Pratt and Montag started dating and later moved into an apartment together in 2007, which led to the destruction of Montag's friendship with Lauren Conrad. In season 3, Conrad ended her friendship with Montag when she suspected that Pratt was the guilty party in spreading rumors of a sex tape involving Lauren and her ex Jason Wahler. The feud between the three carried through each season after.
