Longtime Vanderpump Rules viewers remember James and Lala’s short-lived romance. It didn’t end well. In a heated argument, Lala told James, “You're still sitting there loving the fact that you got to f— Lala. Good for you, baby. The only successful thing you'll ever have in your life."

But years have passed since their onscreen standoff and they’re on much better terms. In fact, Lala referred to her former frenemy with benefits as one of her “best friends.” However, they’re not dating (at least not yet, anyway).

On the Jan. 11 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked if there was any chance that the two would rekindle their old flame, to which James responded, “Honestly, after everything I have been through, I never say never to anything, so yeah."

Lala applauded his answer but ultimately disagreed, saying, “So much has changed since we got together [and] I don't think James Kennedy is ready to be a stepdad.”

Though they’ve had their reservations about one another in the past, James offered his support to Lala after her breakup with Randall. After Randall’s cheating allegations surfaced online, James told Andy Cohen, “Randall and I have come a long way [but] obviously my loyalty stands with Lala, no matter what.”

“Honestly, I don’t know much [about the breakup]," he added. "I just wish them the best. I don’t really like to dip deep into their business."

For now, it appears that the relationship between James and Lala is strictly platonic. After all, Lala is focused on being a single parent to daughter Ocean, and James and Raquel called off their engagement only very recently.
