“He makes me happy 🤍,” Cavallari shared via Instagram on Tuesday, February 27, debuting their relationship. In the selfie, seemingly taken on vacation, Cavallari leaned into Estes. He shared the post via his Instagram Story with two red heart emojis.
The Hills alum and Estes sparked dating speculation days before going public when they were photographed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, according to a photo obtained by TMZ on Friday, February 23. (Estes is 13 years Cavallari’s junior.)
Cavallari also shared Instagram photos from her Mexico trip teasing the summer line of her Uncommon James jewelry brand. TMZ reported on Tuesday that Estes was there for the entire trip, noting that the two have reportedly been dating for a month.
Cavallari was previously married to former NFL star Jay Cutler for seven years before their 2020 split. She and Cutler share three kids: sons Camden, 11, and Jaxon, 9, and daughter Saylor, 8. Following their divorce, which was finalized in 2022, Cavallari has been romantically linked to Bachelorette’s Tyler Cameron, comedian Jeff Dye and country singer Chase Rice. (Cutler has since moved on with Samantha Roberston.)
“I’m dating. I’ve gone through phases of going on a million first dates, and I’ve gone through phases where I’m not dating at all,” Cavallari told Us Weekly exclusively in her September 2023 cover story. “At the moment, it’s not my priority, but I’m open to it.”
