'The Hills' alum Lo Bosworth announces she's married, expecting first baby with Dom Natale
A Laguna Beach wedding? Lo Bosworth wouldn't have it any other way.
The reality star, 38, who starred in both "Laguna Beach" and its spinoff "The Hills," on MTV, exchanged vows earlier in July with investor Dom Natale, Bosworth told People in an exclusive interview. The pair is also expecting their first child together.
Bosworth, now a wellness brand founder, spent the better part of her young adulthood on television, minting a new kind of reality program alongside her high school classmates on "Laguna Beach." Now, the Southern California city is the site of her no-frills nuptials, and a celebration of a growing family.
In a post to Instagram July 28, Bosworth celebrated the news, captioning a series of wedding photos: "We said yes with joy. And life, with its most tender timing, said yes right back."
"We wanted our wedding to meet the moment of where we're at right now," Bosworth told People. "I'm about four months pregnant, and before starting our fertility journey, we thought about a big, New York City wedding. Once our family plans got underway, however, we changed course to something we knew would be perfect if I was lucky enough to get pregnant: an intimate wedding with our closest family members enjoyed at home."
She added: "We could take off our shoes, stretch out, enjoy great food and the beautiful decor and relax."
In a crisp white gown with a bouquet of calla lilies, Bosworth said "I do" before just 28 guests, according to People, opting for an intimate ceremony. After "Laguna Beach," she went on to star alongside Lauren Conrad in "The Hills," a glitzy and dramatic reality show that followed their move to Los Angeles.
"Getting married at home in Laguna felt right for us – inviting, calming, and full of love," Bosworth told the outlet. "We've both been in NYC for about 15 years and for me, going home to Laguna to get married feels very full-circle."
Natale, who Bosworth said she met a few years ago, wore a breezy white-on-white suit for the beachside affair. The bride's fashion was a constantly moving target, she said.
"When we set our date in July, we didn't know if our planned IVF cycle would be successful. I bought a dress (or two) early on in the hopes one would still work if we got lucky," she told People. But, when the date arrived, none of the gowns fit. She called in some favors from fashion friends and ended up with a custom dress on the fly, ultimately walking down the aisle in "a classic look that accentuated my bump."
While it does not appear that Bosworth has any plans to get behind the camera again, she is dabbling in entrepreneurship and has no regrets about her time as a teen TV icon.
"I have developed a much healthier relationship with my own reality TV experience than the one I had a number of years ago," she previously told Paste BN. "I think right when I came off the show, there was definitely some trauma that we all had to work through. I think it's not normal to be on TV, to have millions of people see you, and to have to absorb all of that energy and their opinions can be challenging. As I have grown into an adult, I think I have a much better perspective on it."I'm able to understand how the experience has benefited me to a degree that I can't even really communicate," she added.
