• Faith: Christian
• Career: TV Personality
• Birthday:  August 14, 1983

Spencer Pratt rose to fame as one of reality television’s most controversial personalities, but over the years he has reinvented himself several times — from tabloid villain to social media personality, entrepreneur, husband, father, and now political candidate.

Born on August 14, 1983, in Los Angeles, Pratt grew up in Southern California alongside his younger sister, Stephanie Pratt. He attended prestigious schools in the Los Angeles area before later studying political science at the University of Southern California. Long before entering politics himself, Pratt showed an interest in media, celebrity culture, and public attention.

His entertainment career began in the mid-2000s when he appeared on the reality series "The Princes of Malibu." However, Pratt became a household name after joining MTV’s hit reality show "The Hills." The series followed the lives of young adults navigating relationships, careers, and fame in Los Angeles.

Pratt’s relationship with fellow cast member Heidi Montag quickly became one of the show’s central storylines. Their romance — often surrounded by controversy and conflict with castmates, particularly Lauren Conrad — made the couple some of reality television’s most talked-about figures during the late 2000s.

Despite criticism from viewers and media outlets, Pratt embraced his reality TV persona and leaned into his reputation as a provocateur. Over the years, he and Montag appeared on numerous reality programs, including "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!," "Celebrity Big Brother," and later the reboot series "The Hills: New Beginnings." Pratt also built a large online following through social media commentary, pop culture content, and his interest in crystals and alternative wellness products.

Pratt and Montag married in November 2008 after eloping in Mexico, later holding a formal wedding ceremony in California in 2009. The couple has remained together despite years of intense public scrutiny and media attention. They welcomed their first son, Gunner, in 2017 and their second son, Ryker, in 2022.

In January 2025, Pratt and Montag lost their home during the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire, an event that Pratt later described as deeply personal and life changing. The tragedy became one of the driving motivations behind his entrance into politics.

On January 7, 2026, Pratt officially announced his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles, challenging incumbent mayor Karen Bass in the 2026 election. Although the race is officially nonpartisan, Pratt has acknowledged being a registered Republican while also attempting to position himself as an outsider focused on local issues rather than party politics.

His campaign has focused heavily on issues such as homelessness, public safety, infrastructure, wildfire recovery, and city management. Pratt’s unconventional campaign style — including viral social media videos and aggressive criticism of city leadership — has drawn national attention. Some political observers initially dismissed his candidacy as a publicity stunt, but polling and fundraising numbers showed him emerging as a legitimate contender in the race.

Spencer Pratt's Religious Beliefs

Pratt has publicly identified as a Christian for many years and has occasionally spoken about the importance of faith in his personal life. In 2009, he was baptized by actor Stephen Baldwin, who has openly discussed his own Christian faith.

Pratt has described his faith in God as a source of strength during difficult seasons of life, particularly amid public criticism and personal struggles. His wife, Heidi Montag, has also spoken openly about their Christian beliefs, sharing that prayer and Christian music are important parts of their family’s daily routine.

Although Pratt is often known for his outspoken personality and reality television fame, faith has remained a consistent part of his public identity. In interviews and online posts, he has referenced prayer, gratitude to God, and the role spirituality plays in guiding his family life and personal decisions.
