Lauren Conrad faced some major awkwardness on Wednesday’s episode of“Today,”as she was asked about her former rival, Spencer Pratt, who’s now running for mayor of Los Angeles. The show’s hosts, Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones, prompted a discussion about whether she would support Spencer’s political aspirations. However, Lauren quickly sidestepped the question, claiming, “I’m not a resident of Los Angeles,” which hinted at her reluctance to dive into the topic.
Things took an even more uncomfortable turn when Kristin Cavallari expressed her fondness for Spencer, stating she thinks he has something worthwhile to say. Viewers could practically feel the tension shift as Lauren awkwardly stared at Kristin across the couch, clearly unsettled by her endorsement. When Jenna pressed Lauren about mending fences with Spencer, she hesitated and offered a vague response, admitting she hadn’t spoken to him in decades. Old rivalries may fade, but they clearly linger in the air—even on live television.
As fans of reality TV know, the past can often haunt these stars, leaving everyone wondering if reconciliation is on the horizon or if the awkward exchanges have only just begun. What do you think—are Lauren and Spencer doomed to remain distant memories of each others’ reality show pasts?
