Biography |
Whitney Port is an American television show personality. She
is most famous for her former role on the MTV reality
television series The Hills and later, as the star of her
own show, The City. She is a former fashion contributor for
Teen Vogue and now works for Diane von Fürstenberg.
Port was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She is
the daughter of Jeffery and Vicki Lyn Port. She is the third
youngest of five brothers and sisters. Her father, Jeff, is
the owner of a fashion company called Swarm.
Port attended Warner Avenue Elementary School. She then went
to Crossroads School for the Arts and Sciences for middle
school and high school. In 2007, Port graduated from the
University of Southern California (USC) with a degree in
gender studies, where she roomed with Christina Schuller,
former Laguna Beach cast member and friend of Lauren Conrad
and also dated Tommy Jones III.
As of 2007, Port's parents, her brother, Ryan, her sisters,
Paige, Jade and Ashley, also live in Los Angeles,
California.
Port, who is by her own admission not as comfortable with
the spotlight as her other costars, explained her decision
not to move in with Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge in
season three of The Hills: "I prefer to keep some things
private." Nonethless, she eventually allowed MTV to produce
a spin off from The Hills, her own show titled The City.
On The City, Port dated Australian musician, Jay Lyon.
Towards the finale of the season, Port and Lyon ended their
relationship. However, on the After Show, Whitney has stated
that she still "loves" Jay.
Although Port relocated to New York to work for Diane Von
Furstenburg, it has been revealed that following the season
finale of The City Port has returned to former employer
Kelly Cutrone to work once again with People's Revolution. |
