Kristin Cavallari Embraces Her Montana Beau Mark Estes at Stagecoach Event

Kristin Cavallari and her boyfriend Mark Estes were spotted looking cozy at Stagecoach Festival. Cavallari, who is 37 years old, shared a photo on her Instagram Story on Saturday, April 27. In the picture, she and Estes, who is 24, were standing close to each other at the music festival in Indio, California. Stagecoach Festival runs from April 26 to Sunday, April 28.

Cavallari is seen in the photo with her long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. She is wearing a grey, oversized button-up shirt with short denim bottoms, paired with dark cowboy boots. On the other hand, Estes is dressed in brown shoes, light-wash jeans, a baseball jersey, and a black baseball hat.

The couple, Cavallari and Estes, were seen together at Stagecoach festival. This was almost a week after Estes shared with We exclusively that their relationship is "as serious as it gets."

The Laguna Beach alum recently started dating Jeff Dye, announcing their relationship on Instagram in February with a caption that said, “He makes me happy.” Despite their age gap (Estes is 13 years younger than Cavallari), she has faced criticism from some people.

Mark Estes, along with Kaleb Campbell Winterburn and Kade Wilcox, make up the TikTok account Montana Boyz. When asked about negative comments, Estes shared, "I don’t dive too deep into that. People are going to talk no matter what you’re doing. I just brush it off my shoulder and if it makes me happy, that’s what I’m going to do." Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes can be seen in a photo posted on Kristin Cavallari's Instagram.

Wilcox, 22, shared with Us about his friend's relationship, expressing that it can be challenging due to the negative opinions from others. Despite this, he emphasized that both he and his friend are aware of who they are.

On her podcast, "Let's Be Honest," Cavallari also discussed her relationship with Estes in an episode that was released on March 12. She mentioned that dating a 24-year-old was not something she had planned for or expected, acknowledging the potential judgment from the outside world. However, she highlighted that Estes is not a typical 24-year-old.

She initially felt concerned about their age gap, but now she believes in the saying that "age is just a number."

She expressed, "I don't care anymore and I'm fully committed to this man. I truly don't care about others' opinions. It's not just about age, but also about life experiences and upbringing that contribute to maturity."

Cavallari's candidness about her concerns and her ultimate acceptance of Estes' maturity challenges the notion that age alone determines the viability of a partnership. It emphasizes the importance of individuality, life experiences, and mutual understanding in defining a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Moreover, the article sheds light on the pressure and judgment faced by individuals in the public eye. Cavallari and Estes' relationship has faced criticism, but their resilience and commitment to each other demonstrates the power of prioritizing personal happiness and disregarding societal expectations. It also highlights the need for greater acceptance and tolerance in matters of love and relationships, regardless of age or any other defining characteristics.
