In the June 18 episode of Really Cavallari: The Headline Tour, the 38-year-old reality TV star and successful entrepreneur candidly discussed her 2020 divorce from former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. During this episode, she addressed the persistent speculation surrounding his supposed involvement in her thriving business, Uncommon James, highlighting the importance of recognizing her own contributions to her brand’s success.

“Our revenue is close to $50 million a year,” Cavallari revealed, emphasizing her financial success. “However, because I was clearly a WAG—wives and girlfriends of athletes, for those unfamiliar—people love to say that everything I have in my life is due to my ex-husband and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James.” This statement underscores the biases often faced by women in business, particularly those with high-profile relationships.

However, Cavallari made it abundantly clear that it was she, and she alone, who built her brand from the ground up, demonstrating the power of self-determination and entrepreneurial spirit.

“But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I have never taken any outside funding,” she asserted, reinforcing her independence and commitment to her business integrity.

When it comes to finances from her ex-husband, she emphatically stated, “I’ve never gotten a penny from my ex-husband. I did not receive any money from our divorce, so let’s just clear that up.” This declaration highlights her desire to reclaim her narrative and emphasize her self-sufficiency.

Later in the episode, Cavallari opened up to her best friend and celebrity hairstylist Justin Anderson about her life post-divorce. She discussed how her approach to dating has evolved since her split from Cutler, with whom she shares three children: Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9, illustrating the unique challenges of navigating relationships as a single mother.

“It became really f–king hard,” she expressed regarding her re-entry into the dating scene. “I’m not going for toxic anymore. I’m never gonna settle. I’m waiting for my perfect match.” This sentiment resonates with many individuals who seek healthier relationships after experiencing difficult breakups.

Anderson pointed out that Cavallari has a history of dating “really bad guys,” prompting him to inquire whether she ever felt like she couldn’t dominate a man. “I couldn’t dominate Jay,” Cavallari replied, reflecting on the dynamics of her previous relationship.

However, Anderson disagreed, asserting, “Yeah you could, you owned Jay.” This exchange highlights the complexities of power dynamics within relationships and how perceptions can differ.

“Yeah, but not in a way where I could do whatever the f–k I wanted,” Cavallari clarified. “It wasn’t like I could just run all over him.” This reflects the struggle many individuals face in balancing personal autonomy within a partnership.

Following her breakup with TikTok star Mark Estes in September 2024, Cavallari has been dating, but she’s raising her standards. Her children are playing an active role in this process by being brutally honest about who their mother should consider as a potential partner.

Sons Camden and Jaxon expressed their unfiltered opinions when Cavallari mentioned her plans to visit Scottsdale, Arizona, after the tour to see the mystery man she’d been dating. Their candidness provides an amusing glimpse into the dynamics of family life.

“What’s in Scottsdale?” Camden queried his mother. Cavallari playfully replied, “That guy,” teasing her children with her romantic escapades.

Confused, Camden pressed further, “Wait, what? The hockey guy?” revealing the innocent curiosity of children regarding their mother’s dating life.

“He’s a baseball player,” Cavallari corrected her son from the driver’s seat, as both boys sat in the back of the car, showcasing a typical family dynamic filled with light-hearted banter.

“He [is] what, mom? Like who is this kid? Is he like 27?” Camden joked, adding humor to the conversation about his mother’s romantic interests.

Cavallari quickly corrected him, revealing the man’s actual age: “He’s 30,” adding a playful twist to the discussion.

“Oh mom, too young then,” Jaxon chimed in, with Camden supporting his brother’s opinion, adding, “I dunno about it, mom. Dunno about it.” Their protective instincts as siblings shine through in their humorous exchanges.

While Cavallari did not divulge much more to her children, she did give her audience in Boston a cryptic insight into her love life, keeping the intrigue alive for her fans.

“I can’t tell you who the athletes are that I’m talking to at the moment,” she teased during the live show, “because there are two of them!” This playful revelation adds an element of mystery to her dating life.

While Cavallari has been enjoying the dating scene, she is ultimately searching for someone special who she can truly “trust,” indicating her desire for a meaningful connection.

“It’s gonna take someone really f–king special for me to want to continue to make them a priority and find time for someone,” she shared in a confessional. “I want someone who’s my rock, who I can really lean on and truly trust, because I’ve never experienced that in a relationship.” This heartfelt desire speaks to the importance of emotional support and stability in romantic partnerships.
