Before we were blessed with countless episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians andReal Housewives of Beverly Hills,we got to experience the OG reality television show,Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.

Following the lives of eight extremely good-looking, wealthy teenagers in high school,Laguna Beachhad us hooked onthe storylines that unfolded during their senior year. We’re talking all the important parts of any teenager’s life: navigating school life, figuring out what to do next, and of course, all the high school crushes.

Watch: Remember lockdown? And celebrities doing... weird things in lockdown?? Let's all take a second to fondly remember how celebrities got creative in isolation. Post continues below.

And although it feels like only yesterday that we were just starting to get to know these teenagers from California, it’s been nearly 19 years since the first episode aired on MTV.

So let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to since then.

Out of all the cast members fromLaguna Beach, Lauren Conrad was always destined to do big things. And that she did.

Since the show, Conrad has written seven books, includingL.A. Candywhich became aNew York Timesbestseller, opened an online boutique called The Little Market, which distributes handmade pieces created by women and started her own clothing line, LC Lauren Conrad.

Her love triangle with co-stars Stephen Colletti and Lauren Conrad, and her on-screen feud with Conrad, provided the majority of the show’s drama, which continued intoThe Hillswhen she replaced Conrad as the lead.

She starred in her own reality TV show,Very Cavallari,which followed both her family life and professional life as the owner and boss of her jewellery label, Uncommon James.

She married NFL quarterback Jay Cutler in 2013 and they have three children together – two sons called Camden and Jaxon, and a daughter named Saylor.

Her reality show,Very Cavallari,followed the highs and lows of their marriage. On an April 2019 episode, she told her friends “things weren’t as perfect as they seemed".
