Kristin Cavallari Reveals Why She Broke Up with Mark Estes
Kristin Cavallari, 37, is getting candid about her split with Mark Estes, 24, after seven months of dating.
She revealed on her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, "Mark and I broke up. It's hard because I broke up with Mark because I just know long-term it's not right, and it's not because of love lost or something bad happened."
Kristin explained there was no cheating, and that the Montana Boyz TikToker was “nothing but so sweet and so supportive.”
She confessed, "He's been the best boyfriend I've ever had. I just know long-term he needs to experience life, he's young... I started to feel the age a little bit with life experience. I look back when I was 24 and how much life has happened between then. Those are crucial years, those are formative years, they're when you find yourself, and he needs to be able to do that."
