Kristin Cavallari is fully committed to her relationship with Mark Estes, even though there is a 13-year age difference between them.
In a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest," Cavallari, who is 37 years old, opened up about dating a 24-year-old like Estes. She explained that it was not something she had planned or expected, but she believes that he is not like the typical 24-year-old. She understands that people may have their opinions about their relationship, but she is confident in their connection.
Cavallari shared a photo of her and Estes on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on February 27, expressing how happy he makes her in the caption.
Prior to this, fans began speculating about their relationship when a photo of Cavallari and Estes at the airport before their Mexico trip was shared by TMZ. It was revealed on Tuesday's podcast that Cavallari was in Mexico for a photoshoot for her Uncommon James jewelry line summer collection, with Estes accompanying her.
Cavallari shared on the podcast how much she adores her boyfriend, Estes. She recounted a sweet gesture he made by surprising her with flowers during their vacation, right before they went out for dinner.
She was touched by the effort he put into the surprise, mentioning that he could have simply bought a bouquet and handed it to her. Instead, he chose to hide the flowers and came up with a creative story. To her, the entire experience was incredibly heartfelt and sweet.

How They Met
Cavallari and Estes first met when she discovered him on TikTok. She started following Estes and his friends' Montana Boyz account and began engaging with their posts.
After three weeks, Cavallari received a direct message on Instagram from the Montana Boyz simply saying, "I love you." She shared this story on a podcast episode and decided to invite them as guests on a future show.
Months passed and they began to converse more frequently. She reflected, "The attraction was always present, but upon meeting him, I realized he's genuinely kind and good." She added, "He's always been sweet. Right from the start, he showed me so much kindness."
Meeting Her Children
Before going on her first official date with Estes, Cavallari introduced him to her kids. She has three children, sons Camden (11) and Jaxon (9), and daughter Saylor (8), from her previous marriage to Jay Cutler.
Right from the start, Cavallari's kids took a liking to Estes. She mentioned that her kids were big fans of him. Cavallari also shared that her children are really happy and excited for her.
The Age Difference Discourse
The 13-year age difference was touched on throughout the podcast episode.
She shared, "I truly believe that age is simply a number. It's more about the experiences you've had and how you were brought up. There are many factors that contribute to maturity besides just age."
At first, Cavallari confessed that she was concerned about the age difference. However, she now says, "I no longer care about that and I am fully committed to this relationship. I am not bothered by what others may think."
Hard-Launching Their Romance
Their Instagram hard launch was never the plan.
Voicing Her Concerns
Cavallari expressed that it may have been too soon to fully launch someone into the spotlight. Despite this, she felt a strong connection with the individual they were discussing. She shared that her publicist informed her about an upcoming article on TMZ about their relationship. Having been in the industry for two decades, Cavallari acknowledged the significant role that media plays in shaping narratives. She felt empowered to take control of her own narrative and story.
Cavallari was hesitant about getting into a relationship with Estes due to his young age and recent move to Nashville. She expressed her concerns by stating, "I’m following his lead on this, you guys. … I’m not going to put everything on blast — because I do care about him and this is different." She added, "I do want to, kind of, keep this one close to my chest, but he’s in a place where he’s ready for a relationship. And so here we f–king are."
