Kristin Cavallari Quotes on Jay Cutler Marriage, Divorce

Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari has been very vocal about her decision to divorce ex-husband Jay Cutler since their split in April 2020.

“With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce,” the Very Cavallari alum captioned a photo of the couple in her Instagram announcement. “We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”

The pair had been going through a rough patch for a while prior to their split as she confided in friends during an April 2019 episode of her E! reality show.

“Jay has been great, yes. From the outside, like, things are so perfect and things are so great,” she said at the time. “But actually, like, they’re not. And that sucks. It sucks. That’s the thing, though, with marriage — it’s ups and downs. Right now we’re in a low, but in two months we could be up here again. And that’s how we’ve always been, our whole relationship. It is what it is.”

“There’s no such thing as a perfect relationship,” the Uncommon James founder added. “Jay and I have problems — I’ve always been very vocal about that. We have to work at our relationship. … We definitely have issues.”

The former NFL quarterback proposed to the reality star in April 2011, just eight months after meeting through mutual friend Giuliana Rancic.

“Jay is a good Midwestern boy; he’s a gentleman,” she told Us Weekly ahead of their engagement. “He opens up car doors and he did the laundry today, which I thought is pretty cool, so he’s a good boy. We’re in love!”

Though the couple split just three months later, they ultimately rekindled their romance and tied the knot in June 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee. The exes share three children: son Camden Jack, born in August 2012, son Jaxon Wyatt, born in March 2014, and daughter Saylor James, born in November 2015.

“It didn’t happen overnight,” Kristin told People. “We tried really, really hard for years and years. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made.”

“I always thought it was interesting when people would refer to us as ‘couple goals.’ I was like, ‘If you guys only knew,’” she added.

September 2020

“I actually sort of look at it as though it was a good thing to go through this in the middle of quarantine because it really forced us to hibernate. You know, we couldn’t leave our houses,” the “Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen” podcast host said during an episode of E!’s Daily Pop.

“So, in that sense, it was actually nice because it was a lot of time where I was able to reflect and focus on myself and not have to do interviews or see people,” she added. “So, I was actually really thankful that we went through it at the time that we did.”

October 2020

“Technically, I’m still Cutler. Working on that. I’m literally going to take a note right now to change it,” Kristin told Ryan Seacrest during a video interview with On Air with Ryan Seacrest after he pointed out her Zoom name.

“You’re the first person that’s said that! Thank you for pointing that out!” she added. “Appreciate it.”

“It was not a decision that I made overnight, obviously,” Kristin said on the “She Pivots” podcast, noting she was “sick” of talking about her divorce. “I really sat on it for a long time.”

“It was the scariest decision I’ve ever made, but it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself,” she added. “And that’s not to say that it hasn’t been really hard the last few years.”

August 2022

“I called off the engagement the same reason I got a divorce — same reasons, I should say,” Kristin said during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I guess if there’s any takeaway from that, it’s that you can’t ignore red flags, people don’t change, and you gotta trust your gut.”

“Because I have three kids with him, I’m very careful about what I say,” she added. “If you and I didn’t have microphones in front of us, I’d f–king tell you, but that’s their dad and my oldest googles us now and I just want to be very careful. … It was toxic. Period, end of story. That’s all I kinda need to say.”

“I hope that he finds someone, I really do,” Kristin said of her ex. “I want him happy. My kids benefit from that, you know. So I hope that he gets remarried.”
