Kristin Cavallari has claimed that she has “never gotten a penny” from Jay Cutler following their divorce.
Kristin Cavallari has rubbished suggestions she gained financially from her divorce with Jay Cutler
The 38-year-old reality star’s divorce from the former NFL quarterback was finalised in 2022 – two years after they initially split – and she has rubbished suggestions that both she and her brand Uncommon James have benefitted financially from the separation.
Speaking in the latest episode of her series Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, Kristin said: “Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG – athletes’ wives and girlfriends, if you’re not familiar – people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband, and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James. But I am, to this day, 100 per cent owner, and I’ve never taken any outside funding.”
The Very Cavallari star added: “I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband. I didn’t get any money from our divorce, so let’s just clear that up.”
Kristin admits that she hated being defined as a WAG during her marriage to the former Chicago Bears player.
In conversation with Camille Kostek – who previously dated the retired New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski – she said: “In society, you have to have a man.
“Then in the WAG world, you have to have a man, but you’re only supposed to be arm candy and really, you have no identity. Football fans love to diminish me and who I am and (say) I was only famous because of Jay. I’m like, what? Okay. I was on TV.”
Cavallari continued: “Honestly, I’m just so sick of talking about my marriage.
“Men can be praised for staying single and busting their ass in their career. Women deserve the same thing. We should still be chasing our dreams, whether we’re with a man or not.”
Kristin has been romantically linked to several men following her divorce from Cutler but suggested that it would take someone “special” to convince her to start another serious romantic relationship.
She said: “It’s gonna take someone really f****** special for me to want to continue to make them a priority and make time for someone.
“I want someone who is my rock, who I can really lean on and really trust, because I’ve never experienced that in a relationship.”
