'The Hills' Lauren Conrad Hopes William Tell is 'The One'
Lauren Conrad, former star of MTV reality TV show "The Hills," has moved on from actor Kyle Howard and is reportedly hoping for marriage with new boyfriend William Tell.
"They really connected!" a friend of the couple's told Us Magazine. The couple met through mutual friends on Valentine's Day and according to the friend, Conrad has fallen hard.
"She hopes he's The One!" the insider said, adding that they have been seeing each other "for a few months."

Tell, 32, is said to be an ex-guitarist for the alternative band Something Corporate, and is now a University of Southern California law student.
The 26-year-old fashion designer has encountered her fair share of failed relationships, many of which were once featured on her hit reality TV show.
Conrad previously began seeing Howard in 2008, and while rumors of an engagement emerged during various phases of their relationship, the couple called it quits in 2011 after three years.
Prior to Howard, Conrad, a Laguna Beach, Calif., native, was in an on-and-off relationship with singer Avril Lavigne's current boyfriend, Brody Jenner.
While the pair quickly became a fan favorite on "The Hills," they decided to part ways after enduring years of drama- some of which was caused by their close friends.
Platonic friendships have also been among Conrad's dysfunctional relationships, and the former Teen Vogue intern recently took to her website to offer advice to a fan encountering the same friendship woes that Conrad once did on camera.
"It can be really hard to be the number one priority in someone's life and then suddenly feel like you have been replaced," Conrad wrote on her website. "I think the most important thing to remember is that when you are young, guys come and go, but real friends are forever. Sometimes we have to let our friends enjoy the beginning of a relationship knowing that we won't get to have as much time with them."
"It took me a while to learn this, but it's something that will be returned when you meet a great guy and want to be swept away for a while. My advice would be to do your best to be happy for her and just give her a little time. Then, if nothing changes just be honest about the way you are feeling," she added.
