Excuse Me, But Kristin And Stephen From ‘Laguna Beach’ Revealed They Recently Smooched
I go through TV phases and right now, I’m way too into Laguna Beach: a show I haven’t watched since I was a young teen.
Some youngens who didn’t experience the highs and lows of early ’00s reality TV may be asking right now: what the hell is Laguna Beach? WELL WELL, gather around my children. Laguna Beach was actually the predecessor to the more successful and longer running spin-off series, The Hills.
Long before The Hills, Lauren Conrad (aka LC) and Kristin Cavallari started their TV careers while they were still high schoolers on Laguna Beach, which was one of the pioneering examples of scripted reality television.
Back when the reality show debuted in 2004, most of the drama surrounded a love triangle between LC, Kristin, and future One Tree Hill star, Stephen Colletti. If you grew up in the ’00s, then you probably had a filthy crush on Stephen — because, same!
When I was 16, I thought Stephen colletti from Laguna Beach: The Real OC was the hottest guy in the world. Sad to say: all my exes look like him. Thanks mtv. You really screwed up my gay dating life. FOREVER.

The first two seasons (the third was a dud) relied heavily on the drama of Stephen straying from his on/off relationship with Kristin, as he continuously flirted with LC. Kristin was no angel either: she made for one of the most iconic reality villains ever, as she often acted like an entitled brat (her whole ‘I need a new car!’ scene is still branded in my brain) while carelessly breaking guys’ hearts along the way.
Almost 10 years since Laguna Beach first aired, Kristin and Stephen have reunited to dissect the influential series for their new podcast, Back to the Beach.

In one of the first episodes, Kristin acknowledged that she wasn’t always her best self on the series. “I said some dumb stuff. I looked like a little brat,” she cringed.
Along with doing the podcast together, Kristin and Stephen posted a Q&A and they spilled some real tea. “When was the last time we kissed?” Stephen posed. “I’ll f**king spill it,” Kristin replied. Oop!

Kristin dropped a bombshell: these two kissed as recently as last year. “About a year and a half ago when I went to Laguna Beach, we went on a date and we made out,” Kristin confirmed.
UMM, EXCUSE ME.
Stephen then made fun of how casually Kristin dropped this news. She clarified that she had “brought my kids to Laguna, we hung out, it had been, God, like 10 years since we had seen each other.” Stephen added they had consumed “a couple of drinks,” before the makeout session commenced.
I don’t care how it happened but I am just overjoyed that it did. I’m not the only one either, as Kristin’s The Hills costar Heidi Montag wrote on the video, “This is one of the best things I have seen!” Amen.
So what does this mean for the future of Kristin and Stephen? I’m just saying that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck dated until 2004 and despite going their seperate ways and having kids — they recently reunited and got married. Stranger things have happened!
