Say it isn't so! Just as we were getting excited for The Hills reboot [1], our hearts were crushed when we learned Lauren Conrad [2] probably won't be returning. According to People [3], Conrad won't be taking part in The Hills: New Beginnings, picking up where the show left off eight years ago. While former castmates Audrina Patridge [4], Heidi and Spencer Pratt [5], Jason Wahler, and Whitney Port [6] recently reunited [7] and are set to return, Conrad's on a different path.

"She's in a different place in her life," a source told People. "But she wants everyone to enjoy themselves. She wishes everyone the best."

The 32-year-old former leading lady of The Hills crew is now the mother of 1-year-old Liam [8], whom she shares with husband William Tell. She's also a successful fashion designer with an affordable denim collection at Kohl's [9].

"She loves being a mother and focusing on her family and on her work," the source said. "She has a very full and happy life." We'll sure miss seeing you on the small screen, LC!
