After leaving The Hills in 2009, Lauren Conrad stepped away from reality television to focus on building her fashion empire. And while she has mostly lived a life out of the spotlight ever since, she shocked fans when she decided to revisit her time on Laguna Beach for a new reunion special, which premieres on Friday, April 10.
While Laguna Beach gave Conrad her start, The Hills was what transformed her into one of reality TV’s biggest stars, but she has no interest in returning to that time period in her life.
