Kristin Cavallari Reveals Why She 'Walked Away' from Jay Cutler: 'My Heart Broke in My Marriage'

Kristin Cavallari is opening up about the end of her marriage to Jay Cutler.

On the Oct. 22 episode of Laguna Beach alum's podcast Let's Be Honest, she reflected on her love life — and her breakups, in particular — and her 2020 divorce from Cutler was one of the main touch points of the episode, which inadvertently aired days after Cutler was arrested in Tennessee.

Cavallari, 37, started the episode with a brief message about her ex's arrest — he was arrested on charges of DUI and illegal possession of a gun while intoxicated on Oct. 18 — as she clarified that she'd recorded it "before a very public incident happened last week with my ex-husband."

She said she "will not be commenting on what happened," but noted, "I do, of course, wish Jay nothing but the best and I do hope that he gets the help that he needs."

Later in the episode, Cavallari expanded on her split from the retired NFL player, 41, who she married in 2013 and shares three kids with.

"My heart broke in my marriage. Even though I'm the one that walked away, it was not what I wanted. It was not what I had envisioned," she said. "And I really tried f---ing everything I could. It's just heartbreaking when you want something so badly but you just can't get there. And I would say my heart was broken for years in my marriage — I mean it was."
