Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari and TikTok personality Mark Estes have officially ended their relationship after dating for less than a year. News of their breakup has surfaced across multiple media outlets, with Kristin confirming the split during a live recording of the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast in Austin, Texas.
Kristin and Mark first made their relationship public in February 2024. Kristin, who gained fame from the reality show The Hills, shared a selfie of the two on Instagram with the caption, “He makes me happy.” This marked the beginning of their relationship in the public eye. Just a month later, in March, Kristin shared more details about how they met on her own podcast.
She revealed that she first came across Mark on TikTok in September 2023. Mark, 24 years old, was part of a group called the “Montana Boys” on TikTok, which immediately caught Kristin’s attention. She described her initial reaction as being impressed by their looks, particularly Mark’s.
Kristin said she sent a video of Mark and his friends to one of her own friends, commenting on how attractive they were. She was especially drawn to Mark, who stood out from the rest of the group. However, when she met him in person, she was pleasantly surprised to find that he wasn’t just about looks—he was also kind and sweet.
She fondly recalled the first thing Mark said to her when they met: “You’re like really pretty.” Kristin found his words endearing and saw Mark as a genuine person. Despite the 13-year age difference between Kristin and Mark, they appeared to be unfazed by the public criticism they received about their relationship.
