Kristin Cavallari Gets Emotional Discussing Split with Mark Estes, Cites Age Difference

Kristin Cavallari opened up about her recent breakup with 24-year-old Mark Estes, citing their age difference as a key reason for the split. On Tuesday’s episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, the 37-year-old reality star got emotional while discussing why their seven-month relationship came to an end.

Kristin clarified that the breakup wasn’t due to any drama or bad behavior. She described Mark as sweet, supportive, and her best boyfriend ever. However, despite their healthy and mature relationship, she said his lack of life experience was a major factor. Kristin acknowledged that the 13-year age gap made a difference and that Mark needed time to find himself.

While holding back tears, Kristin praised Mark, calling him a “good guy” and expressing confidence that he would make someone very happy in the future and have a beautiful family of his own.

Kristin also confirmed that the relationship was never meant to be long-term, as previously reported. She added that she hopes to remain friends with Mark and keep him in her life in some way, though it remains to be seen how he feels about that.
