Kristin Cavallari Claims Jay Cutler Is Guilty of “Marital Misconduct” in Divorce Documents

From Cosmopolitan

  • Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler filed for divorce after 10 years together.

  • In the court docs, Kristin claims Jay is guilty of “marital misconduct.”


It’s the end of an era: Kristin Cavallari and her former-NFL-player husband, Jay Cutler, have decided to end their marriage after 10 whole years together (which is, like, a lifetime in celebrity land).

Initial reports say Kristin and Jay’s split has nothing to do with infidelity (which is good to know, considering those awk rumors that Jay was cheating on Kristin with her best friend Kelly Henderson), and the court documents give more intel.

In the divorce documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Kristin cited “marital misconduct” and “irreconcilable differences” as the reasons for her and Jay’s separation. Kristin alleged that Jay “is guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper,” adding that “any misconduct alleged or implied against her in the complaint for divorce was in response to and/or as a result of misconduct on behalf of the Husband.”

Mind you, Kristin filed these documents on April 7. Jay later filed his documents on April 21, citing “irreconcilable differences” as well but not alleging any misconduct against Kristin. So, uh, take that for what you will.

The documents also revealed what Kristin is asking for in the divorce. She wants primary custody of their three children—Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor—and wants Jay to pay child support. Jay contested this in his documents because he wants joint custody and said he’s always been “the available at-home parent and primary caretaker of the parties’ minor children.” Kristin denied Jay’s claim, writing that she’s been “the primary residential parent” and is “a fit and proper person to be named Primary Residential Parent.”

IDK about you, but I’m sincerely hoping this divorce doesn’t get any messier. I’m still heartbroken over Kristin’s Instagram divorce announcement. She wrote:

“With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”

Here’s to hoping they figure it out.
