Kristin Cavallari Gets Candid on Why Co-Parenting with Ex Jay Cutler Is ‘Really Hard’: ‘It’s a Bumpy Road’

Kristin Cavallari is getting real about co-parenting with her ex-husband Jay Cutler.

The Hills alum, 37, appeared on the latest installment of Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast and opened up about her co-parenting experience with the retired NFL star, 41. The ex-spouses share sons Camden Jack, 12, Jaxon Wyatt, 10, and daughter Saylor James, 9.

“It’s been so up and down,” Cavallari said of co-parenting with Cutler, adding that there is “zero f—— consistency, which is really hard.”

While she confessed, “It has not been easy, to say the least,” she recalled sitting next to him at a basketball game this year, calling it, “the best thing ever.”

“We made it!” she added, before joking, “And we haven’t sat together since. It’s a bumpy road.”

She told Jelly Roll’s wife that she and Cutler, who split in 2020 after 10 years together, “probably” won’t spend Christmas in the same space anytime soon.

Admitting that it’s a “bummer” considering they have children together, the podcast host said it will “make” their kids “stronger.”

Cavallari shared on her Let’s Be Honest podcast in October that her custody agreement with Cutler had changed.

She also addressed her breakup from ex-boyfriend Mark Estes and explained why she isn’t jumping back into dating just yet.

“I have no interest in getting back into the dating world right now. I also don’t know how much time I have for dating,” Cavallari said at the time. “When I was dating last fall, I was still doing split custody with my ex and I had every other week off from my kids and that’s changed.”

“So I’m really happy and really content having my life right now being about my kids and my work,” Cavallari continued. “Happiness for me is peace and peace for me is making this home exactly how I want it.”

“I’m a homebody. I really am. Being home and cooking and having friends over, those things make me happy. Beyond that, I don’t really have a lot of time for anything else.”
