Kyle Howard

Is Lauren Conrad hiding something about her love life?” asks the New York Post.

According to the paper, “The Hills” star “is said to be secretly engaged to boyfriend Kyle Howard, whom she’s been dating since 2008.”

So where’s the ring?

“She is not wearing a ring because she wants to hold the secret back for her new MTV show,” says a supposed source for the outlet.

For real?

No.

A rep for Conrad says “she was laughing over the story,” which is totally “false.”
