Kristin Cavallari, the reality TV star and entrepreneur, has a new man in her life: Mark Estes, a former college football player.
The 37-year-old Laguna Beach alum went Instagram official with her 24-year-old beau on Tuesday, after months of keeping their relationship private.
Cavallari shared a cozy selfie of the couple from their recent vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they enjoyed some sun, sand, and romance. She captioned the photo with a white heart, “He makes me happy 🤍”.
The internet has been reeling with the news since it was announced by the duo, with fans digging through the net to find out who her partner is.
A source close to the reality star told ET that the couple met through mutual friends and have been dating for a few months. They decided to go public with their relationship after the news broke on Tuesday. The source revealed that,
“Kristin and Mark have been taking things slowly and were keeping things private until the news broke today. Both responded to the rumors, and are fine with the news about their relationship now being public.”
Kristin Cavallari’s new romance comes nearly two years after she filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Jay Cutler, in April 2020. The former couple, who share three children, Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8, finalized their divorce in September 2022, after 10 years of marriage. They had made the announcement on Instagram saying,
After 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”
Since then, Cavallari has been linked to several men, including comedian Jeff Dye, country singer Chase Rice, and The Bachelor star Tyler Cameron. However, none of these relationships were serious or exclusive, and Cavallari maintained that she was just having fun and focusing on herself and her kids.
Kristin Cavallari is best known for her roles in MTV’s Laguna Beach and The Hills, as well as her own show, Very Cavallari, which chronicled her life and business ventures.
She is also the founder and CEO of Uncommon James, a lifestyle and jewelry brand, and the author of two books, Balancing in Heels and True Comfort. She recently made a cameo appearance on The Hills: New Beginnings, where she reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Brody Jenner.
