We only know Lala Kent's fiancé, Randall Emmett, as he is today: as a husband-to-be, a father to two young girls, a producer of an Oscar-nominated film, and now a director. But we didn't realize how much we didn't know about Randall, who is set to make his debut on Vanderpump Rules on the Tuesday, February 25 episode, until we did a deep dive into his Instagram.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Apparently, Randall is not shy about sharing the occasional throwback. And that proved lucky for us, because we got to see what he was like in basically every decade, leading up until now. So sit back and enjoy this trip through Randall's history. We will start at the beginning.

Apparently, before Randall became a producer/director, he was first interested in becoming an actor.  "Yes this was me as young child in the arts. I did get bullied as a kid and that was a hard road at times but today I celebrate who I am today," he wrote, crediting his parents with always supporting his dreams.

The early-aughts vibes are real with this photo from the set of Speedway Junky, which Randall produced in 2001.

We're not sure the time lapse between the two photos above, but it's clear that Rand and Mark Wahlberg have been tight over the past few decades.

Randall definitely has friends in high places.

Now this photo with 50 Cent is definitely a throwback... need we say more?

No matter how many cool opportunities Randall's had throughout his life, it's clear that the role that makes him smile the biggest is being a dad.
