Spencer Pratt Breaks Silence On Ditching Longtime BFF Brody Jenner's Wedding

The truth behind Spencer Pratt's absence at Brody Jenner's wedding has finally been revealed, and it has nothing to do with bad blood.

Many expected the longtime pals to make a splashy reunion at Jenner's union with Tia Blanco; however, Pratt was noticeably absent.

Spencer Pratt's non-appearance sparked various theories and speculations of a possible rift, but the media personality recently cleared the air on TikTok.

After a fan bluntly asked why he was absent from Jenner's wedding, Pratt shared a heartwarming picture to remind his followers that he is a family man. The image captured the doting father posing with his sons, Gunner and Ryker, in wedding attire.

Pratt donned a nude suit with matching pants and sneakers while his sons looked adorable in an olive green ensemble. "At Heidi's sister's wedding. Holly had her wedding same time," he explained in the post's caption, referencing his wife Heidi Montag and her sister Holly Montag.

The media personality's decision to put family first sparked a wave of support from TikTok users, who applauded his choice. "Spencer and Heidi are examples of two people persevering regardless of the obstacles they face head-on. Family 1st. I commend them both on the great job they are doing," a fan chimed.

The love for Pratt continued with someone declaring that he chose to stay where it mattered most to him, with his family. Another agreed, writing: "He did the right thing choosing to attend the one his wife needed to go to. Love this. That was a tough one."

A fan echoed similar sentiments, noting they wanted a husband like Pratt who understood how to prioritize his family. "Friends are forever, but family comes first," they added, claiming the media personality deserved to be with the Montags after all the obstacles he faced to be accepted by his wife's family.

"To be fair, if Spencer would have skipped his SIL's wedding and went to Brody's alone, you all would be attacking him for that as well," someone argued. Another TikToker shared the same view, noting Pratt could always make it up to Jenner for missing his wedding.

Although Pratt opted to skip Jenner's wedding for his sister-in-law's ceremony, PEOPLE shared that the pals appeared to remain on good terms. Pratt shared multiple aerial paparazzi images from his pal's big day on his Instagram Stories alongside the joke: "@brodyjenner I didn't call the helicopter."

Jenner reposted the update with laughing emojis, proving there were no hard feelings between the longtime pals. The newlywed tied the knot to Blanco in an intimate ceremony at the backyard of the groom's mother, Linda Thompson's home.

The TV personality shared videos and pics from the ceremony on his Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 13, capturing him having a blast with his loved ones and new wife. The posts included a fun moment between Jenner and his friends where he balanced on the surfboard they held.

Pratt and Jenner have reportedly been friends since they were 13. Their relationship grew stronger through their ups and downs, a portion of which was captured on reality TV shows like "The Hills," "The Princes of Malibu," and most recently, "The Hills: New Beginnings."

Early this year, Jenner proved that no matter their obstacles, his love and respect for Pratt remained strong. "Spencer is a great guy, he really is. He's a brilliant guy," the entertainer declared during a January appearance on "Radio Andy," adding:

"It's nice to now see him get the sort of recognition he deserves because he has, he's come so far as well. He's such a great friend, father. He really is a great guy."

Although Pratt missed Jenner's wedding, he did not miss his friend's 2016 engagement to Kaitlynn Carter. The former couple tied the knot in Indonesia in 2018 before splitting up a year later. However, their union was not considered official because they were not legally married.

The opposite occurred in Jenner's engagement to Blanco, which The Blast reported had happened in 2023. The reality TV star popped the question to his then-pregnant lover during their daughter's baby shower. He shared a video of the proposal on Instagram, revealing their family had been in attendance.

Jenner surprised Blanco with the ring by getting down on one knee after they had finished thanking their guests for attending the baby shower. Once Blanco confirmed she was ready to spend the rest of her life with him, an ecstatic Jenner showered her in hugs and kisses.
