Kristin Cavallari has embarked on a new romantic journey with a much younger beau.
The former “Laguna Beach” star, aged 37, unveiled her relationship with 24-year-old athlete Mark Estes in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
In the snapshot, taken during their getaway to Los Cabos, Mexico, Cavallari and Estes are seen posing for a selfie, radiating happiness. Cavallari captioned the image with a simple declaration: “He makes me happy.”
Estes, a TikTok sensation, later shared a video on the platform capturing intimate moments between the couple by a pool. Set to the tune of Gloriana’s “Kissed You Good Night,” the clip portrays them embracing affectionately, with Cavallari wrapping her legs around Estes’ waist at one point.
A close source to Estes disclosed exclusively to Page Six that while Cavallari and the TikToker are not officially in a relationship, they have been conversing for several weeks. The insider revealed, “Kristin thinks Mark is super hot. He’s very flirtatious, and she’s loving it… They were down in Mexico for just a few days but had a lot of fun together. It’s still new.”
According to Estes’ Instagram bio, he hails from Montana and previously played football for Montana State University and Montana Tech. He currently resides in Nashville, while Cavallari lives in nearby Franklin, Tennessee.
Estes, who transitioned into modeling after his college football career, reflected on his athletic journey in a November 2023 Instagram post, expressing gratitude for the experiences and relationships garnered through the sport.
While Estes’ previous romantic connections remain undisclosed, Cavallari has been linked to several notable figures since her divorce from ex-husband Jay Cutler in 2020. Despite her active social life, Cavallari emphasized in a June 2023 interview with E! News that dating was not a priority for her. As a devoted mother to her three children, she stressed the importance of prioritizing her role as a parent above all else.
Reflecting on her recent years, Cavallari emphasized her focus on reconnecting with friends and prioritizing personal growth, suggesting that her romantic endeavors are currently taking a backseat to her familial and social commitments.
