From Reality TV Dissociation to Wellness Entrepreneurship, former reality television cast members have taken vastly different paths long after their days on MTV. While some cast members initially sought total separation from the franchise, career changes often paved the way for entirely new professional and personal chapters.
Years ago, Lauren Conrad’s close friend signaled she preferred to be excluded from the reality television narrative. When an executive gauged her interest in returning to The Hills, she bluntly refused. Reflecting on the proposition during a 2018 episode of her Lady Lovin’ podcast, she recalled her reaction: I was like, ‘F–k no!’
She added, I don’t want any association with any of those people. The dissociation from all those people is what I’m hungry for.
Transition to Wellness Entrepreneurship
Following her departure from the reality television sphere, the International Culinary Center graduate and The Lo-Down author shifted into a completely different career path. Now based in New York City, she founded Love Wellness, a line of personal care products for women, in 2016.
Regarding her former co-stars, she told E! News in 2024 that she is not in constant touch with a ton of people from the show. I don’t know a lot of people that are still on a day-to-day basis with people that they went to high school with,
she noted, adding that aside from Lauren, she remains very friendly with everybody and would enthusiastically give them a big hug if she saw them.
Marriage and Family Life
The wellness founder’s personal life reached new milestones with her marriage and growing family. In July 2025, she announced that she and businessman Domenic “Dom” Natale had gotten married in an intimate Laguna Beach wedding held with our closest family members.
The couple subsequently expanded their family by welcoming their daughter, Nelle, in January 2026. Reflecting on her journey, she shared her contentment with E!, stating, I have grown into the life that I always dreamed for myself. I’ve achieved a lot. So, for me, it’s just about maintaining my status quo: Happy, healthy, family and great spirits, and spend a lot of time with people that I care about.
