Kristin Cavallari has a new love in her life!
The Laguna Beach alum, 37, revealed her new relationship with Mark Estes on Instagram on Tuesday with a photo of the two smiling in Los Cabos, Mexico.
“He makes me happy 🤍,” she captioned the snap, which Estes, 24, later shared on his Instagram Story with two hearts.
Estes appears to be based in Nashville, according to his Instagram bio, where Cavallari currently lives and presumably where the two met. He is also a former football player for Montana State University and Montana Tech.
In November 2023, he celebrated playing his final college football game after six years, which included one redshirt season.
“What a ride. Grateful for the last 6 years of what this sport has brought me. Thanks to all the coaches and brothers I’ve met along the way ❤️,” he captioned a photo of himself on the field.

Cavallari’s new romance comes after she opened up Hey! News about how he approaches dating — if he does at all.
“I’m not overwhelmed because there’s not much going on,” she said of her life in June. “It really doesn’t matter to me right now. It’s just not about where I’m at in life.”
The reality star emphasized that she is a mom “first and foremost” to her three children, sons Camden (11), Jaxon (9) and daughter Saylor (8), whom she shares with ex-husband Jay Cutler.
“I’ve been having a lot of fun the last few years, just really focusing on my friends and hanging out with my friends again, because I haven’t been able to do that for a long time,” she continued. “Really, when you have little babies and three babies, basically, at one point, that was my world. And so it was nice to just have fun again.”
As for what she’d want in a partner, Cavallari — who previously said she’s used social media so far — said, “I want to meet someone organically.”

Her new relationship also comes after Cutler, 40, officially posted an Instagram with his new girlfriend.
In September, the former NFL player — who split from Cavallari in 2020 — posed with Samantha Robertson in front of a Montana sunset in a photo posted by his new girlfriend.
“Sunsets in Montana never disappoint 🫶,” Roberston, 33, captioned the photo, tagging Cutler in the post. “When are we coming back?” he wrote in a comment.
While neither has publicly commented to confirm their relationship, days earlier Robertson also shared a series of photos of her and Cutler together on a trip to Paris.

The former Chicago Bears quarterback was married to Cavallari from 2013 to 2020 and they were together for 10 years before their divorce, which they announced with “great sadness” on Instagram in April 2020.
“After 10 years together, we have come to the loving conclusion to divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for each other and are deeply grateful for the years together, the memories created and the children we are so proud of,” she wrote in the caption. “This is just a situation of two people breaking up. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we go through this difficult time within our family.”
