Why Kristin Cavallari Says Jay Cutler Divorce Was the "Best" Yet "Scariest Decision" She's Ever Made

Kristin Cavallari is living life with no regrets.

The Laguna Beach alum recently shared that although she is "sick" of talking about her divorce from Jay Cutler, the split served as a critical moment in her life.

"It was not a decision that I made overnight, obviously," Kristin shared in a July 20 interview with the She Pivots podcast. "I really sat on it for a long time. It was the scariest decision I've ever made, but it's been the best decision I've ever made for myself––and that's not to say that it hasn't been really hard the last few years."

Though Kristin—who shares sons Camden, 9, Jaxon, 8, and daughter Saylor, 6, with Jay—said that she is "really happy" with ending her marriage to the NFL star in April 2020, she still feels "sad" about her family breaking up.

"When you create a family with someone, it's sad to not have that anymore," the Uncommon James founder continued.

"I actually had this conversation with my kids two days ago. You know, it's okay to be sad, I get sad about it sometimes still. But I had to do what was best for me and for my kids, honestly. Because I want my kids to see me happy. And I think I'm a better mom now because I'm happier."

As Kristin put it, she is now in a "more peaceful place" in her life. And after learning how to take time to herself, she is now back in the dating game.

"Right after my divorce, I dated someone right away, and then I dated another person right away," the Hills alum shared. "And then I didn't date at all for about a year. I just recently started dating more in the last couple of months. But I took a lot of time and I really worked through everything."
