The Bravo universe is in full gossip mode again—this time over Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz.
Fans of Vanderpump Rules were sent into a social media spiral this week after a viral post claimed the two reality stars have been frequently spotted at a cozy Los Angeles bistro, with Schwartz supposedly “always picking up the tab.”
Naturally, the dating rumors exploded.
“Are they secretly together?”
“Is Lala soft-launching Schwartz??”
“This duo low-key makes sense.”
But according to sources close to both stars, we’ve got some truth to spill—and it might surprise you.
TMZ: There’s No Romance—Just Really Good Vibes
Despite the internet detective work, insiders tell TMZ that Lala and Schwartz are not dating. In fact, they never have been romantically involved.
“They’ve got chemistry, sure,” one source said.
“But it’s a friendship—period. No strings. No secret romance.”
So yes, the dinner dates are real. The laughs? Real.
The flirty energy? Probably real, too.
But the romance? 100% not happening.
