Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager recently discussed Kristin Cavallari's new relationship with Mark Estes, who is 13 years her junior, on the 'Today With Hoda and Jenna' show. The hosts applauded Cavallari for defending her relationship and criticized the double standards often seen in such situations.
Cavallari, 37, faced backlash for dating Estes, 24, but she responded by sharing a TikTok video questioning the criticism. She made it clear that she is unbothered by the opinions of others and is happy with her new partner.
The couple made their relationship public by posting photos and videos from their vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico. While they are not officially a couple yet, sources close to Estes revealed that they have been talking for weeks and enjoy each other's company.
Despite the age gap between Cavallari and Estes, the couple remains unfazed by the negative comments from fans on social media. They believe that as consenting adults, their relationship is their own business and are not paying attention to the criticism.
Cavallari was previously married to Jay Cutler from 2013 to 2020, with whom she shares three children. The divorce was finalized in 2022, and Cavallari has now moved on to a new chapter in her personal life with Estes.
