When news broke that Brody Jenner and Tia Blanco had tied the knot in a low-key Malibu ceremony, fans were thrilled—but they also had questions. One name in particular started trending alongside the wedding buzz: Spencer Pratt. The reality TV bestie-turned-bro, who once shared countless scenes (and storylines) with Brody on The Hills, was noticeably absent from the guest list.
So… why wasn’t Spencer there?
Let’s get into the truth behind his absence, what it says about their friendship today, and why it’s not as dramatic as some fans might think—yet still kind of surprising.
The Wedding That Got Everyone Talking
First, some quick context: Brody and Tia said “I do” on July 12, 2025, at an intimate ceremony held at Brody’s mom Linda Thompson’s Malibu home. The vibe? Low-key, heartfelt, barefoot-on-the-beach kind of energy.
Family and close friends attended. Caitlyn Jenner was there. Brandon Jenner reportedly showed up too. Even their one-year-old daughter Honey Raye had a starring role.
But fans noticed one name missing from all wedding mentions: Spencer Pratt. No posts. No comments. No sightings.
And if you’ve followed The Hills crew over the years, that silence was…loud.
From Reality Bros to Real-Life Distance
Back in the late 2000s, Brody and Spencer were inseparable. Whether it was partying in Hollywood, beach bonfires, or starting drama with Lauren Conrad, they were the duo at the center of MTV’s scripted-but-not-scripted chaos.
But their bond didn’t survive untouched.
After years of public ups and downs—including some off-camera fallouts and the Hills: New Beginnings reboot—the friendship between Spencer and Brody has become, at best, distant. At worst? Pretty much nonexistent.
They did film the Hills reboot together from 2019 to 2021, and while there were signs of reconnection, fans could tell the dynamic had shifted. Spencer was often more vocal, critical, and, well… Spencer. Brody seemed to pull back.
So, the question wasn’t really why Spencer wasn’t invited—it was had they drifted too far apart to even notice anymore?
What Spencer Has (and Hasn’t) Said
As of now, Spencer Pratt hasn’t directly commented on missing the wedding—but he has made subtle digs about Brody in the past.
On TikTok and his podcast, Spencer’s been known to drop unfiltered takes on the entire Hills crew. He’s claimed Brody distanced himself intentionally and that Brody prefers a quieter, more family-focused life—something Spencer admits he doesn’t always vibe with.
In one recent video, when asked about Brody, Spencer vaguely said:
“We’re just in different worlds now. Nothing bad—just different pages.”
Sounds diplomatic, but it also sounds final.
Was It a Snub or a Mutual Fade-Out?
To be fair, there’s a huge difference between a dramatic snub and just naturally growing apart. And by all accounts, this seems to be the latter.
Brody’s recent years have been all about shifting priorities. Since meeting Tia and becoming a dad to Honey, his life has gone from Hollywood party boy to surf-dad zen. No more reality cameras. No more attention-seeking headlines. Just beach days, baby cuddles, and quiet moments.
Spencer, on the other hand, is still in the influencer/content game—he’s on TikTok daily, running crystal sales, and delivering spicy pop culture takes on his podcast with wife Heidi Montag. He thrives on the chaos Brody seems to be moving away from.
So no, it doesn’t feel like Brody intentionally iced Spencer out. It feels like he invited who was closest to him now—not who used to be.
The Social Media Silence Says A Lot
If you were looking for a congratulatory post or “wish I could’ve made it” message from Spencer… you won’t find one. He’s been completely quiet about Brody’s wedding, which speaks volumes.
The silence could mean one of two things:
- He truly wasn’t invited and didn’t want to make it a thing.
- They’re not even close enough anymore to expect a wedding invite.
Either way, it reinforces the idea that this isn’t a petty feud—it’s just distance.
What About Heidi and Tia?
Another point worth noting: There’s no indication that Heidi Montag and Tia Blanco have any kind of friendship. And it’s not like Heidi and Tia run in the same circles.
Brody’s wedding guest list was tight, family-focused, and drama-free. If the goal was an unplugged, personal celebration without the noise of reality TV or past tensions, keeping the Pratts off the guest list makes sense—even if it stings for longtime fans.
What Fans Are Saying
Naturally, the internet had thoughts.
“No Spencer at Brody’s wedding?? The Hills are officially not alive with the sound of friendship.”
“Honestly, Brody’s in his dad era now. Spencer’s still in content mode. Makes sense.”
“This feels like the final nail in the Pratt-Jenner friendship coffin.”
There’s a quiet mourning happening among OG Hills fans—but also acceptance that this is just what growth looks like.
The Brody of 2025 Isn’t the Brody of 2007
The biggest takeaway from all of this? Brody has changed. And not in a performative “look at me growing” way. It’s subtle. It’s steady.
He’s not chasing fame anymore. He’s focused on being a present dad, a supportive partner, and someone who values connection over clout. His Malibu wedding wasn’t about who could make the headlines—it was about who made him feel at home.
If Spencer doesn’t fit into that version of Brody’s world anymore, that’s not betrayal. That’s evolution.
Final Thoughts: A Friendship That Ran Its Course
So, why did Spencer Pratt skip Brody Jenner’s wedding? It wasn’t a scandal. It wasn’t shade. It was simply a reflection of where their friendship stands in 2025: in the past.
Sometimes friendships don’t end in fireworks. Sometimes they just fade out quietly, as two people take different roads in life. And that’s okay.
While we’ll always treasure the chaotic, quotable, drama-filled bromance they gave us on The Hills, this next chapter for Brody isn’t about TV drama—it’s about real life. And in real life, people grow up. They grow apart. And they grow into who they’re meant to be.Spencer Pratt missed Brody Jenner’s Malibu wedding because he attended his sister-in-law’s nuptials—here’s the heartfelt reason behind the absence.
