Heidi MontagandSpencer Pratttied the knot in2009and are still going strong.
The pair met in 2006 at a nightclub while Montag was filmingThe Hills, and it was love at first sight for the reality star. “I pretty much told everyone I was going to marry him and that I loved him. [Everyone] thought I was crazy,” she toldVICEin 2016.
“When we started, it felt like everyone was trying to break us up, or they thought we were together to be famous,” Pratttold PEOPLEin an exclusive interview in 2019. “But here we are, 10 years later. The [best] thing we ever did is be together.”
In January 2025, Heidi and Spencerlost their homein the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. “I just really want to go home,” Heidi said through tears in aTikTok video. “I’m so homesick.”
From their early beginnings onThe Hillsto walking down the aisle (twice) and having kids together, here’s everything to know about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s relationship.
Montag and Pratt first locked eyes at the now-closed L.A. club Privilege, which was located on theSunset Stripin West Hollywood. Pratt had been visiting the club with his friendBrody Jenner, looking for a way to get a role onThe Hills.
“I was like cartoon goo-goo eyes, heart falling out of my head,” Montag recalled of their first meeting during aninterview with Vice.
Pratt had also fallen for Montag and he began to pursue her. Soon after, he joined Montag onThe Hillsand the two began crafting up dramatic plot lines to turn the attention away from protagonistLauren Conradand onto “Speidi,” their self-dubbed couple name.
“I was treating the show like a producer because I literally just made a show on Fox,” Pratt explained to Vice. “I didn’t know how to be on-camera talent.”

“… they kinda like jacked it from us and turned a promise ring scene into an engagement ring, and it kind of snowballed from there,” Pratt toldCosmopolitanin 2016. “Technically, that was a promise ring.”
During a 2008 trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Montag and Pratttied the knot.
“I was just putting it out there, how easy it would be with no drama,” Pratt shared withUs Weekly. “It was exactly the wedding I wanted.”
“I am surprised and not surprised at the same time,” theirHillscostarAudrina Patridgetold PEOPLE. “They obviously adore each other and are very committed to one another. Heidi and Spencer seem like the types who would want a lavish wedding full of friends and family. I do think it’s very romantic that they eloped.”
When a clip fromThe Hillswas released of Montag and Prattgetting married in a courthouse, fans speculated if the previous month’selopementwas even real.
While speaking toRyan Seacrestin a segment that aired on KISS-FM’sOn Air with Ryan Seacrest, Pratt addressed the controversy and said of the legal documents, “We checked the confidentiality box, so good luck people [in finding out].”

Shortly after meeting in 2006, Montag hired Pratt as her manager. However, she fired him from the position in March 2010.
“No longer is my husband the face of my business or managing my career,” Montag told PEOPLE at the time. “I am going to have [Malibu-based psychic] Aiden Chase help manage my new life and career in a very different and positive way with light and love. The time for change is now. Never mix business and pleasure. We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi.”
In June 2010, Montag and Pratt filed for separation.
“There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space — even away from my husband,” Montag told PEOPLE, saying she needed “to concentrate” on herself. Montag then moved in with her friend, Jen Bunney.

Several weeks after their initial separation, the couple officially filed fordivorce.
“Heidi has amended her petition for separation and today has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt,” Montag’s lawyer Jodeane Farrelltold PEOPLEat the time. “The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner in an out-of-court settlement. Both parties are amicable with each other and over the possibility of finalizing their divorce.”
Despite filing for divorce,the couple were spotted in Costa Ricain August.
“I had to bring the puppies down and help them move in,” Pratt explained to PEOPLE. “[Heidi] thought I was going to leave, but I’m not. I didn’t want to get divorced I have nothing in Malibu, I’m homeless, I’m nothing without her.”

In September, Montag and Pratt called off the divorce, with the couple exclusivelytelling PEOPLE, “We are back together trying to make things work.” The reality stars continued, referencing their brief move to Costa Rica, saying, “[Costa Rica] really put things in perspective. We do love each other and realized we do want to spend the rest of our lives together.”
Montag’s attorney added, “After spending time together over these past several months Heidi and Spencer have decided to reconcile.”
Aftercalling off the divorce, Montag and Prattrenewed their wedding vowsat a beachfront house in Carpinteria, California.
In 2014, it was revealed that Montag and Pratt would appear on WE tv’sMarriage Boot Camp Reality Stars, which was set to premiere in 2015.
Montag said of her splurges, “I was kind of playing house. I felt like I was someone I wasn’t. We had business managers who told us to stop spending but we acted like we knew what we were doing.”
Over the years, the couple had spent nearly their entire fortune on a luxury wardrobe, full staff, expensive dinners, and Pratt’s crystal collection. “I was feeling so alone and defeated,” she shared. “Everyone else on our cast had houses and we had nothing to show for what we’d done. I was like, the haters were right! It was sad.”
They eventually moved into Pratt’s parents' vacation home in Santa Barbara to live rent-free, with Pratt telling PEOPLE, “We haven’t been out to a fancy dinner since our anniversary. If Heidi’s not cooking, we’re eating tacos.”
“Life is so short,” Montag added. “And what matters is being happy with family and marriage and with personal progress. We’re in a really good place.”

“I was feeling nervous last night about it, but I’m excited today,” Montag said in the video before entering the hospital. “And I’m hoping that the surgery works and that this is the only reason I haven’t been able to get pregnant.”
In March 2022, Montag was spottedchewing on a raw bison heartwhile out and about in Los Angeles. The reality star explained to PEOPLE that she was trying new things to help with her fertility issues.
“I love trying new things! I’ve always been very interested in various types of diets,” she said. “When you think about where the most nutrients are that are bio available to humans without toxins, organs are very nutritious parts of animals. Culturally organs are a critical part. Eating raw liver is going to preserve as many nutrients as possible.”
She added that she had been trying to get pregnant with a second child “for over a year and a half.”
“I’m willing to try different things,” she shared. “It’s a great source of nutrients! I have felt incredible on this diet. A lot more energy, clarity, increased libido, and overall improvement on chronic pain I have had.”

Montag shared the news on herInstagram account, posting a photo carousel that included a sweet snap of Gunner cradling his mom’s bump.
“My heart is overflowing with joy! I’m excited to share that I am pregnant! I have been hoping and praying for this moment for so long!” Montag captioned the post. “Once I saw the word ‘pregnant’ I started hysterically crying, overwhelmed with joy and shock and I sprinted upstairs to show Spencer. I couldn’t believe I was pregnant again!”
A month later, the couple revealed that Gunnerwould be getting a little brother. They shared the exciting news during an exclusive video withEntertainment Tonight, and Montag admitted she was not anticipating another boy.
“My whole intuition is off,” she said in the video. “Growing up I always wanted boys and then recently, I kinda started thinking, I don’t know, I kinda want a girl and having one of each.” She noted that Gunner really wanted a brother, though, and that she wanted whatever “would be the best for him and his life.”
“I’m so excited for Gunner to have a sibling,” Montag said. “He loves babies, he’s been asking me for a sibling for so long. So to have this new love and this new relationship that he gets to have and that we all get to have is amazing.”
