Throughout the show, Conrad tried to navigate her way through the challenges of adulthood and pursue her career aspirations in the fashion industry. At that time, she worked as an intern at Teen Vogue and at Kelly Cutrone’s fashion and lifestyle public relations agency, People’s Revolution. In 2005, Conrad starred in the Laguna Beach spin-off The Hills for five seasons. In Laguna Beach, Conrad was portrayed as a fashionable and confident young woman who was relatable and down-to-earth, despite her privileged upbringing and popularity. The show lasted three seasons, ending in 2006. Laguna Beach followed the lives of teenagers growing up in the affluent community in California, caught up in the dramatics of high school relationships, friendships, and future life plans. The show was a response to the popular Fox show, The O.C. In 2004, Conrad starred in the MTV reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County with her classmates at Laguna Beach High School. Ĭonrad married William Tell, former guitarist for Something Corporate, in 2014 and the couple has two sons named Liam and Charlie. She did not complete her degree and, instead, focused her attention on getting direct experience in the fashion industry. Īfter high school graduation, Conrad attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and transferred after one semester to the Los Angeles Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She has two younger siblings, Breanna and Brandon. Even so, taking a walk down memory lane couldn’t hurt.Lauren Conrad was born on February 1, 1986, in Laguna Beach, California, to parents Jim and Kathy Conrad. Given how, er, rocky Stephen’s romantic relationships played out on Laguna Beach - ahem, the Cancun episode - we don’t blame him for stepping away. “I did the second season for a little bit.” “MTV has asked me, but I think that the first season of Laguna Beach was enough reality television for a couple of lifetimes,” Stephen told Us. With that, the now-podcast host turned down an offer to appear on The Hills reboot.

“We matured a little bit from 17 years old.” I’m 34 years old and I was 17,” Stephen expressed.

In fact, speaking with Us Weekly in March, Stephen revealed that he’s still friendly with both Lauren, 34, and Kristin, 33. In fact, by all accounts, Stephen is flying solo these days, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a solid relationship with his past girlfriends. Since his reality TV days, the former One Tree Hill actor has maintained a pretty low-key love life. As we all know, the California native had the same effect on costars Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari - both of whom dated Stephen at one point or another (more on that later). When it comes to reality TV heartthrobs, few made millennial audiences swoon quite like Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti.
