‘The Hills’ Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Elope

Fans saw Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s relationship go from on-again to off-again on the show. Their romance drove a wedge between former BFFs (best friends forever) Heidi and Lauren Conrad. In fact, at one point, no one seemed to know if the two were really engaged or not. But now, the two from “The Hills” seem on-again – for good! The two announced to the press that they quietly eloped to Mexico last Thursday, November 20. The marriage occurred at the One & Only Palmilla Resort outside of Cabos San Lucas.

Spencer and Heidi: A Case Study in Breaking Up…or Taking a Break?

What happens when you decide to live together, then you get engaged, but you realize this person may not be the one for you after all? Do you break up? Or do you take a break? In Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag’s case things are further complicated by the fact their relationship has unfolded under the public eye on the show the Hills. Or has it?

Heidi Single and Julianne Sings!

Rumors are circulating that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of “The Hills” are no longer a couple.

Spencer and Heidi: A Case Study in Living Together

A couple weeks back I wrote about a show I watch on MTV called The Hills. It follows the lives of four girls as they deal with friends, careers, dating, and all the other stuff life throws at you in your early twenties. One of the girls is Heidi. Last season she hooked up with a guy named Spencer. They had a tumultuous beginning. He seemed to be two-timing her with one of her good friends, Audrina. (Someone else the show follows.) Then when Heidi was supposed to go out of town but a last minute change kept her in … Continue reading
