Kristin Cavallari recently shared insights into her relationship with her erstwhile rival, Lauren Conrad.
At the age of 39, Cavallari came together with her fellow Laguna Beach alumni on the red carpet for the premiere of their reunion show.
Speaking to ET, she revealed, referring to 40-year-old Conrad, “We’re friends now and can come together. It’s been wonderful to connect with her as adults.”
Last week the 39-year-old multihyphenate reunited with her Laguna Beach co-stars for the red carpet premiere of their upcoming reunion show.
She told ET about Conrad, 40, ‘We’re buddies now and we can unite. It’s been really nice to have this time to get to know her as an adult.’
And she emphasized elsewhere in the interview, ‘I respect her on so many different levels.’
The MTV reality series ran for three seasons and launched the careers of both Cavallari and Conrad who went on to lead their own TV shows in the years after Laguna Beach’s finale.
While appearing on the original show as teens, Cavallari and Conrad were in a contentious love triangle with castmate Stephen Colletti, 40.

Fans will soon see the women hash out their high school drama more than 20 years after it was broadcast on TV.
‘We have never had a conversation on camera, just the two of us,’ Cavallari says to Conrad in a teaser for the reunion. ‘Are you ready?’
The Uncommon James founder also revealed that Conrad is an upcoming guest on her podcast Let’s Be Honest.
‘She came on my podcast that’s coming out April 7th and it’s just a really good girl chat and it’s been really nice to reconnect with her,’ she shared.
Despite their past rivalry over Colletti, the mom of three reflected, ‘I’m like, wait, why did we hate each other? We have so much in common.’
And she said the trio can now make light of the once intense situation.
‘We can all just laugh at it now. And in a lot of ways, I found it to be therapeutic and we could put some stuff to bed,’ Cavallari reflected about the cast coming together once again.
She previously revealed in October 2025 that she and her former frenemy had become ‘friends’ after filming the reunion.

‘Lauren and I are friends,’ Cavallari announced on an episode of her 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.
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 conflict 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.’
