Kristin Cavallari recently disclosed that she went on a date with Will Hardy, the head coach of the Utah Jazz, several months ago. This revelation comes after Cavallari, 38, had taken a break from dating earlier this year. According to a source, Hardy, 37, traveled to Nashville to meet Cavallari but their connection did not progress beyond this initial outing. “It was one date and that was it,” the insider stated, adding that Cavallari did not see him again.
In October, Cavallari discussed her return to the dating scene during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest.” She explained that she felt ready to date again and made a wish to the universe. The following day, her agent set her up with Hardy, whom she described as “a big deal.” Despite the initial excitement, Cavallari quickly realized that the chemistry was not there. “I know after the first date if I’m going to like someone or not,” she reflected.
Cavallari emphasized her feelings about the date, stating that she enjoyed her time with Hardy but sensed it was not right for her. “I was trying to make it work,” she noted, but ultimately decided against pursuing further meetings. This date followed her decision to focus on her work and family, taking a deliberate pause from romance.
In December 2022, Cavallari mentioned she was dating a retired athlete, later revealing on her podcast that it was former NHL player Nate Thompson. She described their relationship as “the most honest, pure, amazing” connection she had experienced. However, the long-distance aspect presented challenges, leading to the end of their relationship earlier this year. Cavallari stated, “I just didn’t want to be in a relationship,” despite enjoying their time together.
The former star of “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” shares three children—sons Camden, 13, and Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9—with her ex-husband, former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Her marriage to Cutler lasted from 2013 until their separation in 2022.
Cavallari’s dating life has remained relatively low-profile this past year. She was last linked to Mark Estes, a contestant on “Special Forces,” for approximately seven months in 2024. Now, as Cavallari looks ahead, she has expressed excitement about her evolving dating landscape. “I don’t know the last time I talked about my dating life,” she remarked on her podcast. “Now it’s really picked back up, and I’m really excited about it.”
In addition to her personal pursuits, Cavallari is preparing for a reunion of “Laguna Beach,” which is scheduled to air next year. Last month, she traveled to Orange County, California, to film the special alongside fellow cast members Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti, as well as other high school classmates. As she balances her family life and career, Cavallari appears optimistic about her future, both personally and professionally.
