Where are they now? The original cast of The Hills, 16 years later.

In the mid-00s, there was a group of friends in Los Angeles, California, that we all became mildly obsessed with.

Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Heidi Montag, to name a few, became household names because of their friendships, relationships and drama (so much drama) that regularly unfolded on the MTV reality TV show The Hills.

Watch the trailer for The Hills sequel, The Hills: New Beginnings. Post continues below.

Now, it's been 16 years since the first episode aired in 2006. So what have they all been doing?

Here's what the original cast of The Hills has been up to since the show ended.

Since appearing on her first reality TV show, Laguna Beach, in her teens, Conrad went on to star as a lead character in the LA-based reality TV show, The Hills, but towards the end of the show, she decided that it was time to move on from television and start exploring some new career endeavours.

Since the show, Conrad has written seven books, including L.A. Candy which became a New York Times bestseller. She also opened a nonprofit shop called The Little Market, which distributes handmade pieces created by women and started her own clothing line, LC Lauren Conrad.

In 2019, she started her own podcast, Asking for A Friend. And earlier this year, she launched her own fragrance, LOVED by Lauren Conrad. (Yep, busy woman.)

Ever so quietly, Lo Bosworth - who was Lauren Conrad's best friend on the show - has created a beauty empire.

Since reality TV, she started her own website in 2010 called The Lo Down by Lo Bosworth, and then released a book of the same name in 2011.

In 2013, she started her own YouTube channel that had mass success, and in 2016, she launched Love Wellness, a women's wellness and personal care brand. According to The Cut, the brand was making over eight figures in revenue in 2019.

In March 2021, Bosworth shared on Instagram that she suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by a restaurant door falling on her head in 2019.

These days, Bosworth continues to work as the CEO of Love Wellness. And not so quietly, she prefers this life to the one she had before.

"I own and operate a business, go to work every day, and have built a normal life for myself," Bosworth told The Cut in April 2021.

"It’s better than what I experienced before. I can never take back being in the public eye. I can only manage it on an ongoing basis by being the best person for myself and other people. My life is so much better now."

In June, she announced she's written a book, Love Yourself Well: An Empowering Wellness Guide to Supporting Your Gut, Mind, and Vagina.

In July 2022, Montag announced she and Pratt are expecting their second child after almost two years trying to conceive. 

"I couldn't be more excited. I don't know who I'm the most excited for – myself or Gunner or Spencer," Montag told Us Weekly. 

"I just felt like something was missing. I felt like a person was missing in our family that I had this intense love for. And I kept praying about it. I'm like, if I’m not meant to have another kid – because I had accepted that at this point – I just wanted to not have that desire so strongly and I just wasn’t sure if it was going to happen or not. I just get so emotional about it."

She's due to give birth in December.

After a whirlwind time on The Hills, Stephanie Pratt, Spencer Pratt's sister, moved from California to the UK. In 2013, she appeared on various UK reality TV shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Made in Chelsea. 

After a break from the show, Pratt returned to Made in Chelsea during its eighth season and started a relationship with her co-star Josh Shepherd. However, they ended their relationship in 2015.

In 2019, she announced she was joining the cast of The Hills sequel, however, she didn't return for season two.

In April 2021, new drama unfolded between Stephanie Pratt, her brother Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag. 

After Montag uploaded a photo of herself in a bikini to her Instagram story, Stephanie Pratt commented: "Yay Heidi’s pregnant!! I hope she has a little girl this time."

After fans asked whether Montag was pregnant, Spencer Pratt replied: "Heidi is not pregnant. Just being body shamed."

The complicated relationship between the Pratt siblings and Montag is nothing new.

In 2021, Spencer Pratt said that his sister would not be in his son's life.

"I have the same relationship and opinion about my sister as I did in 2005," Pratt said on the Juicy Scoop podcast.

"She's a great aunt to my older sister's kids, but we [have] not [been] close for 15, almost 20 years - so long that she wouldn't be in Gunner's life." 

Pratt now divides her time between London and LA but has taken a step back from the limelight.

Brody Jenner

Brody Jenner has always been in the spotlight. With two famous parents, Linda Thompson and Caitlyn Jenner, and famous step and half-sisters, the Kardashians, Jenner's name has always been known. 

In 2016, Jenner proposed to his girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter in Bali, Indonesia. And two years later, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the same location. 

Jenner later confirmed that he and Carter were never legally married in the US. In 2019, the couple split after five years together. Shortly after they separated, Carter was spotted kissing Miley Cyrus on an overseas holiday.

During season two of The Hills: New Beginnings, Jenner opened up about the situation for the first time. 

"The whole lesbian thing was gnarly because in our entire relationship, you never expressed that you had any interest in females whatsoever," Jenner said to Carter.

"I think I had never met somebody that I was into," Carter replied.

These days, Jenner owns his own seltzer brand called Mamitas and is dating a professional surfer, Tia Blanco.
