Spencer Pratt is hoping his 12-hour detainment in a Costa Rican airport will bring him and estranged wife Heidi Montag back together.
"It was clear we're soul mates. I don't see any reason we can't get back on track," Pratt told The Associated Press.
Over the weekend, the couple was held in Costa Rica after security officers found two unloaded handguns in their luggage.
Pratt, 27, was coming back from a jungle retreat for "self-improvement" while Montag, 23, stayed at a villa nearby. They maintained that that the guns were for protection as they travelled to and from Costa Rica by private jet. Although they hadn't declared the weapons and had no permits with them, the Pratts were released after questioning and allowed to return to the U.S., police told the AP.
Spencer Pratt to write Heidi Montag tell-all
"As far as I'm concerned the last thing in the world after everything we have just been through is to go through with this divorce," Montag said.
Upon their return to California together, Pratt asked Montag if he could join her at a fundraising walk for cancer and she agreed, the AP reported. And noting that that Wednesday is Montag's 24th birthday, Pratt said he hoped to use that as a chance to "sweep her off her feet."
Update from TMZ
The people behind the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer are distancing themselves from Heidi and Spencer ... claiming the reality duo did not "officially" participate in Sunday's event -- even though Heidi posed for several photos in official Avon gear.
A rep for the organization tells us, "While Heidi and Spencer did not officially participate in the Avon Walk and were not there in any official capacity, we do appreciate their support of the cause and the event."
Sources at the race tell us Heidi and Spencer did not walk the course ... but merely showed up for a short while, took photos -- and then left.
Sooo ... Spencer contacted us with more details. He claims he and Heidi, "Accidentally happened upon the event, and immediately asked how we could participate. We would've loved to walk, but unfortunately Heidi's surgeries prevented that." Instead, Spencer says they bought "gear" to donate to the cause.
Spencer also corrected his rep's statement -- saying it's not a friend who had breast cancer ... he says, "My nana is in the hospital battling cancer right now -- so it's a cause that's extremely personal to me." Spencer says it's offensive for anyone to suggest this was just a "photo opportunity."
So her surgery prevents her from walking but she is able to surf and do yoga without any problems? They are ridiculous!
