Kristin Cavallari, 37, has sparked controversy with her new relationship with 24-year-old Mark Estes, a 13-year age gap that has led to widespread scrutiny and judgment.
The Uncommon James founder made their relationship Instagram official earlier this week with a selfie of the pair under a beach cabana. She captioned the post, “He makes me happy” with a red heart emoji. Cavallari’s dating history, well-documented on the MTV reality shows “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills,” has made her a familiar face in celebrity news.
The public reaction to Kristin Cavallari’s new romance was immediate, with some social media users making pointed comments about the significant age difference. “Homeboy was 6 when ‘The Hills’ aired on MTV,” one Instagram user wrote, while another commented, “Your kids need a stepdad, not a big brother.” In response to the criticism, Cavallari posted a TikTok video on Friday defending her relationship choices.
Kristin Cavallari’s Response
In the video, she mouthed along to a sound that said, “So what are you gonna do about it?” with the caption, “When they’re all up in arms that I’m dating a 24-year-old. Andddd?” Her TikTok followers showed support and happiness for her in the comments section.
This relationship has drawn comparisons to the past relationship between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles, which ended recently. Their 10-year age gap also caused a stir in the media. Experts note that much of the reaction to these relationships is influenced by societal norms and expectations, particularly regarding age and gender roles.
Kristin Cavallari’s relationship with Estes is a reminder that age differences in relationships continue to be a topic of fascination and debate. As attitudes toward age gaps evolve, it’s clear that love knows no bounds when it comes to age.
