Confident Queen! Ariel Winter Goes Braless at the Grocery Store in L.A.
She’s come a long way! Heidi Montag first appeared on our television screens in 2006 and has been through a lot since then. The Hills starlet got married, had a lot of plastic surgery done, ended her relationship with former best friend Lauren Conrad and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Heidi decided to appear on the reboot of the MTV series this past summer, and it seems like she is in a great spot. Scroll through the gallery below to see her amazing transformation.

Something New
Lauren recruited Heidi, 33, to star on the show with her in 2006. But the blonde beauty was quick to learn about what it was like to make a reality television show. “Early on, producers wanted real reactions within scripted moments,” Heidi told Us Weekly in 2016. “I didn’t know I was ‘crashing’ Lauren’s work party. The producers just told us to show up. After that, Lauren was like, ‘Sorry you looked like the lame friend.’ And I said, ‘I don’t care! I’m on TV, girl!’”

Love Is in the Air
New love interests were introduced in season 2 including Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt, whom Heidi ended up marrying in 2009. “Brody and I found out they were filming at Area, and we got the table next to them,” the 36-year-old confessed.

Rumors
Unfortunately, Heidi had a falling out with her bestie Lauren, 33, after she supposedly leaked that Lauren had a sex tape with then-boyfriend, Jason Wahler. Their friendship also started unraveling before that since Lauren was not a fan of Spencer. “I was upset because I was just unjustly portrayed as something I wasn’t,” she said. “She was my best friend, and she wouldn’t give me more of a conversation.”

Feuds
Of course, when the show got picked up again in 2019, fans wanted to know what Heidi thought about Lauren. “Sometimes things happen that will change how you feel about people, and sometimes it’s permanent,” she told Cosmopolitan magazine in March. “I thought with Lauren and me, we would’ve been friends again.”

Bye, Bye!
But Heidi — who is the mom to her son, Gunner, 23 months — was happier that Lauren wasn’t on The Hills reboot. “I actually was kind of excited Lauren wasn’t on it because I felt like it was more freeing and fair, like, for me,” she said on Good Morning America in June. “She was always the one — she’s the leader, the one that would tell you what to do, what not to do.”

She added, “So, now it’s kinda like we all get … You kinda get to make your own choices and be your own self.”

Making It Official
Spencer and Heidi eloped to Mexico and tied the knot on November 20, 2008. Afterward, a wedding ceremony was held for the couple on April 25, 2009, in Pasadena, California. Of course, their cast members including Stephanie Pratt, Brody, Frankie Delgado, Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge were in attendance. And, surprise! Lauren also showed up for a little bit. “I sat through the wedding, and then walked out the side doors,” Lauren said. “That’s why in the final scene, I’m not leaving with everyone else.”

New Look
Before season 6 started filming, Heidi had 10 plastic surgeries — liposuction, breast augmentation, a brow lift and more. “I think I look way better, and I’m way happier,” the starlet told People magazine at the time. “Nobody ages as perfectly, so I plan to keep using surgery to make as perfect as I can be.”

Different Outlook
These days, Heidi has a different outlook on plastic surgery. “I was way too young to make such a life-changing decision,” she told Cosmo. She admitted she “was under so much pressure because it was the beginning of comment sections and negativity and hate on the internet.”

Peer Pressure
She continued, “I was also on TV where every perceived flaw is amplified,” she said. “I think I looked in the mirror a little too much. I wish I had waited and not made a decision so young because I have long-term health complications.”

So Supportive
The crystal guru was supportive of his wife through the whole ordeal, though. “I was there for every second, so I know all about that journey,” he told Cosmo. “Let me just tell any ladies and gentlemen and gender nonconforming folks out there — just everyone: The phrase ‘minor surgical procedure’ does not exist. That’s the hard lesson we learned. There’s no such thing as one minor surgical procedure. And there’s certainly no such thing as 10 minor surgical procedures.”

Money Honey
Spencer and Heidi went on to star in two more reality shows including the British version of Celebrity Big Brother in 2013 and Marriage Boot Camp in 2015. The duo got candid about how rich they were. “It’s really easy to spend millions of dollars if you’re not careful, and you think it’s easy to keep making millions of dollars,” he told Money. “The money was just coming so fast and so easy that my ego led to believe that, ‘Oh, this is my life forever.’”

Back to Normal Life
“Reacclimating off that high of that fame and lifestyle was hard,” Heidi told Complex in 2015. “We had these expectations of, ‘Oh, we’re going to have our own show.’ My expectation of life and where I thought we were going to be is so different from our reality.”

Hot Mama
The parents welcomed their son, Gunner, in October 2017. “I feel like I am stronger than I’ve ever been emotionally,” she told Paper magazine. “At the end of the day, I’m his mom, and that’s my main priority.”

Next Journey
“I’ve always wanted a family,” she confessed. “I’ve been with Spencer for 11 years now, so I told him, ‘You had me alone for 10 straight years.’ We have a great marriage, and it was the perfect time for us to move into this next chapter.”

They Do … Again!
Even though many people doubted their relationship would last, the Hollywood stars have proved everyone wrong. During the season 1 finale, Heidi and Spencer renewed their vows. “I’m just going to enjoy this. 10 years is a huge milestone,” she said. “Everything we’ve been through — made lots of money, lost lots of money, all the ups, all the down. Maybe we could be a good example to some other couples.”

Sparks Fly
“Heidi and I hit it off so much on our first night meeting each other,” the dad of one echoed. “Then, we kissed that first night. She knew we were getting married.”

Couple Goals
In the end, it seemed like everything worked out for Heidi and her man. “When we started, it felt like everyone was trying to break us up, or they thought we were together to be famous,” Spencer told People. “But here we are, 10 years later. The [best] thing we ever did is be together.” It’s so true — #Speidi forever.
