Kaitlynn Carter, 30, really does have a new beginning to look forward to after she split from Brody Jenner, 35, just one year after their extravagant June 2018 nuptials in Indonesia. The Hills: New Beginnings co-stars broke the news through a statement issued by their rep, Scott Newman, on Aug. 2, which HollywoodLife obtained: “Brody Jenner & Kaitlynn Carter have decided to amicably separate. They love and respect one another, and know that this is the best decision for their relationship moving forward.” But Kaitlynn will be fine on her own, as she has amassed more than 700,000 followers and has another exciting project to look forward to! Here’s what else you should know about the blonde beauty who just made her MTV debut.
1. She was spotted kissing Miley Cyrus. After Kaitlynn split from Brody, she went on a vacation to Lake Como, Italy with Miley and her sister Brandy Cyrus. While there, the ladies posted bikini shots, with one even receiving a flirty comment from Brody that said “Hot girl summer.” Then, news broke that Miley and Liam Hemsworth have separated after less than a year of marriage. As the Internet was freaking out about the breakup, photos surfaced online of Miley and Kaitlynn kissing on their vacation.
2. Kaitlynn is a new cast member on The Hills reboot. She made her reality television debut in the first season of The Hills: New Beginnings, which premiered in June 2019. Fans witnessed the tension in Kaitlynn and Brody’s marriage on the show, such as when they had an awkward conversation about an “open relationship” (Kaitlynn didn’t sound too pleased) and fought about Brody’s late return from a DJ gig.
3. Kaitlynn dated Brody for nearly six years. The former couple would’ve celebrated a six-year anniversary in Oct. 2019! After meeting at a party in 2013, Brody proposed amid a trip in Sumba, Indonesia by May 2016. They returned to the tropical location two years later to tie the knot at the Nihi Sumba Resort, but they were allegedly never legally married after failing to file for a marriage license, TMZ reported.

5. Kaitlynn’s other ventures include a lifestyle blog and online clothing store. Kaitlynn launched the style, beauty and travel blog Hey, Miss Carter in 2014, but hasn’t updated her “digital diary” since uploading a post about the making of her wedding dress in July 2018. Given that Kaitlynn holds an English degree from the University of New Hampshire, it’s only natural that she gave blogging a spin! She also launched an online clothing store, Foray, with her friend Tiana Haraguchi in 2015. More than 700,000 Instagram followers keep up with Kaitlynn’s picturesque feed on Instagram, which is regularly updated with photos of her feminine style and travels to places like Hawaii and England.
