'The Hills' Cast Then and Now: Remarkable journey of TV stars from 'insanely watchable' MTV reality show
Where is the 'The Hills' cast today?
The MTV reality program 'The Hills,' which aired from May 31, 2006, to July 13, 2010, was hailed for being "insanely watchable." The popular series is a mix of comedy and drama and focuses on the fascinating and tumultuous lives of young people in Los Angeles. The program included cameos by famous celebs, including Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian which took the viewers by surprise. The show's characters were quite likable, for instance, it is said that Lauren Conrad received the highest pay since she was the most recognizable figure. There has been much discussion on the show's veracity. The series is a mix of fictional and genuine, which heightened viewers' interest and curiosity. Adam DiVello created the six-season series, a spin-off of 'Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County,' while Liz Gateley and Sean Travis served as executive producers. The MTV program, which included celebrities including Brody Jenner, Heidi Montag, and Lauren Conrad, came to an end in 2010, but a reboot, titled 'The Hills: New Beginnings,' debuted in 2019. Let's look at the incredible journeys and relationships of the TV stars who have now gone on to various industries.
Lauren Conrad
Before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion on the first season of 'The Hills,' Lauren Conrad initially gained fame on the MTV program 'Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.' Over the duration of her five-season run, LC struggled with her relationships and close friends. Conrad married William Tell, a lawyer, with whom she had two children after she ended the series in 2009. The celebrity has changed a lot since she appeared on the reality program. She debuted the LC Lauren Conrad brand at Kohl's in 2009, then in 2011 the Paper Crown line. Additionally, in 2009, she released her debut novel, which was on the New York Times bestseller list. She is now the author of eight more books.
Whitney Port
One of the main characters in 'The Hills,' Whitney Port is an actor, fashion designer, and writer who rose to fame in Seasons 1 through 4. She collaborated with Kelly Cutrone's People's Revolution and Teen Vogue when the series was still in its early stages. Port, who also hosts the podcast With Whit, married 'The City' producer Tim Rosenman in November 2015, and the couple welcomed a son in July 2017, People reports.

She was employed by Quixote Studios and Epic Records when the series was being created. Patridge made a cameo in the 2019 reboot as well. Her marriage to Corey Bohan in November of the same year and the birth of their first child together in June of 2016 made for an emotionally charged connection in real life as well. However, Patridge requested a restraining order and filed for divorce in September 2017. She eventually made amends with Ryan Cabrera, but they later broke up as well, according to People.

Heidi Montag was a prominent cast member on all six seasons of 'The Hills.'
