It only took 18 years, but Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad, aka two-thirds of the Laguna Beach love triangle that preoccupied many a millennial’s life in the mid-aughts, have reunited. They’re now back together for an apology-filled conversation that should finally squash the Team Lauren/Team Kristin rivalry once and for all.
In case you haven’t been keeping up, Kristin and her high school ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti have been co-hosting a Laguna Beach rewatch podcast called Back to the Beach. It’s been surprisingly enlightening thus far, as they’ve revisited Season 1 of the MTV reality soap and spilled on what was “real” and what wasn’t (spoiler: a lot wasn’t).
On the latest episode, which dropped Tuesday morning, the pair reunited with Laguna and The Hills fan-favorite lead Lauren, aka LC, to talk through all their high school drama. Lauren, of course, was Laguna’s Season 1 narrator and the angel to Kristin’s devil (at least, according to MTV’s savvy editors), who pined for Stephen amid his tumultuous, on-again off-again relationship with Kristin.
