For years, LC’s close friends have hinted that they would like her to be left out of this story. When an executive gauged her interest in returning to The Hills, “I was like, ‘Fuck, no!'” she recalled on a 2018 episode of the podcast “Lady Lovin’.” “I want nothing to do with those people. What I’m hungry for is freedom from all of them.”
To be fair, that sometimes happens when you change careers. Now based in New York, the International Culinary Center graduate and author of The Lo-Down founded Love Wellness, a personal care product line for women, in 2016.
Apart from Lauren, she told E! News in 2024, “I don’t always stay in touch with a lot of the people who were on the show, but it’s been 20 years. I don’t know many people that I went to high school with that I still keep in touch with every day. But I’m very friendly with everyone and if I see anyone I’ll run up and give them a big hug.”
Because she has so much love to give, she announced in July 2025 that she and businessman Domenic “Dom” Natale tied the knot “in the company of our closest family” in an intimate ceremony in Laguna Beach. Then, in January, they welcomed their daughter Nele, adding another person to their circle.
“I’ve grown into the life I always dreamed of,” she told E! “I’ve achieved a lot, so what’s important to me is to stay the way I am: to be happy, healthy, have a great family and good spirit, and spend a lot of time with the people I care about.”
