LOS ANGELES – December 5, 2025 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the launch of “An Unlikely Affair,” the first official series under Lala Kent’s new “Untraditionally Lala” umbrella, a growing podcast slate that will expand within iHeart’s Popworthy lineup of shows. Hosted by reality TV star and entrepreneur Lala Kent alongside actress and producer Ambyr Childers, who’s best known for her roles in “You” and “Ray Donovan,” the new series will build on the success of Kent’s previously launched podcast “Untraditionally Lala,” where Childers made her first appearance earlier this year. “An Unlikely Affair” premieres on January 8, 2026, with the official trailer available now, HERE.

Each week on “An Unlikely Affair,” Lala and Ambyr dive into the realities single mothers face, drawing from a past that once made them sworn enemies after sharing the same ex. In a twist no one saw coming, the two have let go of their history and built an unexpected, deeply honest
friendship. Together, they explore how to navigate major transitions, manage mom guilt while reclaiming their identities, and approach dating and sex in their next chapter. The cohosts share how they reclaimed their happiness and hope their journey inspires listeners to let go of toxicity and rewrite their own narratives.

Kent will continue to host “Untraditionally Lala” with episodes dropping every Wednesday, and bonus content released on Mondays.
“An Unlikely Affair” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts as part of its Popworthy slate, where trending culture and nostalgia intersect. Listen on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
