The Reunion: Laguna Beach will air in the US on April 10 and will feature plenty of the OG cast, including Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips, Dieter Schmitz, and more.
The series (famously inspired by The OC, the show that made Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, Ben McKenzie and Mischa Barton household names) followed the lives of the wealthy teens of the Southern Californian town as they navigated heartbreak, love and changing friendships during their final years of high school.
Laguna Beach also inspired spin-offs The Hills and The City.
So, what have the cast been up to since the show finished in 2006? Let’s take a look.
Lauren Conrad
Lauren finished high school in the first season of Laguna Beach and would later enrol at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and land an internship with Teen Vogue, which fans will, of course, know because it was the premise behind her spinoff, The Hills.
Lauren left the show in 2009 and left reality TV, launching a lifestyle blog, a clothing line with Kohl’s and a makeup and beauty brand, Lauren Conrad Beauty.
From 2009 to 2013, she also released a series of young adult novels called L.A. Candy and Sweet Little Lies. She also released a beauty and style guide in 2012, which was titled Lauren Conrad Beauty.
In 2013, she co-founded a fair trade online store, The Little Market, with her friend Hannah Skvarla.
In 2014, she married William Tell, a lawyer, and the pair shares two sons.
She also has a children’s clothing line called Little Co, and she still frequently designs clothing and accessories for Kohl’s.
Kristin Cavallari
In Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren were made to be seen as frenemies because Kristin was dating Stephen Colletti, who LC was interested in at the time.
Kristin finished high school at the end of season two of the show and joined The Hills partway through season five, when Lauren left.
In 2017, Kristin founded a lifestyle business called Uncommon James. She also released three cookbooks and an autobiography called Balancing in Heels: My Journey to Health, Happiness and Making It All Work.
She also had her own reality show in 2018, Very Cavallari, which ran for three seasons.
In 2010, she began dating Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, with the pair welcoming three children. However, they announced their split in 2020.
In 2023, she and Stephen began doing a Laguna Beach rewatch podcast called Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen. She also has another podcast called Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari.
She also dated Mark Estes, a former college football player and member of the Montana Boyz, but the relationship was short-lived.
As of December 2025, she was reportedly seeing someone in LA.
Stephen Colletti
Stephen Colletti eventually moved to L.A. to pursue acting after finishing up on the show and going to college for one year.
One Tree Hill fans will know that his first major role was as Chase Adams on the CW hit show. He also played Taylor Swift’s love interest in her music video for ‘White Horse’ in 2009.
He also appeared on the VH1 show Hit the Floor, and more recently, he co-created the show Everyone Is Doing Great with One Tree Hill’s James Lafferty.
As mentioned above, he also did the Laguna Beach rewatch podcast with Kristin.
In 2022, Stephen confirmed he was seeing NASCAR reporter Alex Weaver. The pair wed in 2025 in a civil ceremony.
He recently appeared in the US version of The Traitors.
Lauren ‘Lo’ Bosworth
Lo was Lauren’s best friend on Laguna Beach. After the show wrapped, she earned a culinary degree in New York City, then appeared in the second season of The Hills and stayed on after Lauren left.
She created a blog called The Lo Down by Lo Bosworth and later released a book of the same name in 2011.
Lo would later go on to launch a women’s wellness and supplement brand called Love Wellness, which is developed with doctors.
She married her partner, Dom Natale, in 2025, and the couple welcomed a daughter in January 2026.
She also has a podcast called Tell Me I’m a Good Mom.
Jason Wahler
Jason Wahler appeared in season two of Laguna Beach and would go on to date Lauren. He also featured in the first season of The Hills.
After being open about his substance abuse addiction, he now works as a recovery advocate.
He also appeared in The Hills reboot, The Hills: New Beginnings.
Jason married Ashley Stack in 2013 and the pair now have three children together.
Trey Phillips
Fans will remember Trey Phillips as an artsy guy on the show, and he went on to pursue a career in fashion.
After attending Parsons School of Design in New York City, he went on to work for Vera Wang and later Halpern in London.
He has been with his partner Kasumi since 2017.
Dieter Schmitz
Dieter Schmitz was also an actor for a short period after the show finished, and appeared in three films: The Champagne Gane, Aces and Cleates of Imminent Doom.
The former reality star is now a general manager for Accor and has worked in the luxury hotel world for 20+ years, according to his LinkedIn.
He married his wife, Isabell, in 2016, with his former Laguna Beach co-stars Stephen, Trey and Loren Polster serving as groomsmen. He and his wife share two children.
Talan Torriero
Talan Torriero now works in digital marketing and as an actor. He has appeared in films such as The Killing Jar, Driftwood and Bar Starz.
He has been married to his wife Danielle since 2014, and the pair share three children.
Where can Australians watch the Laguna Beach reunion?
OK, now here comes the sad news…
The reunion special will be airing on Roku, a US-specific channel, so Aussies can’t tune in unless they have a VPN and a US-based Roku account.
In Australia, you might have heard of Roku devices that allow you to stream apps like Netflix on your TV, but we don’t have access to region-specific content licensing.
Currently, you can stream Laguna Beach on Paramount+ in Australia, so there may be a licensing deal with them or another streamer in the future if we’re lucky!
I guess now is the perfect time to go back, back to the beginning…
