Kristin Cavallari, who was born in Denver, Colorado in 1987, rose to prominence as a teen cast member on MTV’s Laguna Beach before returning to reality TV drama with The Hills. While earlier attempts to establish herself as a TV host and actor failed, she became a best-selling author with the release of Balancing in Heels and True Roots, as well as launching profitable shoe and jewelry companies. In 2018, she debuted her own E! reality show, Very Cavallari, which focuses on her business interests and family life.
Cavallari, a junior at Laguna Beach High School in Southern California, was cast in MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County in 2004. The show featured youthful stars caught in the turmoil of social cliques and peer pressure, as well as an emphasis on the Cavallari-Stephen Colletti-Lauren Conrad love triangle.
In 2009, Cavallari took over as narrator of the Laguna Beach spinoff The Hills, which had previously followed Conrad while she pursued a fashion career in Los Angeles.
Cavallari’s return to reality television was confirmed by E! in early 2018, with the July 15 premiere of Very Cavallari. The show attempted to focus on the celebrity as she jiggled her increasing commercial interests with the challenges of maintaining a happy home, a far cry from the catty culture of her past efforts.
