Spencer Pratt has yet to make an official public appearance since he was officially ruled out of the Los Angeles mayoral race, but wife Heidi Montag appears to be shifting the spotlight back to her own music career.
Montag, 39, who best known for her years on reality television alongside Pratt, was photographed in Montecito carrying a microphone Wednesday as she made her way through the upscale Santa Barbara County community on her way to a gym.
Dressed casually in sweatpants and sunglasses, the mother-of-two smiled and waved toward photographers while heading through the area into her workout.
Montag may have been heading to rehearsals after her gym workout as she’s got a performance booked later this summer.
Montag is booked for the Neon Skies Festival in Edmonton, Alberta, July 18.
Festival organizers say the performance will feature songs from her albums Superficial and Heidiwood, along with her most recent single, “Ex Machina.”
Montag is continuing to balance her entertainment career years after first rising to fame on MTV’s The Hills while dealing with the national buzz over her husband’s headline-making run for mayor.
Spencer was photographed earlier this week in his first public outing since falling behind rival candidate Nithya Raman in the closely watched Los Angeles mayoral race – but has yet to make an official statement conceding the mayor’s race against incumbent Karen Bass and socialist Nithya Raman.
Spencer has, however, continued to reference the mayor’s race on social media, clapping back at petty putdowns from the likes of liberal late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel.
Pratt was pictured walking through a parking lot in Carpinteria while wearing a black “HEIDIWOOD” T-shirt promoting Montag’s music.
He paired the shirt with black shorts, sneakers and a baseball cap while carrying a bag through the coastal community.
Montag’s relationship with Pratt was one of the hit MTV reality show “The Hills” defining storylines.
The pair later returned to television on “The Hills: New Beginnings” and have continued building their media presence through projects including their podcast, “The Fame Game with Spencer and Heidi.”
Outside television, Montag launched a music career with the release of her 2010 album “Superficial.”
With Pratt’s political campaign now behind him, the latest pictures of both suggest they are turning back towards entertainment.
