Lauren Conrad: 'I'm not a romantic'

Lauren Conrad doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day (14.02.11).

The former 'Hills' star - who has been dating 'My Boys' star Kyle Howard since 2008 - thinks people should not need an excuse to celebrate love and doesn't think of herself as "a romantic".

She said: "For me it's all about the little things that people do. I'm so not a romantic.

"I don't think you need a specific day to celebrate your love for someone. I think it can be a Tuesday. It's an everyday thing."

It was recently suggested the pair had become engaged, but the 25-year-old fashion designer has denied they are set to marry.

She said: "I think that's the fourth time that's happened. I'm gonna start a registry."

Although not into celebrating Valentine's Day, Lauren does admit she enjoys getting presents for her birthday - and earlier this month she received a "great" iPad case from Karl.

She added to People: "It was something I needed and it was great."
