Brittany who she’s been sleeping with for the past 4 months…” The X post was posted right after the final episode of The Valley season 1, which showed Brittany leaving the former couple’s home with their son, Cruz, 3.

Lala, who is currently single after giving birth to her second child, daughter, Sosa, in September, claimed that Jax was referring to Julian.
“I think that Jax wants to keep the waters calm,” Lala said. “He wants to paint the pretty picture of, even, he goes on his rampages where he wants to out her, but then, it’s like, ‘Oh wait, I’ve got to put my mask back on and create the pretty, we co-parent, she likes me, I’m not a piece of s–t.’”
For her part, Brittany told Us Weekly on October 10 that she is remaining extremely focused on raising Cruz as her divorce from Jax continues. “I’m trying to just, like, you know, focus on my son and he is, like, the light of my life,” she said at the time. “We’re having so much fun together. And it’s a lot, but I’m just smiling my way through it all.”
