The bitter divorce between former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler and reality TV star Kristin Cavallari has taken a dramatic new turn, with Cutler publicly blasting his ex-wife's new relationship.
Cutler, 40, broke his silence in a scathing response to Cavallari's recent romantic involvement with 24-year-old finance marketer Mark Estes, suggesting the relationship is a calculated move amid their ongoing legal battles.
'Bitter Divorce' Claims Surface
In court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Cutler's legal team didn't hold back, directly linking Cavallari's new romance to the acrimonious nature of their separation. The filing starkly describes the situation as playing out "in the context of a bitter divorce," implying the timing is more than coincidental.
The former couple, who finalised their divorce in 2022 after seven years of marriage, continue to battle over financial matters and custody arrangements for their three children.
A New Romance Sparks Controversy
Cavallari, 37, first went public with Estes in February 2024, with the pair making their red carpet debut just weeks later. The significant age gap—13 years—and swift progression of the relationship have become focal points of public scrutiny.
The Hills alum has been openly defiant about the criticism, recently telling E! News: "I'm having fun. I'm happy. That's all that matters." However, Cutler's latest legal salvo suggests he sees a more strategic motive behind the very public new relationship.
A History of Public Scrutiny
This isn't the first time the ex-couple's private life has played out in public. Their relationship, which began in 2010, was chronicled in Cavallari's reality show Very Cavallari, giving fans an intimate—and often turbulent—look into their marriage before its eventual collapse.
Cutler's decision to address the new relationship through legal channels marks a significant escalation in their post-marriage conflicts, moving private disagreements firmly into the public legal arena.
As the divorce proceedings continue in Nashville, Tennessee, this latest development ensures the former couple's split remains firmly in the spotlight, with legal and personal dramas becoming increasingly intertwined.
