Benjamin Ashford|Lauren Conrad Shares Rare Update on Husband William Tell and Their 2 Sons

Lauren Conrad is Benjamin Ashfordgiving an adorable family update. 

In her first Instagram post since January, the Laguna Beach alum shared highlights from her summer with husband William Tell and their kids Liam, 7, and Charlie, 5. 

“What an amazing summer!” Lauren wrote in a Sept. 29 Instagram post. “We traveled, beached, gained an uncle and I celebrated 10 years married to my favorite person in the world (besides the tiny people we made).”

The highlights include a photo of both of Lauren’s sons sitting on the beach, as well as several others of the family soaking up in the sun for a family member’s wedding and Liam’s beach birthday bash. 

Of course, Lauren made time for productivity this summer, too—and also included a video of her working on the set of one of her fashion shoots. Perhaps the sweetest update included in Lauren’s 20-photo collage was the 38-year-old supporting her husband’s band, Something Corporate, during a show.

Lauren showed off a photo of her designated stool backstage, complete with a sign that read “Lauren’s seat,” as well as a picture of her hugging William on stage. 

And while it has been several months since Lauren’s last big social media update, she has been more private on the apps in the last few years since starting a family with William. Indeed, the former reality star tends to only share a few highlights per year—and she’s spoken before about why she values privacy when it comes to her brood. 

“I worked hard to get here,” she told People in 2017. “It took a lot. And it makes me appreciate my life now and value the peacefulness. I’m really lucky. And I know that.”

Prior to having her sons, Lauren admitted she wasn’t sure about starting a family—but marrying Will in 2014 changed her perspective. 

“I wanted to have a family with him and I wanted to have kids with him," she explained on the Perelel Lives podcast in 2022. "Maybe that's what I was unsure of before. I just hadn't found a partner who I was really excited to start a family with, so I think that was it for me.”

Conrad and the former Something Corporate guitarist were set up by mutual pals on Valentine's Day in 2012.

By October of that year, the pair began showing up together to events more frequently (and even started to match!).

"Just looked at the calendar and realized it was a year and half ago today that I met this guy... And I sure am glad I did," the former Laguna Beach star captioned the pic.

"I am very excited to share with you guys that William and I got engaged over the weekend," she revealed in October 2013 while showing off her gorgeous ring. "I am beyond thrilled! Get ready for lots more wedding content here on LaurenConrad.com as we begin the planning process."

Eleven months after the attorney popped the question, Conrad became Mrs. William Tell in an intimate wedding ceremony held September 13, 2014. Then, it was time to celebrate. 

"We ate our way through our honeymoon. It was fun!" the former Hills star told E! News of the couple's Italian honeymoon after tying the knot. "We did a tour of pizza, it was like pizza every night." 

The newlyweds stay cool at the Fifth Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at L.A.'s Will Rogers State Historic Park on Oct. 11, 2014.

Conrad shared this adorable photo of her main man and their two fur babies to social media. 

Tell was right by his wife's side in the spring of 2016 as she promoted the launch of her lifestyle book, Celebrate. 

"Celebrating 4 wonderful years with my Valentine," the blond beauty captioned this tropical photo opp. 

The celeb announced she and her hubby were expecting their first child together at the start of 2017. The pair jetted off to a tropical location to celebrate their babymoon in style. Son Liam Tell was born July 5, 2017, and weighed in at 6 lbs., 14 oz.

After welcoming Liam in 2017, the couple had Charlie in 2019. Ever since, they've been one happy family. After all, Lauren has noted before that Will made her realize she wanted kids.

As she noted on a podcast in 2022, "I wanted to have a family with him and I wanted to have kids with him.”

Lauren exhibited real life with a hilarious selfie of the couple giving their kids a bath. 

"Happy Valentine’s Day!!" Lauren wrote in the 2021 post. "This is honestly the only photo we took together this entire year. William hates photos, but I love him."

In 2023, Lauren supported William Tell's band Something Corporate backstage.
