Kristin Cavallari, the star of *Laguna Beach*, has had a whirlwind romance history. From her high-school sweetheart Stephen Colletti, documented on MTV, to her marriage with Jay Cutler, and a series of relationships in between, Cavallari’s love life has been anything but dull. Let’s delve into the captivating journey of her romantic escapades.
Her relationship with Stephen Colletti, which began before *Laguna Beach*, became a focal point of the show, creating one of television’s most memorable love triangles. While their high school romance couldn’t survive the transition to adulthood, the two remain friends. Another *Laguna Beach* connection, Talan Torriero, also had a brief, on-again, off-again relationship with Cavallari during high school. Following her time on *Laguna Beach*, she briefly dated Matt Leinart, USC’s star quarterback. Later, a romance with Brody Jenner, initially kept quiet, became a storyline on *The Hills*.
Cavallari’s dating life continued to evolve. She dated Nick Lachey, sparking intense media attention, an experience she later described as overwhelming. A more serious relationship with actor Nick Zano even led to a tattoo of his initials, later removed. She was also briefly linked to Chris Evans. Interestingly, while filming *The Hills*, she secretly dated MTV cameraman Miguel Medina, a relationship kept hidden from her co-stars.
Her marriage to Jay Cutler resulted in three children, Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor. While the marriage ultimately ended in divorce, Cavallari has since spoken openly about the experience and its impact on her personal growth. Post-divorce, she had relationships with comedian Jeff Dye and country singer Chase Rice, both relatively short-lived. She then revealed a past relationship with country singer Morgan Wallen, describing him as a great “f–k buddy.” A more substantial relationship followed with TikTok star Mark Estes, lasting seven months before ending due to their significant age gap.
Most recently, Cavallari confirmed a relationship with retired NHL player Nate Thompson. Thompson, in a podcast appearance, confirmed the relationship but also clarified that it didn’t last. He spoke highly of Cavallari, describing her as a “cool person” and stating that they had a good time together. The relationship, while significant for both, ultimately didn’t work out, adding another chapter to Cavallari’s complex and fascinating dating history.
