How Kristin Cavallari’s Kids Influence Her Dating Life and Choice in Men

Watch:Kristin Cavallari Gives an Update on Her Dating Life (Exclusive)

Kristin Cavallari is in a bit of a dry spell—and she actually likes it that way.

The Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour star recently shared a surprising update on her love life nearly eight months after her breakup with ex Mark Estes.

“It’s nonexistent,” the 38-year-old exclusively told E! News co-hosts Justin Sylvester and Keltie Knight during the June 10 broadcast. “It’s been like that this whole year. It’s so funny because everybody thinks that I have this wild, crazy dating life. I actually haven’t been on one date this entire year.”

Kristin explained that she ended her romance with the Montana Boyz content creator before she embarked on her Let’s Be Honest live podcast tour earlier this year for her new E! reality series.

“I didn’t want any distractions and I’ve just sort of kept that up,” she noted. “It’s actually been kind of nice.”

And while the Laguna Beach alum hasn’t been meeting any new possible love interests as of late, she will definitely rely on her kids Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9, to help her find “the one” when she’s ready.

Looking Back at Kristin Cavallari’s Star-Studded Dating History

“They have very strong opinions, it’s so funny,” Kristin—who finalized her divorce from Jay Cutler in 2022—revealed. “And they’ve only been around one person in the last five years, it was Mark, my ex. But I’m very honest with them and tell them, ‘I’m talking to so and so,’ and just based off of photos or whatever, they have very strong opinions.”

She added, “They’re more my rules, and now they agree with them.”

As for what those rules are?

“Someone older,” Kristin noted, “someone with kids already, someone not in the public eye would be nice. I want a normal guy.”

That means there’s no chance she and longtime flirty friend Harry Jowsey will take their relationship romantic.

“He doesn’t check my boxes,” she admitted of the Too Hot to Handle star. “He’s younger than me, he doesn’t have kids. It’s a no-go. I love Harry, though.”

And not even the occasional d–k pic from Harry, 28, will change that.

“I love him and I love that he sent me that photo, but no,” she reacted with a laugh. “He really is the best and he’s gonna make a girl so happy one day. But, no, he’s not for me.”

Clowning Around

Kristin Cavallari wished her son Jaxon, her middle with ex Jay Cutler, a “happy birthday” in a May 2022 post for his 8th birthday, concealing his face behind a gold eight balloon. 
“Every year it gets harder to come up with creative ways to hide their faces so I can post a pic on bdays,” she wrote. “Yes, I realize a lot of you don’t get it – I want my kids to make their own decision to be on social media.”
She continued, “Part rebel, part kind, sweet soul, there’s never a dull moment with you. Keep being you and growing into this incredible young man.”

Weekends Together

Notoriously keeping her children’s faces off social media, Kristin shared a sweet photo of her three kids, Camden, Jaxon and Saylor walking their dog. 
“These weekends make me happy,” the reality star captioned the September 2022 post. “Heart full.”

Happy Birthday

Wishing Saylor, whom she and Jay welcomed in November 2015, a happy birthday, Kristin shared a picture of the two walking together, with her daughter’s face turned away from the camera. On the November 2022 post, she gushed over her youngest.
“You are equal parts tough and sweet, strong and sensitive, tomboy and girlie,” she wrote. “You take care of everyone and have the biggest heart. My favorite gift is being your mama.”

Meeting the Kids

The reality star introduced her then-boyfriend Mark Estes to her kids giving just a month after she and the Montana Boyz member started dating. And she detailed that meeting on a March 2024 Instagram Story post featuring him walking with one of her sons. 
While her kids have been skeptical about her dating history, they warmed up to Mark—with whom she ultimately split in September 2024—quickly. 
“My boys were so excited about him,” she explained on her Let’s Be Honest podcast that same month. “I think more than anything, my kids are really excited for me. My kids really want to see me be happy and I’ve been very good about separating my dating life.”

Say Cheese

In September 2024, Kristin revealed her son Camden—whom she and Jay welcomed in August 2012—decided it was time for him to be more active on social media. So, he made a rare appearance in his mom’s cooking video.
“I appreciate everyone DMing me telling me that I showed Camden’s face,” Kristin later shared in a video on Instagram. “I know. He’s a little bit older now and he wants to be on social media, which is the only reason why I showed him.”
She went on to explain how she wants her kids to be able to decide if they want to be on social media, adding, “He’s 12 going on 28, so he is mature enough to make that decision now.”

Girls Night at the Rink

Kristin shared a rare glimpse of her and hockey fan daughter Saylor at a Nashville Predators game together in December 2024. The Laguna Beach alum’s daughter sported a yellow Predators jersey and a “Go Preds” face decal. 

Vote for Jaxon

In a rare glimpse at her middle child Jaxon, born in May 2014, Kristin shared a picture of him working on a class election poster to her Instagram Story January 28, reading, “Vote Jaxon for Mayor.”
This was the second time the Very Cavallari alum has shown his face on social media since he was born.

Right at Home

Kristin shared a glimpse into home life in Tennessee in a February 2025 post on Instagram featuring Saylor. Gushing over their bond, she showed how the two of them are spending their time in the winter baking and walking in the snow, captioning the photo carousel, “homebodies.”

Freakin’ Good

Trying the iconic Hattie B’s chicken for the first time, Kristin shared a video with her and her son Camden at the popular Nashville chain. 
“Never had it all these years,” Kristin said in a March 2025 Instagram Story. “Is it hot?”
Camden replied after trying a piece of the chicken, “Not really.”
The Hills alum and her son gave it the stamp of approval, captioning the story, “Wait, honestly, so freakin’ good.”
