Spencer Pratt reveals sister Stephanie ‘isn’t a part of his son Gunner’s life’

They starred together on The Hills for years, where their tumultuous relationship played out on screen.

And Spencer Pratt has spoken out on his ongoing feud with younger sister Stephanie, admitting the two have ‘never been best friends,’ and she still isn’t a part of his or his family’s life.

Speaking on the Juicy Scoop podcast, Spencer explained that their sibling rivalry was blown out of proportion by The Hills cameras, as he insists the pair were ‘never best friends’.

He said: ‘The Hills’ and the media and Stephanie and her podcast made it into this dramatic thing. We were never like best friends and chatty or whatever.’

Spencer, 37, went on to say that his opinion of Stephanie, 34, hasn’t changed over the last 15 years, and admits that whilst she’s a ‘great aunt’ to their older sister’s children, she isn’t part of his son’s life.

The reality star – who has three-year-old son Gunner Stone with his wife Heidi Montag – admitted: ‘I have the same relationship and opinion about my sister as I did in 2005.

‘She’s a great aunt to my older sister’s kids, but we’re not close for 15, almost 20 years. So long that she wouldn’t be in Gunner’s life.’

During his appearance on the podcast, Spencer also revealed that his sister won’t be returning for the second season of The Hills: New Beginnings, after taking part in the first season in 2019, following her time on the main series between 2007 and 2010. 

The MTV reboot The Hills: New Beginnings had its production delayed on account of the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed filming this past November. 

Stephanie previously branded Spencer and his wife Heidi ‘evil’ and admitted filming the MTV reality show had left her feeling ‘drained’.

She wrote on Instagram in 2019: ‘I’m drained from this year. So happy to be back home in London, where evil siblings don’t exist… but instead the MOST lovely people in the world- you guys are my family these days.’

‘I am so grateful, it makes my heart hurt . Thank you for making me feel like I belong somewhere (Spencer often screamed that everyone hates me, is fake nice to me and to go back to London because no one wants me here).’ 

‘omg and Heidi- I have no words for how evil you truly are- you had no choice to admit all of the lies you’ve been spewing about me was for a magazine cover. (sic)’

Just six months earlier and Stephanie had been gushing about the ‘special’ reunion she shared with Spencer, Heidi and Gunner over Christmas 2018, apologising for her part in their feud.

Sharing a photo of the family together, she wrote: ‘This photo is so special to me 3 months ago I would have never thought that 2018 would end with so much happiness!’

‘Soooooo many years have gone by living separate lives & I am to blame. I became too independent. I’m seeing everything in a different light these days & I feel blessed that it wasn’t too late for this new chapter with my brother & Heidi #family #blessed #newbeginnings.’ 

Stephanie’s feud with Spencer intensified during filming for The Hills: New Beginnings in 2019. 

Stephanie even took the opportunity during a promo interview for the show to call out Spencer and Heidi for not telling her they were pregnant in 2017, which she learned about in a Daily Mail article. 

She said: ‘I was obviously really hurt by my mom and by them not telling me.

‘I think in a family, you would know these things. And I do think it’s odd the baby was not born on my birthday, but they announced it on my birthday.’

At the time, both Stephanie and Heidi explained that the former’s relocation to London meant she ‘didn’t really have a relationship’ with her brother and his wife.

Heidi offered an explanation for the ordeal during the promo interview, saying: ‘It’s a hard situation for everyone, because we have only seen Stephanie a few times.

‘It’s been challenging, because when we see her everything’s fine, and when we leave, all these mean articles come out about us.

‘So we couldn’t trust her at that time, unfortunately, to tell her we were pregnant, because we did have a deal with a magazine and we weren’t on great terms and we didn’t know what she would say.’

Things seemed to be going smoothly during the interview until Heidi said she was ‘always for patching things up’ with Spencer and Brody Jenner’s relationship.

This set Stephanie off once again: ‘Can I just cut in really quick? I love that you just said that, Heidi.

‘If you really did love patching up relationships, for all the years I didn’t speak to Spencer, I don’t know why you never said, “Come on, you guys are family, get together.”

‘If I was married to someone, and they weren’t getting along with their mother or family, the first thing I would do is be like, “This is silly, you guys are family. Did you ever reach out to me? No. You probably promoted it.’

 

Heidi took the high road and defused the situation before it started: ‘I think we’ve moved on from that part right now.’ 

Meanwhile Heidi has been open about her family plans, revealing this month that she and Spencer are trying for a second child. 

She disappointedly tweeted on January 3, ‘Well not pregnant this month,’ with a cocktail emoji. 

After revealing that she and Spencer were hoping for baby number two, followers offered her support to which she responded, ‘hopefully soon.’ 

 She continued to share in an Instagram video:

‘So Spencer and are starting to try. With Gunner, I got pregnant the first month, so I was a little bit sad. But I decided to have faith and hope and a nice glass of wine to take the pressure off. So cheers…and God willing, next month.’
