Lauren Conrad found herself in an unexpectedly tense moment during a recent "Today" show appearance when the conversation turned to her former reality TV nemesis, Spencer Pratt.
Conrad was appearing alongside Kristin Cavallari, with whom she recently reconciled after years of public friction stemming from their "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" days. The atmosphere seemed comfortable until co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones broached the topic of Pratt, who is currently running for mayor of Los Angeles.
When asked if she would vote for Pratt in the mayoral race, Conrad quickly deflected, stating, "I'm not a resident of Los Angeles." The moment grew more awkward when Cavallari chimed in with unexpected support for Pratt, saying, "I will always have a soft spot for Spencer. I think he's great."
You can see Lauren just staring at Kristin from across the couch, fully turned away from the hosts as they tried to redirect the conversation.
Caught off guard by Cavallari's response, Conrad appeared momentarily disoriented before acknowledging she was "thrown off" by her co-star's answer. When Bush Hager pressed again about whether Conrad had resolved her longstanding issues with Pratt—who famously worked to sabotage her friendship with his wife, Heidi Montag—Conrad stumbled over her words before offering a tepid, "Sure."
She elaborated with a telling remark: "You're asking me about people I haven't spoken to in decades." The hosts acknowledged the fairness of her response before swiftly changing the subject.
The exchange highlighted that while Conrad has mended fences with Cavallari, her relationship with Pratt remains firmly in the past. Pratt's current political ambitions have brought their decades-old reality TV drama back into the spotlight, revealing that some wounds from their "Hills" era may not have fully healed.
