Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler finalized their divorce, and The Hills star revealed that her divorce helped her find herself. In April 2020, Kristin announced on Instagram that she and Jay had grown apart and were getting a divorce. It was later reported that marital misconduct on Jay's behalf caused Kristin to end the marriage. The two had been married for 10 years and share three children together, Camden Jack Cutler, 9, Jaxon Wyatt Cutler, 8, and Saylor James Cutler, 6. For their children's sake, the two have remained on cordial terms and have even spent the holidays together. However, there were also reports that the Chicago Bears player was making the split difficult and demanding money from Kristin's company, Uncommon James.
Luckily, Kristin has kept busy since her split. The jewelry company owner has been romantically linked to Southern Charm stars Austen Kroll and Craig Conover but denied hooking up with either of them. Fans also thought Kristin may have begun dating The Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron after they were seen kissing during a photoshoot for Uncommon James. However, the mother of three cleared up the rumors saying she's still single but knew that using Tyler for her campaign would bring a lot of attention to her brand.
Now that Kristin is officially divorced, the Laguna Beach star revealed that her split from Jay has helped her rediscover herself. In an interview with Page Six, Kristin explained that since Jay has her kids half the time, she's had more time to herself to hang out with her friends and build her jewelry brand. The star admits that her social life suffered a lot before her divorce because she was so busy balancing family and work. Now that she has more free time, she says, "in a lot of ways, it's been nice to kind of find myself again and have some time to put myself first."
Kristin's divorce has also allowed her to take a walk down memory lane with her Laguna Beach costar Stephen Colletti. The two dated in high school while appearing on the MTV reality series but have reunited as friends several times throughout the years. The two have begun recording their new podcast, Back to the Beach With Kristin and Stephen, and it's set to premiere this summer. Kristin previously called the experience therapeutic and seems to be having a great time rewatching the show and giving fans a behind-the-scenes scoop of what went down when cameras weren't rolling.
It's good to hear that Kristin's been able to take some time to rediscover herself now that Jay has their kids half of the time. It's a common issue for moms to put everything and everyone before themselves, and Kristin's definitely spreading the word about the importance of taking care of yourself too. The star's free time has certainly paid off as her brand is continuing to succeed, and her podcast and soon to hit the internet. Fans are definitely grateful The Hills star took time to herself.
