Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari reveals a surprising friendship with Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson, sharing that she and Gunvalson's daughter, Briana, were friends. Cavallari also discusses the upcoming Laguna Beach reunion, featuring original cast members.
Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari has a surprising connection to The Real Housewives of Orange County OG cast member, Vicki Gunvalson . Cavallari revealed this unexpected link during The Reunion : Laguna Beach L.A. premiere at the Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California. She mentioned her past fascination with The Housewives of Orange County, admitting she hadn't watched it in years, but still maintains a connection, particularly with Gretchen Rossi. The connection doesn't stop there.
Cavallari shared a surprising detail: she and Vicki Gunvalson's daughter, Briana, attended school together during their freshman year before Cavallari moved to Laguna Beach. She described Briana as one of her best friends, a little-known fact that highlights a deeper, pre-reality TV connection between Cavallari and the OG of the OC. It seems there is a story beyond what we see on screen. \Gunvalson, one of the original Housewives, debuted on the hit Bravo show in 2006 alongside Jeana Keough, Lauri Waring, Jo De La Rosa, and Kimberly Bryant. The show's influence and impact are undeniable. The announcement of Gunvalson's return to reality TV, which happened at The Bravos at BravoCon in Las Vegas in November 2025, thrilled fans and several RHOC stars. The news was met with excitement and anticipation. Reflecting on the moment, Gunvalson shared how she was initially hesitant about going on stage at BravoCon, believing it might be her final appearance. She was asked about season 20 which made her think about the next chapter, but the surprise announcement, delivered by Andy Cohen, ultimately confirmed her return. This unexpected turn of events gave Gunvalson a new perspective. She was prepared for a different outcome. It’s a testament to the unpredictable nature of reality television and how careers can evolve within the genre. The announcement, as Gunvalson explained, brought about a feeling of the start of the next phase. \Cavallari's own reality TV journey began in 2004 on MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. She rapidly gained popularity and became a standout star of the show. Cavallari is reuniting with her original castmates, including Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips, Christina Schuller, Dieter Schmitz, Jessica Smith, Alex Hooser, and Morgan Smith, for The Reunion: Laguna Beach, which premieres on April 10 on Roku. The process wasn't always straightforward. Conrad shared that several cast members initially expressed reservations about revisiting their reality TV pasts. The group had to discuss the potential impact and whether they wanted to re-enter the spotlight. According to Conrad, the reunion became a positive experience, with everyone sharing a sense of satisfaction after filming. The initial concerns about the project were replaced with a feeling of shared accomplishment. This underscores the complexities of returning to reality television after a long hiatus. The reunions often come with personal reflection and a re-evaluation of past experiences
