Kristin Cavallari cozies up to ex former frenemy Lauren Conrad at Laguna Beach reunion premiere

3 weeks ago 14

Kristin Cavallari reunited with her former frenemy Lauren Conrad at the premiere of the upcoming Laguna Beach reunion special on Thursday night.

The Reunion: Laguna Beach, which is set to release on the Roku Channel on April 10, revisits the iconic MTV series that followed the lives of real-life teenagers from California's affluent Orange County.

The show ran for three seasons and launched the careers of both Cavallari, 39, and Conrad, 40, who earned their own TV shows in the years after Laguna Beach's finale.

While on Laguna Beach, Cavallari and Conrad found themselves in a contentious love triangle with hunky castmate Stephen Colletti, 40.

But now, 22 years after the show's heyday on MTV, it appears that Cavallari and Conrad have moved past their teenage feud.

The ladies, both dressed in striking white outfits, cuddled up together on the red carpet and flashes beaming smiles for photographers.

'We have never had a conversation on camera, just the two of us,' Cavallari told her former co-star. 'Are you ready?'

Laguna Beach creator Liz Gateley was also on hand for the festivities 

Conrad turned to look at Cavallari and simply answered, 'No.'

In a separate moment as the cast gathered together on a set, Cavallari recalled, 'They said, "Who do you think is gonna be prom queen?" And I said, "I don't know and I don't care, as long as it's not Lauren Conrad."'

Conrad further chimed in with, 'We did not like each other.'

Their previous feud on Laguna Beach developed with their love triangle with Colletti - who also took part in the anticipated reunion.

However last year in October, the pair revealed that they had pushed aside the drama and are now 'friends' again after filming the reunion.

'Lauren and I are friends,' Cavallari stated during an episode of her Let's Be Honest With Kristin Cavallari podcast.

'I just got back from Laguna. I filmed the Laguna Beach reunion which was awesome. I don't even know what I'm allowed to say or not say... It was such a great time.'

The star added that the reunion had been 'really healing in a lot of ways,' despite not wanting to take part initially.

'We have never had a conversation on camera, just the two of us,' Cavallari told her former co-star. 'Are you ready?'

That same month, Cavallari shared an Instagram photo as both she and Conrad posed together with big smiles on their faces.

In the caption she wrote: 'Everyone can put away their team Lauren and team Kristin shirts now.'

Back in 2022, both stars also briefly talked about their past drama on the Back To The Beach podcast.

'My take on it is, you and I never really had any beef,' Cavallari expressed.

'Obviously there was a little truth to what happened with the three of us, but I felt like MTV coming kept it alive and made it way worse than it ever would have been.'

Conrad added that while they did have a bit of drama before filming began, the pair had already made up when cameras started to roll.

'It was like the week before they started filming, we got into it and then made up. And it was fine. And they came… I don't think we were best friends, but we were fine,' the designer continued.

Cavallari later said, 'They really hammered the love triangle home,' which prompted Conrad to say, 'They really did. They didn't want me to have anything else.'

'Obviously there was a little truth to what happened with the three of us, but I felt like MTV coming kept it alive and made it way worse than it ever would have been,' Cavallari said

While recently talking to Entertainment Weekly ahead of the reunion's release, Conrad admitted that she felt 'embarrassment' over her behavior as a teen on the show.

'I think, for a while, I had a lot of embarrassment about some of my behavior as an 18-year-old, things I would say or do.'

The media personality added, 'But I also think that that unfiltered thing we had was one of the reasons the show did really well. We weren't super self-aware.

'We hadn't really seen a show like this before, so we didn't know what was getting used or not used. I think that's what actually made it feel more authentic.'

Conrad continued, 'I think I'm finally at the place now where I can laugh at it and say I was 18. I've hopefully grown since then.'

Elsewhere in the trailer that dropped on Tuesday, Cavallari expressed, 'For all of us, it was hard to revisit for different reasons. It just feels like the right time now.'

The former cast was also seen shedding tears as they reflected on past events on the show, with Colletti adding, 'This is a serious full circle moment.'

The teaser concluded as the stars sat around a bonfire together on the sandy shore of a beach.

Colletti then asked, 'Did anybody think 20 years ago, when we last left the bonfire, that we were gonna come back and actually reunite here and have this moment?'
