Kristin Cavallari has revealed her refined approach to love and dating, expressing a decisive shift in her romantic preferences. The 37-year-old reality star and entrepreneur, who split from her boyfriend Mark Estes over a month ago, opened up about her newfound clarity on the Nov. 5 episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast.
In a candid conversation, Cavallari shared her desire to distance herself from Hollywood’s dating scene, focusing instead on finding a grounded, mature partner—preferably someone outside the entertainment industry.
“I think I’m just so f—ing over Hollywood in general,” Cavallari confessed, explaining that her recent return to the dating pool has already attracted attention from prominent figures in the industry. However, she was resolute: “I am not looking to date anyone in entertainment, and I will never date anyone from the DMs ever again.” This firm stance, she implied, stems from her experience with Estes, whom she initially connected with via direct messages.
The Hills alum and founder of the popular jewelry brand Uncommon James also shed light on her intention to find a partner who brings more substance to the table. “I want someone who I can really learn from, someone who can teach me things,” Cavallari emphasized, adding, “Someone who can’t gain anything from me.” In her eyes, a genuine relationship hinges on mutual growth and authenticity rather than fame or status.
As a mother of three—Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8, from her previous marriage to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler—Cavallari noted that family considerations are paramount in her quest for a partner. Her ideal match, she quipped, would likely be an older man who is “already settled,” perhaps someone with a vasectomy to signal a stage in life compatible with hers.
In a bold declaration, Cavallari also revealed that she’s ready to consider marriage again. “My next boyfriend’s going to be my next husband,” she said, underscoring her commitment to finding a lasting partnership. “The next guy I’m serious about is going to be my next husband.”
Cavallari’s frankness about her dating standards reflects a mature shift in perspective, as she prioritizes stability and personal growth over Hollywood glitz. By sharing her clear intentions, Cavallari offers a window into her evolving values and aspirations, leaving fans with a glimpse of her uncompromising vision for love and partnership in this new chapter of her life.
