Kristin Cavallari burst onto the scene
in 2004 as a sassy love rival to Queen B
Lauren Conrad on MTV's hit reality show
Laguna Beach 15 years later Cavallari is
a successful entrepreneur and a happily
married mother of three her
transformation in that time has been
extraordinary considering our defining
image of Kristin Cavallari as a bronzed
bleach-blonde teen in a June skirt and
flip-flops it's surprising to learn
she's not originally from California
Cavallari was actually born in Denver
Colorado she spent many of her formative
years worlds away from the warm climes
of Laguna Beach speaking to CV Lux
Cavallari explained I lived in a suburb
of Chicago throughout my entire junior
high years although she'd settled back
on the west coast with her father by the
time the MTV cameras rolled in Cavallari
went East again before ultimately
landing in Nashville Kristin Cavallari
almost didn't end up on Laguna Beach
because she wasn't in school the first
day producers came by however Cavallari
was adamant about being cast in the Ben
fledging show marching back into school
the next day and demanding her shot
considering that she went on to become
one of the scene stealing stars on the
show she must have been pretty
convincing although Laguna Beach was a
mega hit Cavallari father was puzzled by
its appeal meanwhile Kristin understood
the show's popularity but she was upset
about her portrayal she told a news no
one ever told me like hey by the way
you're the villain I was so young I mean
I was 17 18 so - all of a sudden have
people saying what a [ __ ] I was that
was really hard actually yeah did you
see Casey's dress oh my girls ridiculous
you guys I got cheaper Casey looks like
a cheap she died in an interview with
HuffPost Laguna Beach producer Gary
Auerbach maintained met Lauren Conrad
and Kristin Cavallari really couldn't
stand each other
however the publication noted Cavallari
made it clear to them that wasn't the
case according to Kristen we will never
as big of enemies as they wanted it to
be
it's just one of those relationships
that loves to get played out but it's
not quite as it seems
Cavallari told people she felt the
situation was manipulated particularly
the supposed love triangle between her
Conrad and Stephen Colletti Kristin said
I also felt as though my real-life
boyfriend Stephen Colletti was being put
in situation's he normally wouldn't have
been in they were making it seem like
there was this love triangle with
co-star Lauren Conrad
although Cavallari admitted to HuffPost
that Conrad was never her best friend
MTV allegedly blew things out of
proportion for ratings considering the
alleged manipulation at the heart of
Laguna Beach Kristin Cavallari 'he's
time on the show understandably left her
cynical about romantic relationships as
she discussed in her autobiography
balancing heal the way for relationship
was Stephen Colletti was tested during
the show seriously affected her on one
side it seemed like the producers were
trying to break us up
which was intimidating on the other side
I was worried that my relationship with
Stephen was becoming less stable even
though I knew if I hadn't been on
television he wouldn't have been
spending time with another girl
the couple worked through it but
couldn't fix everything we talked about
everything the entire time but that
still didn't make it easy I think always
having my guard up for those couple of
years filming may be reluctant to trust
Madden in 2009 after Lauren Conrad left
the hills Cavallari rose to the occasion
and happily took her place this time
around however she treated it as a job
telling people I had my life on the show
and the lines weren't blurred so it was
really fun for me I took control and I
had a good experience doing it in an
interview with Mom tastic she explained
the difference between starring on the
two shows Laguna Beach was really our
lives being manipulated by being put in
situation's we never would have been in
normally and when I joined the hills we
filmed three different scenes three days
a week I had my life on camera and a
completely different life off camera I
knew the character they wanted me to
play and this time I was game
as much as Cavallari was happy to live
up her reputation as a reality TV
villain the star also wasn't shy about
revealing which parts of her tenure on
the hills were closer to fantasies when
Cavallari made an appearance on watch
what happens live a caller asked how she
felt about Whitney port statement that
one of the biggest cliff hangers in the
hills history was completely fabricated
surprisingly Cavallari acknowledged that
although court's storyline happened
before her time on the show she wasn't
surprised at all to hear it was fake I
can tell you most of my stuff wasn't
real say that maybe it's true and
balancing in heels
the reality star details her unusual
courtship with the father of her kids
Jay Cutler Cavallari originally broke
off their engagement back in July 2011
but quickly reconciled with the since
retired Chicago Bears quarterback
subsequently announcing she was pregnant
that November they got married in June
2013 less than a year after welcoming
their eldest son Camden Josh Cavallari
wrote relationships are hard work
especially with kids but those couple
months of being broken up showed us how
much we meant to each other and how much
we were both willing to do whatever it
takes to make our relationship work
that's desire to make the relationship
work
obviously extends to their children
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler have
three children together with their
second son Jackson foreign and 2014
followed by daughters Baylor at the
following year speaking to today
Cavallari explained how motherhood
completely changed her for the better I
really feel like I'm finally in a place
where this is what I'm supposed to be
doing this is what I meant for it this
is wearing the happiest I felt like I
really came into my own when I became a
mom after the hills wrapped in 2010
Cavallari turned her attention to more
creative pursuits designing a shoe line
for Chinese Laundry in 2012 and
releasing balancing in girls in 2014 in
2017 she launched her own jewelry
company uncommon James speaking to the
skinny confidential Cavallari said that
launching her super chic jewelry line
just made sense in the trajectory of her
career I love being in the accessories
world since I think they make or break
your outfit jewelry was the next natural
step for me and
and James it's very special since it's
my own company as for what kind of woman
Cavallari has in mind when designing
their pieces
she said the modern woman a girl on the
go who doesn't want to spend ten minutes
trying on jewelry she wants fashion to
be easy throw these pieces on and never
take them off after making homes in
Chicago Laguna Beach in Los Angeles
Cavallari finally settled down in the
suburbs of Nashville Tennessee speaking
to area publication The Tennessean
Cavallari noted the city has deeper
meaning for her and Jay Cutler the first
weekend we ever really hung out we
actually came to Nashville it was only
24 hours but I completely fell in love
we bought the house at the intention to
be here full-time and raise our family
here when Jay was done playing football
the couple spent much of Cutler's
offseason in Nashville and moved there
permanently
once you retired very Cavallari in which
Cavallari both stars of works of the
secular producer debuted in 2018 she
told L a few different things had to
line up to bring her back into this
world the Cavallari felt the store and
its many eccentric employees would be a
fitting backdrop still she was anxious
about her attorney noting I had a little
moment right before we started filming
us oh my god I think I made the wrong
decision but that quickly went away as
soon as we started filming Cavallari
also appreciated working behind the
scenes on the show as well adding that
working with the team of producers that
respect and value my creative direction
of the show is such a dream come true
Kristin Cavallari was quick to note
however that her return to reality TV
wasn't primarily focused on her Jay
Cutler was only featured when he wanted
to appear while the two parents decided
to keep their kids off-camera entirely
until they're old enough to make the
decision for themselves she was framed
with all about Cutler's feelings on
filming admitting he really doesn't want
anything to do with reality TV to be
quite honest but he's doing it to
support me and he understands what a
good opportunity it is for me the very
Cavallari star was careful to ensure
Cutler was comfortable while the couple
kept certain parts of their home life
completely under wraps
she told L you'll never see the master
bedroom for example we don't just want
to make sure we have some stuff that's
just for us that's private with her shoe
line for jewelry line to books and a
brand new reality TV show it's difficult
to imagine Kristin Cavallari fitting
anything else into a work schedule
however in 2019 she collaborated with
longtime hairstylist Justin Anderson on
a new blogging brush so fans could
emulate her signature tresses still
uncommon James is her baby and nowhere
is capillaries passion
evident she spoke to TV insider about
exposing her business to criticism and
very Cavallari noting putting those
company vulnerabilities out there can be
scary but it's also very real we're all
learning and growing I feel like I'm
working really hard right now to get the
corporate things in a really great place
it's difficult to imagine but the
Kristin Cavallari oblivion the beach in
the Hills wasn't as confident as she let
on it's only now that Cavallari truly
feels like herself
as she told Bella magazine in 2016 I'm
in a good place and I'm ready to let
people in she reiterated that sentiment
and balancing in heels when she wrote
I'm comfortable in my own skin
and I'm no longer affected by what
others say this is nice there's no
sugarcoating Who I am
after spending a decade together and
being merry 4:7 Kristin Cavallari and
Jay Cutler announced that they were
filing for divorce in April 2020 the
reality star took to Instagram to share
the news of fans writing in the caption

been growing apart and she asked for
privacy to figure out the situation with
their family the divorce documents filed

Cavallari refused to get involved in the
mudslinging she conducted an Instagram
live session with BFF Justin Anderson
but she did not offer any insight into
her divorce instead focusing on her
children on may 19 20 20 just a few
weeks after making her divorce from

Kristin Cavallari shocked fans with

more she wrote on Instagram as I start
