Weeks later, she received a DM from the group on Instagram which simply said, ‘I love you.’

‘He came, he brought me flowers, picked me up, we went to dinner, it was very sweet,’ the beauty gushed, adding that they ‘made out’ at the end of the date. 

‘I felt like I was in high school,’ Kristin said during the episode. At one point she also added, ‘That attraction was always there.’

‘But when I met him, I was like, he’s actually a really nice, good guy. He’s very sweet from the jump. He was so sweet to me.’ 

Her decision to ‘hard launch’ her relationship with Estes took place over the trip to Mexico. 

The Uncommon James founder explained that photos of the pair at the airport were going to be run, so she chose to also uploaded the Instagram photo of the two. 

‘It was a little early to hard launch someone, 100 percent. However, [as] we’ve been talking about, I feel very different with this man.’ 

‘I was just like, you know what? I’ve been in this business for 20 years. The media has always like controlled the narrative to a large degree. And part of me was like, I wanna take it in my own hands,’ Cavallari added.

She stated, ‘It was a little early to hard launch someone, 100 percent. However, [as] we’ve been talking about, I feel very different with this man’

She also commented on their 13-year age gap and expressed, ‘Me dating a 24-year-old is not something that I was searching out. It’s not something that I at all ever thought would ever happen.’ 

‘I understand what it looks like to the outside world. I really do. I get that. He is not a typical 24-year-old.’ 

Their romance continues to blossom with Kristin sharing a series of photos on Instagram earlier this month wearing a gold-chained necklace with the letter ‘M’ on the front. 

She also hit back at trolls who were critical of her dating Estes in a TikTok with the caption, ‘When they’re all up in arms that im dating a 24-year-old. Andddd?’

‘I really think everything I’ve gone through has made me who I am,’ she said, per Us Weekly. ‘And I mean, getting married, obviously it got me my three kids, but it got me to Franklin, Tennessee.’ 

It ultimately led me to launch Uncommon James because I was living in Chicago and really needed something to do. And I’m so thankful for that. That’s what I’m the most proud of professionally.’ 

The star later added, ‘I’m thankful for it all because I find that in the most challenging times, that’s where the most growth is.’

‘So no, I really don’t regret anything in my life. Are there moments I’m maybe not proud of? Sure, but I don’t regret anything. I really don’t.’
