Kristin Cavallari spoke about the ‘benefit’ of staying friends with her exes, just days before news broke that she and Mark Estes split after seven months of dating.
During Tuesday’s episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast, the Uncommon James founder, 37, spoke about remaining on good terms with her previous romantic partners during an interview with her ex Jason Walsh.
While reflecting on how she and Walsh, who works as a personal trainer, have remained ‘good’ pals over the years, Cavallari explained: ”I think it’s because we were always honest with each other.’
‘There was always mutual respect and we never let it get weird after either,’ she noted.
Walsh, 48, was the ‘first person’ Cavallari dated following her divorce from Jay Cutler.

The trainer also stated they have a mutual ‘admiration’ of one another and still work out together when she is in Los Angeles.
‘You know my story, where I came from, what my motives are in life [and] what I want to accomplish. It’s pretty simple stuff,’ he said. ‘I look back at my humble beginnings and staying true to myself. I want to stay genuine and authentic. I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I just think that there’s a lot of admiration and respect for one another.’
Walsh continued, ‘I consider you one of my really close and best friends because I trust you implicitly. I love seeing you go through your maturation as a woman and being able to do things.’
Cavallari also told listeners that they ‘just want the best for each other.’
The reality TV star recently ended her romance with Estes, 24.
The mother-of-three confirmed her single status to podcast host Alex Cooper during her Unwell tour stop in Austin, Texas.
She noted that the split was still ‘fresh.’
Kristin previously revealed that Mark first came to her attention in September 2023 when she was going through TikTok and she immediately thought he was ‘so hot.’

Speaking on her podcast in March 2024, she said: ‘Back in like September, I’m scrolling and I come across this boy group, I guess you could call them, The Montana Boyz. So I go, “Holy s***-, who are these guys?” Because they’re so hot. Specifically this one, who I’m gonna refer to as Montana.’
She then received a message from their account saying ‘I love you’ and she invited them on to her podcast, where she immediately hit it off with Mark.
Kristin said: ‘That attraction was always there, but when I met him, I was like, he’s actually a really nice, good guy. He’s very sweet from the jump. He was so sweet to me.
‘Me dating a 24-year-old is not something that I was searching out. It’s not something that I at all ever thought would ever happen. I understand what it looks like to the outside world. I really do. I get that. He is not a typical 24-year-old.
‘I think it’s a lot of things. I think sex for women just gets better as you get older. Because I think women, when you’re in your early 20s and stuff, you’re insecure in a lot of ways, you’re worried about your body or what [you] look like. I’ve let all of that go and I think I am more present physically during sex than I’ve ever been. And I’m so wildly attracted to [Mark]. And I just think we have really hot sex.’
Kristin was previously married to Cutler for seven years before they separated in 2020.
The reality TV star and the Montana Boyz TikToker, 24, reportedly ended their short-lived romance recently, with Cavallari telling podcast host Alex Cooper during her Unwell tour stop in Austin, Texas, that the split was ‘fresh’
She and the former NFL player share sons Camden and Jaxon as well as daughter Saylor.
Cavallari has previously been romantically linked to Stephen Colletti, Matt Leinart, Brody Jenner, Nick Lachey, Chris Evans and Chase Rice.
