Former Bears star Jay Cutler's ex-wife Kristin Cavallari opens up about life after exiting 'unhappy marriage'
Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was married to ex-wife Kristin Cavallari for over seven years before the two decided to part ways. Cavallari has opened up about her divorce multiple times over the years, describing her marriage as 'unhappy.'
In an interview with Bustle, Kristin Cavallari was asked about her post-divorce life. She shared that she is at peace and happier now.
“[The divorce] was when I let go of a lot of control, and I let life unfold before me instead of trying to plan everything and control everything. I’m way happier and I’m way more at peace in my life, so it’s working for me,” Kristin Cavallari said.
Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari started dating in 2010, almost a year after the former quarterback asked the model out on a date. In less than a year, the two got engaged. They broke up just a few months later but got back together before the end of 2011.
In 2013, the couple exchanged vows and got married in Nashville. They decided to go their separate ways in 2020 and Kristin Cavallari broke the news in an Instagram post.
"With great sadness, 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," Cavallari wrote.
During her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast episode in June, Cavallari shared that she has since had some positive physical changes after the divorce.
Kristin Cavallari highlights how "unhappy marriage" with Jay Cutler impacted her overall health
In the same podcast episode, Kristin Cavallari explained that she has been on the same diet for years, but the only difference now is that she's getting healthier because she isn't married anymore.
"[3:37] The difference was, I was so unhappy and so stressed out. I look back at photos from that time period and I am like, ‘Holy sh*t! I was rail f**king thin. I was skin and bones. I looked like sh*t,'" Cavallari said.
"I think I look so much better now. And you guys, that was just stress. That was being in a really unhappy marriage, quite honestly. Literally, I was so unhappy and I had way too much on my plate," the actress added.
Cavallari has moved on from her previous marriage and is currently dating TikTok fitness influencer Mark Estes. She made their relationship Instagram official via a post on February 28.
