Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad Repaired Friendship During ‘Laguna Beach’ Reunion: It Was ‘Healing’

Former rivals Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad have no ill will towards each other, over two decades after their hit show Laguna Beach hit the airwaves.

The Uncommon James founder, 38, and The Hills alum, 39, mended their relationship during the recent filming of the show’s reunion.

Laguna Beach premiered in 2004 on MTV, lasting three seasons . It also starred Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero and Stephen Colletti as high schoolers going through life in Orange County, California. Cavallari and Conrad’s love triangle with Colletti, 39, was a main storyline on the show.

On the October 21 episode of her Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari podcast, the Very Cavallari alum simply declared: “Lauren and I are friends.”

“I just got back from Laguna. I filmed the Laguna Beach reunion, which was awesome,” she said.

Cavallari went on:  “I don’t even know what I’m allowed to say or not say … It was such a great time.”

While she didn’t want to attend the reunion at first, Cavallari changed her mind and noted that the episode was “really healing in a lot of ways.”

“It was very therapeutic. And I think it’s funny because, if I’m being completely honest, I didn’t actually want to do it. And I’m really, really happy that I did,” she concluded. “It was such a great experience. And just a nice way, I think, to end the whole, like, Laguna Beach of it all.”

Fans went into a frenzy on October 11 when Cavallari  took to Instagram and shared a photo of her and Conrad smiling together.

“Everyone can put away their team Lauren and team Kristin shirts now,” she joked in the caption.

The Laguna Beach reunion special is expected to air sometime in 2026 on the Roku Channel.
