Biography

1986-2005: Childhood and career beginnings

Heidi Blair Montag was born September 15, 1986, in Crested Butte, Colorado.[1] She is the daughter of Darlene and William "Bill" Montag.[2] She has an older sister, Holly Montag, as well as a younger brother named Sky.[3] Montag's parents divorced when she was a child, and her mother went on to marry Tim Egelhoff, a restaurant owner.[4] Her father married Terri O'Hara, who had two children named Eric and Carissa. In 2008, Eric was killed in an accidental fall from an icy roof.[5] Montag's father would go on to be charged by stepdaughter Carissa Berlet with aggravated incest and sexual assault on a child in 2015, with the reported incidents occurring from 1993 to 1998.[6][7][8] Despite an initial plead of not guilty, he would go on to plead guilty in 2016.[9][10] He was sentenced to four years of probation, and avoided jail time due to a plea deal.[11] Heidi stood by her father during the incident, and has spoken on her belief he is innocent.[12][13][14]

Montag traveled to Italy for a study abroad program when she was seventeen.[15] Upon graduating from high school, Montag moved to California to attend the Academy of Art University, and met Lauren Conrad on her first day at the school.[16][17] Though Conrad had found success as a cast member on an MTV television series, Montag claimed to not know who Conrad was in large part due to her time spent out of the country.[18] The girls became fast friends, and Montag appeared in four episodes of Conrad's television show as a result.[19] Conrad landed the starring role in an upcoming spin-off series called The Hills, and Montag was asked to join the cast as well.[20] The series was set to chronicle their lives as students at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, where the pair transferred to after only one semester at their previous college.[21][22] Despite this, Montag dropped out of the college after only a few days of attending class.[23][24][25]

2006-10: Mainstream attention through MTV and music career
