‘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.

‘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 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 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.’
