Heidi Montag at the PURE Nightclub event

Biography

Heidi Montag was born on Sep tember 15, 1986, to restaurant owners in Crested Butte, Colorado, the second of three children. Out of high school, she says she studied fashion in Italy for a year before moving to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art. It was a fateful decision, since it was there where she met Lauren Conrad. Neither would finish at the Academy; rather, they both moved south to L.A. to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and moved into an apartment together.

In 2005, Heidi Montag dropped out of the Institute, claiming it wasn’t sufficiently challenging, to take an internship with Bolthouse Productions. The internship ultimately led to a position as an event planner with the company.

Her association with Lauren Conrad landed Heidi Montag on a few episodes of Laguna Beach, but it was the developing friendship between the two that landed her a featured role on that show’s spin off, The Hills, which premiered at the end of May 2006.

From there, her profile mushroomed, thanks in large part to her developing relationship with The Hills costar Spencer Pratt and deterioration of her friendship with Lauren Conrad. The public explanation for her feud with Lauren Conrad is too banal to be believed, and it has kept them both on the front pages of gossip magazines and websites for well over a year. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have also become the young Hollywood power couple people love to hate.
