Where is The Hills star Heidi Montag now – from reality TV & plastic surgery princess to real estate agent

HEIDI Montag achieved an impressive rise to fame seemingly out of nowhere as she became a star of the hit reality show The Hills.

But after years of appearing in reality competitions, the now 36-year-old is throwing in the TV towel, and looking ahead to a career in real estate.

She is the mom to two boys; four-year-old Gunner Stone and she gave birth to her second son on Thursday, November 17. The baby has not been named yet. She shared the children Hills co-star Spencer Pratt, 39.

Speaking on the , Heidi revealed that she is turning her back on showbiz.

“You know what? I’m actually going into real estate. That’s what I’m going to do,” she announced.

The Colorado native has kept her career going over the past decade with countless guest appearances on shows like Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Wife Swap, and Celebrity Family Feud.

But these gigs haven’t given her the financial stability she’s after.

The Hills star continued: “So, I’m like, we need a different income. I don’t want to be waiting on TV money. We’ve spent way too much of our money.”

Perez asked why it was just her and not Spencer that was also embarking on a new career, but the actress revealed: “Now that I’ve decided to do it, Spencer is like, ‘Oh, I’m going to do it, too.’

“I’m like, great. We’ll both do it.”

However, given the popularity of real estate reality shows such as Selling Sunset and Millon Dollar Listing, who knows if Heidi’s new gig will actually mean the end of her on-screen career.

The blonde bombshell got her first taste of stardom back in 2006 as Lauren Conrad's best friend-turned-enemy on The Hills.

UNDER THE KNIFE

In the years that followed her Hollywood breakthrough, she became famous for her extensive plastic surgeries and ever-changing appearance.

In 2010, Heidi shocked fans when she underwent ten surgeries in just one day, which she claims nearly killed her due to too much pain medication.

The reality TV star received botox, a brow lift, fillers, a fat transfer, liposuction, a nose job, a boob job, a chin reduction, a butt augmentation, and also had her ears pinned back.

She has since admitted that she sometimes regrets getting so much work done aged just 23.

Despite making a fortune on The Hills, Heidi and Spencer squandered their earnings.

In 2016 he revealed to PEOPLE that the duo had been trying to “keep up” with the likes of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, leaving them with “nothing to show for what we’d done”.

FAMILY FORTUNE

In 2017, Heidi and Spencer welcomed a baby boy named Gunner.

Last year, fans speculated that another may be on the way, but the mom-of-one shut down these rumors by revealing that she was “just a little overweight”.

However, as viewers of the reboot show The Hills: New Beginnings learned, the couple did try for a second child, eager to give Gunner a sibling.

Earlier this year, Heidi took to Instagram to share: “I never thought it would be so hard trying to have another."
