Kristin Cavallari, the former Laguna Beach star turned entrepreneur and influencer, recently revealed that she was dating another pro athlete after splitting with 24-year-old TikTok influencer, Mark Estes.
In an interview, Cavallari teased details of a blooming relationship. “He’s got so much depth and I just love talking to him. We connect on so many different levels.” Although the 37-year-old star appeared almost giddy about her new beau, Cavallari remained tight-lipped about who this mystery athlete is.
Before this, Cavallari also made headlines for her surprising revelations about A-lister, Jason Statham and country singer, Morgan Wallen. Here’s a quick Kristin Cavallari net worth update and a look back on her early life and rise to fame.

Kristin Cavallari Before Fame
Kristin Elizabeth Cavallari was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1987. She was the youngest of two children born to Judith Eifrig and Dennis Cavallari. Unfortunately, her parents divorced when she was eight.
Early Life
The split devastated Cavallari’s family. She was forced to move with her mother to Illinois and live with her step-father and step-brother. Her biological brother, Michael, and father relocated to Laguna Beach.

Desiring attention from her parents, Cavallari rebelled against her mother and was sent to live with her father in Laguna Beach. She then enrolled at a local Catholic high school before transferring to Laguna Beach High School in Southern California.
“I understand what they’re going through…because I’ve been through it,” Cavallari later said in a PEOPLE interview, reflecting on her kids following her divorce from NFL quarterback, Jay Cutler.
Rise to Stardom
In her junior year at Laguna Beach High School, Cavallari was cast for MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. And while she wasn’t paid much in the show, getting only about $2,500 for the first season, it paved the way for more opportunities.
“I honestly would have done it for free. At that point, in high school, to me, it was more of a competition,” Cavallari confessed in Dear Media’s Back to the Beach With Kristin and Stephen.
In 2009, she was pulled back to become the narrator of the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills. Cavallari bid her final goodbyes to the show in 2010 and refrained from joining the 2018 reboot of The Hills.

Around this time, however, Cavallari was already preparing for one of her most successful TV shows, Very Cavallari on E! Farther from the catty environment of her previous projects, the show gave the audience a glimpse into her entrepreneur-slash-mother life.
Final Thoughts
Kristin Cavallari has surely been through many headliner controversies. Despite all that, the iconic TV personality impressively maintained a positive outlook and character. That said, I’m sure having $30 million in the bank definitely helps, too.
