- Heidi Montag praised Spencer Pratt on X days after his L.A. mayoral loss
- Pratt finished third behind Karen Bass and Nithya Raman in the primary
- Pratt vows to continue his “Save Los Angeles” mission in a new phase
Heidi Montag is standing firmly by her man.
Three days after Spencer Pratt conceded his Los Angeles mayoral race, the former The Hills star took to X to publicly address her husband’s LA mayor loss with an outpouring of emotion and unwavering support.
“I couldn’t love my husband more and be more proud of him,” Montag gushed in the heartfelt statement. “What an inspiration, what a hero.”
The post arrived after what had been a turbulent and closely watched finish to Pratt’s unconventional political campaign. With 99 percent of ballots counted, the Associated Press placed Pratt in third, with just over a quarter of the vote, finishing 3.5 percentage points behind Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman and nearly nine points behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
Pratt initially stood in second place as returns came in on primary night, but his lead over Raman steadily narrowed as mail-in ballots were counted. By Sunday, Raman had overtaken him by less than one percentage point, locking in her spot in the November runoff alongside Bass and eliminating Pratt from the contest entirely.
Montag’s public statement did not come as a surprise to those who had followed the couple throughout the campaign. She had been among Pratt’s most visible and vocal supporters from the moment he entered the race.
“I wouldn’t be here without him,” Montag told Us Weekly in April. “He is so, so incredible.”
Pratt returned the praise in equal measure, speaking to the same outlet the following month.
“Heidi is an actual angel superhero,” he said. “She is working so hard to continue putting out new music and paying for our kids’ food.”
The couple’s campaign was rooted in personal tragedy. Pratt and Montag lost their Pacific Palisades home in January 2025 during the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, an experience that Pratt cited as the direct catalyst for his decision to seek public office.
“I never wanted to be mayor. I don’t want to be in politics. I want to be back in my house with my family, going down to the local public schools and having just a normal life,” Pratt said during a January appearance on Fox & Friends.
Despite that sentiment, he pressed forward with what he framed as a civic mission rather than a political career move.
“This isn’t just a campaign, this is a mission,” Pratt told a crowd at the “They Let Us Burn” event, where he first announced his candidacy. “We’re going to expose the system. We’re going into every dark corner of L.A. politics and disinfecting the city with our light. And when we are done, L.A. is going to be camera-ready again.”
Even as Pratt conceded the race, he made clear his fight is far from over. “Now that the campaign portion of my mission of Save Los Angeles is coming to a close, I’m moving on to the next more interesting phase,” Pratt shared in a social media video titled “Save LA – Phase III.”
Pratt and Montag, who married in November 2008, share two sons: Gunner, eight, and Ryker, three. The family’s ordeal over the past year and a half, from losing their home to mounting an upstart political campaign, has played out almost entirely in public view, with the couple documenting much of it across social media.
Montag’s statement, brief as it was, carried the weight of a shared journey that extended well beyond the ballot box. Whether Pratt’s “Phase III” will translate into another political run or a new form of advocacy remains to be seen, but his wife has made one thing perfectly clear: her support is not going anywhere.
