Cavallari emphasized that she’s a mom “first and foremost” to herthree children. She and Cutler, 40, share sonsCamden, 10, Jaxon, 8, and daughter Saylor, 7.
“I’ve had a lot of fun in the last few years, just really focusing on my friends and getting to hang out with my friends again, because I didn’t get to do that for a long time,” she explained. “Really, when you’re having little babies and three babies, essentially, at one point in time, that was my world. And so it’s been nice to just have fun again."
While dating isn’t a big priority for her right now, it’s alsonot totally out of the question. TheLaguna Beachalum shared that she would prefer to meet someone in real life instead of through the dating apps or online — which shepreviously revealed she was doing.
“Anyone can be great on paper, and you gotta have that chemistry,” she explained. “I want to meet someone organically.”
Cavallari announced herdivorce from Cutlerin 2020 after seven years of marriage and 10 years of being together. “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,” she wrote in anInstagram postat the time. “This is just the situation of two people growing apart.”

In an August 2022 episode of theCall Her Daddypodcast, she revealed that, looking back, the relationship was “toxic.” However, she said she genuinely hopes her ex“finds someone”and gets remarried.
“I think with any relationship, you just have to realize what are deal-breakers for you, what’s important to you and what’s not," she reflected. “I was really unhappy and that was the bottom line, and I was in an unhealthy relationship. And so that, to me, is not worth it.”
“Also, I didn’t want my kids thinking that that was normal,” she continued. “I wanted them to see me happy and see me eventually — not right now — but eventually, see me with someone who really respects me and treats me the way I need to be treated.”
