Look, "The Hills" may have ended a few eons ago, but I'm still not prepared for the truth. For example: I was not and never will be ready to hear that Brody and Lauren faked their relationship.<\/p>\n

WHICH THEY DID.<\/p>\n

On his podcast (because OF COURSE Brody Jenner has a podcast), the actor (yeah, I said it) admitted that he and Conrad never dated.<\/p>\n

"[Lauren and I] worked together on a show called 'The Hills' where we had to pretend like we were dating but we never dated."<\/p>\n

This is why Imogen Heap's "MMMWHATCHA SAYYYY" was written.<\/p>\n

"Lauren Conrad and I never dated," he also confirmed. "Lauren and I have always just been friends."<\/p>\n

But do you want to know what was<\/em> real? Jenner's relationship with Kristin Cavallari, although the former reality star clarified that the two weren't together during "The Hills" filming — they were together years before<\/em>. (What even is this life.)<\/p>\n

"I dated Kristin when we were very young when she was on 'Laguna Beach' and I was on a show called 'Princes of Malibu' with Spencer Pratt," he explained. "We met at a party in Hollywood, but during ["The Hills"] when we filmed, Kristin and I did not date, we were not hooking up."<\/p>\n

And I thought I could trust reality television.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
