Lauren Conrad, 26,
has been pretty private about her love life — well, you know, since 2009
when she stopped documenting it on TV in her sorta-reality show "The
Hills." Which is why she chose not to speak publicly about what must
have been a rather painful split from her boyfriend of three years, "My
Boys" actor Kyle Howard, in June 2011. However, the former "Laguna
Beach" star finally opened up about recovering from her heartbreak in
the "Ask Lauren" advice column that she writes on her website. In
response to a 25-year-old woman writing about the fact that she was sad
her two best friends are engaged and she isn't yet,
Conrad replied:
"I don't think it's unusual to be nervous about feeling a bit behind
relationship-wise when you are in your mid-twenties. One thing to keep
in mind while you are attending weddings, showers, and other events
celebrating your friends' relationships is that these aren't things you
are missing out on. They are things you have to look forward to." Then,
Conrad offered some insight from her personal experience. "I was in a
similar place last year. Twenty-five, newly single, and helping one of
my best friends plan her wedding, so I know how it can feel," she wrote.
"It can be hard to feel like you have to start from scratch when you
have invested so much time with a person, but shortly after my breakup I
realized something: I wasn't losing the chance to have love — I was
getting the opportunity to do it all over again."
Fortunately, Conrad, who also writes books, designs clothes, and
helps oversee thebeautydepartment.com in addition to dishing advice,
recently found a new love. She's
been dating William Tell, 32, a University of Southern California law student,
since friends set them up on Valentine's Day. They were even
photographed on a romantic getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in July.
Could wedding bells be in their near future?
