Kristin Cavallari Reflects On Breakup
Kristin Cavallari is going public with her breakup from Mark Estes. Kristin-Calvaller-turned-24-turnout-to-tits-age-Gucci-creative-director The 37-year old Uncommon James founder wanted to set the record straight on her decision to split with 24-year-old boyfriend, Mark Estes. During an episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, Cavallari said that it wasn’t about Estes not being the best boyfriend she’s ever had, but rather that even though they both felt like they were 33 years old mentally and emotionally, she was actually turning 20 at the end of the year.
What mattered considerably had been the age difference.
He eventually told her he would resent her if they were in different places; she, likewise, started feeling the effects of their age difference and knew it wouldn’t work out long-term for either party. “Then it started to hit me that almost 20 years separates us and he has a little more living that he needs to do,” she continued. Cavallari then reflected on her life and how different she was at 24 compared to herself now, telling Kelley that it was ‘just as important’ of a time for personal growth.
I look back at myself when I was 24 and so much life happened for me between then and now He has to go through those years himself,” she said.
The Perfect Relationship, But Not At the Right Time
Even after they split, Cavallari only had nice things to say about Estes, telling PEOPLE their relationship was ‘definitely the best’ of her life. She thinks Estes will “bring joy to someone so badly & have the most beautiful family.” In a follow-up she also talked of hoping Estes “will one day look back and thank her” for the move. She added: “That’s just, like, 24-year-old hindsight.”
