Lauren Conrad is set to return to television screens, joining former castmates for a “Laguna Beach” reunion special scheduled for release in 2026 on The Roku Channel. This marks a notable re-emergence for Conrad, who has largely stepped away from the public eye in recent years.
Since concluding her tenure on reality television in 2009, Conrad has redirected her focus toward family life and building a multifaceted business portfolio. She has successfully established herself in the fashion industry, managing her clothing labels and co-founding a fair-trade online marketplace. Beyond fashion, she is also a published author of several novels.
In interviews, Conrad has expressed a strong preference for privacy, valuing her time away from the spotlight. She describes a daily routine centered on her family, prioritizing her children’s upbringing alongside her professional commitments. Sources close to her indicate that public appearances are rare, with Conrad preferring a quieter life at home with her husband and their two sons.
The upcoming reunion special has been described by its creators as a long-awaited project, reuniting the original friend group two decades after the series first premiered. The special will see Conrad involved not just on screen, but also in a production role.
While she prepares for this television return, Conrad continues to balance her roles as an entrepreneur, designer, and mother, maintaining that her family remains her central focus.
