Kristin Cavallari didn’t mince words in response to critics scrutinizing her newfound romance with Mark Estes, who happens to be 13 years her junior.
In a defiant TikTok video, the mother of three mouthed along to an audio track, challenging her detractors, “So what are you going to do about it? Are you going to arrest me? Are you going to give me a ticket?”
Captioning the video uploaded on Saturday with “When they’re all up in arms that I’m dating a 24-year-old. Andddd?” Cavallari made her stance clear.
The former “Laguna Beach” star stirred chatter when she was seen enjoying a Mexican vacation with Estes earlier in the week.
Addressing speculation about their relationship, Cavallari took to Instagram on Thursday, sharing a photo of the couple with the caption, “He makes me happy,” confirming their romantic involvement.
Estes, a member of the TikTok group “Montana Boyz,” also joined in on sharing their affection publicly, posting a video packed with PDA alongside Cavallari, captioned “Ready to fall.”
The duo, looking stunning in swimsuits, displayed their affection poolside in Los Cabos, exchanging hugs and kisses.
Despite the attention their age gap garnered, sources revealed that their relationship is still in its early stages, with Cavallari finding Estes attractive and enjoying his flirtatious nature during their Mexico getaway.
Amidst the raised eyebrows over their age difference, a source close to Estes stated that they remain unaffected by the criticism, asserting, “They’re two consenting adults who like each other, so who cares?”
As Cavallari navigates this new romance, she continues to co-parent her three children — Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8 — with ex-husband Jay Cutler, from whom she filed for divorce in 2020.
