Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reconciled quickly after filing for divorce last summer, and now they’ve finally admitted it was all a hoax. The two former MTV reality stars recently revealed their motivations to Life & Style magazine.

According to the magazine, the duo spent the $10 million they earned while starring on The Hills, and now they’re on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.

“After they found out The Hills would not be renewed earlier this year, Heidi and Spencer concocted a plan to get attention by divorcing shortly after their anniversary. The reality duo tell Life & Style there was interest in a series covering their split from British TV network ITV, so they splashed down cash to move their act to Costa Rica. But that deal fell through and soon after, they called off the divorce proceedings and reunited.”

"Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi's career going because everyone hated me so much. Look at Sandra Bullock -- her divorce from Jesse James was the best thing to happen to her image,” Spencer Pratt illogically explained to the magazine. “Who wants to hire the jerk from The Hills?”

Now, there’s a $10 million question.
