Kristin Cavallari is “thankful” that she and Lauren Conrad could heal their tumultuous friendship.
The reality TV stars repeatedly clashed and had a slew of dramatic moments on MTV’s Laguna Beach, including their love triangle with co-star Stephen Colletti, but getting older has taught Cavallari and Conrad not to holdgrudges over minor things.
Speaking to People before their return in The Reunion: Laguna Beach, Cavallari, 39, said of the pair making peace: “I’m really happy about it. I’m thankful that we had the opportunity to even do that.
“We haven’t had any beefs for the last however many years. We’re adults. We’ve all moved past it, but I think it’s nice and to show everybody that we’ve moved past it is going to be really therapeutic in a lot of ways.
“We squashed it pretty quickly. Everyone wants to still believe that we’re enemies.”
The pair unexpectedly shared “a lot in common” when they got to know each other as grown-ups.
“It’s been great getting to know her now as an adult,” Cavallari said. “And I’ve realised we actually have a lot more in common than I think both of us ever thought. So it’s been interesting to see.”
Conrad, 40, echoed her fellow fashion designer Cavallari’s sentiments and said: “I think it was great.

“It was part of what we wanted to show is that we’ve all grown, we’re all adults, a lot of us are parents. And I think that as you get older, you’re not worried about the small stuff.”
And Conrad has enjoyed being pals with Cavallari after filming wrapped for the reunion special of Laguna Beach, which followed the lives of high school students in Southern California from 2004 until the show’s finale in 2006.
Conrad said: “We’ve been having so much fun just texting and talking and laughing together.”
The Roku Channel released The Reunion: Laguna Beach trailer on Wednesday and it started with the pair sitting by a bonfire on the beach as they reflected on their past.
Cavallari told her co-star: “We have never had a conversation on camera, just the two of us. Are you ready?”
The latter recalled a moment when the cast came together on a set: “They said, ‘Who do you think is gonna be prom queen?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, and I don’t care, as long as it’s not Lauren Conrad’.”
