During their Disney days, the two actresses were at war over Aaron Carter circa 2003. He was dating Hilary Duff after meeting on the Lizzie McGuire set in 2001 until he allegedly strayed with Lindsay Lohan. “I was dating [Duff] for like a year-and-a-half and then I just got a little bored so I went and I started getting to know Lindsay, dating Lindsay,” Carter told CNBC in 2005.

Fans of Laguna Beach may remember that Kristin Cavallari was dating Lauren Conrad’s BFF and crush Stephen Colletti during their time on the MTV show, which caused major tension between the then-high schoolers. Cavallari later said the love triangle was played up for the cameras, writing in her book, “One of the most hurtful things they did was pressure Stephen to spend time with another girl from the show, Lauren, while he and I were dating.”
