Kristin Cavallari is getting candid about the end of her marriage to Jay Cutler, days after the former NFL quarterback was arrested for DUI in Tennessee.
Cavallari released the latest episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Honest” and started with a quick comment about her ex-husband’s arrest.
“Really quickly, right before we start the episode, I want to jump in here and let you know that this episode was taped right before a very public incident happened last week with my ex-husband, so keep that in mind as you listen,” she said.

“I’m not going to comment on what happened,” she said of Cutler’s arrest. “Of course, I wish Jay nothing but the best and I hope he gets the help he needs. But that’s the only thing I’m going to say publicly about it.”

Cavallari and Cutler famously had a tumultuous relationship, officially divorcing in 2022, despite announcing their split two years earlier. They have three children together: Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8.
After briefly mentioning Cutler’s DUI on her podcast, Cavallari spoke about the end of their marriage.
“I was heartbroken in my marriage. And even though I was the one who left, it wasn’t what I wanted. It wasn’t what I envisioned. And I really tried my best.”

“It’s heartbreaking when you want something so much and you can’t have it,” she continued. “And I can say that my heart was broken for many years in my marriage – I mean it.”
She went on to clarify that she wasn’t trying to disparage her ex. “I absolutely don’t talk about Jay. I really don’t. And I think, you know, I’ve said some things publicly,” she admitted.
“And now I don’t really talk about him anymore, but I will say, we’re in the best place we’ve ever been, and it’s been four and a half years [since the divorce] and it’s been four years.”

“But things are really good for us now, to the point where we even sat together at one of Camden’s basketball games recently. And that makes me so happy because honestly, I never thought we would get there.”

Earlier this month, Cavallari announced that her custody agreement with Cutler had changed.
“Last fall, you know, I was still sharing custody with my ex and I was on a week off from the kids,” she explained on her podcast. “And that changed, so I’m really happy and really content with my life now with my kids and my work.”
