Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are here to stay.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2008, sat down with “Good Morning America” on Wednesday and got candid on life after losing their home in the LA fires — and their plan to come back stronger than ever.
“Spencer was like, ‘Grab anything you want to keep,’” Montag, 38, said as she recounted fleeing their Pacific Palisades home. “And I was like, ‘How do you choose?’ You know? My brain stopped working because I was so overwhelmed with so many things you can’t replace. So I grabbed my kids’ teddy bears.”
The pair, who share sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, have to start from scratch after all of their material possessions, including Pratt’s prized crystal collection, perished in the blaze.
“The worst was like our kid’s room that was so magical,” he recalled, getting visibly choked up. “We do story time each night, it’s like our routine, so much love is in there. Our son’s bed started just burning in the shape of a heart. The fire started in the shape of a heart. I was like, ‘This is like, out of body insane.’ ”
The Pratt Daddy Crystals founder, 41, has continued to document their post-fire experience on Snapchat and TikTok, explaining to followers that his childhood home, where his parents still lived, also burned down.
“I feel like a ghost,” he admitted. “I don’t have a single photo now from before an iPhone existed. I don’t have any of the dumb little things that are on your shelves in your parents’ [home] They’re all gone. Not a single nothing.”
But for Pratt, it’s time to go harder. The social media influencer has been a vulnerable voice online, expressing his desire to rebuild his home and his parents’ through his wife’s music rising to the top of the charts.
Pratt has since asked his nearly two million TikTok followers to stream the pop star’s 2010 album “Superficial” — and fans listened.
Not only has Montag skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot on iTunes in multiple countries including the US, Australia and England, but celebrities have also joined in by posting themselves dancing to the tune and encouraging followers to buy and stream.
Paris Hilton, who lost her Malibu home in the fires, showed her support, along with Flavor Flav, TikToker Alix Earle, Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg, Bethenny Frankel, and former “Hills” costars Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port.
The duo is even in talks with Mr. 305 himself — Pitbull — to have him do a verse on the reality star’s track “I’ll Do It.”
“The fan support has been such a light in such a darkness for us,” Montag told the morning show. “It’s life-changing.”
Pratt, meanwhile, cried in a TikTok video over the weekend after Montag topped the charts.
“We spent all of our money on this album,” Pratt, 41, said in the emotional clip, sharing that he and Montag hired top writers and producers to work on the record. But the albums first week on sale back in January 2010 only sold 1,000 copies.
“Every dollar we made from ‘The Hills,’ we put into this album,” Pratt continued. “For it to finally get to No. 1 in America, 15 years after. … Do you know how many times we’ve cried and how much regret we’ve had about spending all of our money and investing it and believing in Heidi’s music?”
On Saturday, Montag also expressed her gratitude in an Instagram Story, telling followers: “Thank you so much to everyone.”
“No. 1 on iTunes chart, oh, my gosh. Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music and really rallying behind us in this devastating time and making it such a blessing.”
As for what’s next? Montag and Pratt teased a video of the singer in the studio recording what they described as a “No. 1 hit.”
