Kristin Cavallari recently announced that she has split from her 24-year-old influencer boyfriend, Mark Estes, after seven months of dating. The breakup was confirmed by Cavallari herself during a live show in Austin, Texas hosted by Alex Cooper. The former reality television star revealed to the audience that she was “newly single,” although she did not provide many details about their split, only stating that it was “fresh.”
The split between Cavallari and Estes came just weeks after Estes appeared on Cavallari’s podcast, where he discussed his “end goals” for their relationship. During the episode, he mentioned his desire to get married and have children, but also expressed that they didn’t need to rush into making any serious decisions at that time. Cavallari, who shares three children with her ex-husband Jay Cutler, had only recently started dating Estes after discovering him on social media in September 2023.
Estes gained popularity as part of a social media group called the “Montana Boyz” with whom he created cowboy-themed content that went viral. Despite facing criticism because of a past incident where he was accused of felony assault, Estes never faced charges. Cavallari shared photos of herself and Estes on various trips, including one to Mexico where she wrote that he made her happy. The couple even discussed having the best sex of their lives in a recent podcast episode.
Cavallari and Estes had been in a relationship since February 2024, with Estes joining Cavallari on her podcast to talk about their future together just a few weeks before their breakup. Estes expressed his desire to have children and get married, but also stated that they didn’t need to rush into any decisions. Despite their short-lived romance, Cavallari and Estes appeared to have a strong connection, as seen through their social media posts and public outings.
The breakup between Cavallari and Estes comes as a surprise to many, as the couple seemed to be enjoying their time together and had even discussed their future plans. While Cavallari did not provide many details about their split, it is clear that their relationship had come to an end. Following the breakup, Cavallari will once again be navigating the dating world as a single mother of three, while Estes will continue to focus on his influencer career.
