Lala welcomed her daughter, Ocean, on March 15, 2021.

“It’s themost beautiful time in my life,” Lala told PEOPLE during aBridgerton-inspired maternity photo shoot ahead of the birth. “The entire experience, from my body changing and creating a miracle, to the way I have changed as a person. … I have never been this excited for anything in my entire life.”

After Ocean’s birth, Lala posted on Instagram about how the little girl reminded her of her late father. “Ocean is beautiful. She looks like you through the eyes,” Lala wrote, addressing her late dad Kent, who died in April 2018. “I think I’m doing a pretty good job so far. I wish you could be here to see it.”

Lala picked her name before she was born

“Randall loved it and it made total sense for the name to be Ocean,” she added, noting that Ocean’s dad was “obsessed with the water,” and so was she.

She motivates Lala to stay sober

Lala celebratedfive years of sobrietyin October 2023, and she credits her daughter as one of the reasons she stays sober.

“Sobriety’s the best giftI’ve ever given to myself, and I can’t allow my daughter to ever see that version of me,” Lala told PEOPLE in September 2023.

“I’m approaching five years of sobriety and my daughter’s 2½, so I stay sober obviously for me, because if you stay sober for someone else, that’s just a recipe for relapse,” she added.

Still, Lala made it clear that she was motivated to stay sober so that Ocean would only know this version of her.

“To think about the fact that my child is always going to see me in this form and never under the influence, you can’t put a price on that. I am very grateful I found sobriety when I did,” Lala told PEOPLE.

She has two older sisters
