Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag clarify their situation after receiving over $100,000 in donations following the loss of their home in a fire
Pratt, 41, expressed his frustration about being labeled as “rich celebrities.” He told Us Weekly that people only started calling them that after the fire. He insists they live a modest lifestyle and have been sharing their daily lives on social media for years.
He mentioned that they never asked for donations; it was the fans who stepped up to help. The couple lives paycheck to paycheck, and most of their money was tied up in their home, which is now gone. They have two young sons, Gunner and Ryker, and the support from fans has been overwhelming.
Pratt shared that the GoFundMe was created by fans on the first day after the fire, and they are incredibly grateful for the help. He compared the donations to buying a celebrity’s merchandise, saying people can choose to support whoever they want.
Montag, 38, also expressed her gratitude for the support. Fans have been streaming her 2010 album, “Superficial,” which even hit the top of the iTunes chart recently. The couple has been documenting their journey on social media, showing their appreciation for the kindness they’ve received.
The Palisades Fire started on January 7 and has burned over 23,000 acres, affecting many families, including other celebrities. Alongside fan support, several stars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Taylor Swift have also contributed to relief efforts. It’s been a tough time, but the couple feels the love from their fans.
