Why Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad won’t be joining The Hills reboot

Last night, MTV confirmed the news that fans of The Hills have been waiting for.

Fans rejoiced over the news as some of the cast had a mini-reunion on the red carpet at the MTV VMA's on Monday. The show, aptly called The Hills: New Beginnings, is expected to reunite some of the original cast - and hit TV screens sometime in 2019. But it looks like everyone's favourite frenemies - Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari - won't be joining the reboot for some understandable (but wildly different) reasons. A source told People that Lauren "wishes everyone the best", as they confirmed why she won't be taking part in the newly revived series. They said:

“She’s in a different place in her life. “But she wants everyone to enjoy themselves. She wishes everyone the best. “She loves being a mother and focusing on her family and on her work. She has a very full and happy life.”

Since she left the series in the penultimate season back in 2009, the now-32-year-old has been working on her fashion line with Kohl's, running her website and managing a non-profit. She also welcomed her first child, Liam, in 2017. Meanwhile, one of the reasons that Kristin Cavallari won't be joining the series is because of her other show - Very Cavallari.  Her reality TV show with E! follows her life with husband Jay Cutler, as well as her management of her brand, Uncommon James. A source told People:

“She can’t do the show [The Hills reboot] because she has a contract with E!. “But she’s still close with Heidi [Montag] and Spencer [Pratt] and is excited for them.”
