Whitney Port And Lauren Conrad Get Real About Their Friendship After 'The Hills'

LOADING ERROR LOADING Though Whitney Port and Lauren Conrad were close friends on “The Hills,” fans still wonder if the two are friendly now, nearly a decade after the original show ended. Port, who appeared on the reboot of the hit MTV series last year, recently recorded a conversation with Conrad for her Dear Media podcast, “With Whit.” In the episode, which came out Tuesday, the two got candid about everything, addressing friendship fallout rumors and what Conrad’s life was like after the show. Donato Sardella via Getty Images Port said that she tells people that the way she and Conrad relate to each other now is akin to “friends that you went to college with.” She elaborated: “Good friends that you had really special experiences with, that you always have love for, but that you don’t always keep in touch with. “I think I also felt like once the show was over, you — not that you wanted nothing to do with it, because I know that it wasn’t that — but you tried to remove yourself obviously a little bit because it was so personal for so many years,” Port said, adding that Conrad didn’t want to “have that magnifying glass on your life anymore.” Port said she felt like she “fell into that bucket of, ‘Maybe she just doesn’t really want anything to do with me anymore because I’m part of the show that she wants to kind of move away from.’” Kristin Cavallari, Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Port attend MTV's "The Hills Live: A Hollywood Ending" event in 2010.
