The Public Feud Over the Divorce Settlement: 'Borderline Slander'
One of the most surprising and recent developments in the Cavallari-Cutler saga is a public dispute over the financial details of their divorce, which was finalized in 2022. The controversy began when Kristin Cavallari suggested on her podcast that she received no financial settlement from Jay Cutler.
In a strongly worded response on his own Take It Outside podcast in August 2025, Jay Cutler vehemently refuted her claims. He stated that Kristin's assertion that she "didn't get a dime" was "reckless" and "borderline slander," making it clear that a substantial financial settlement was indeed part of their final agreement. This public back-and-forth highlights the deep-seated tension that still exists between the ex-couple, despite their attempts to maintain a civil front for their children.
The dispute centers on the division of marital assets accumulated during their seven-year marriage. While the exact details of the settlement remain private, Cutler's public statement confirms that the reality star did receive funds, directly contradicting her on-air comments.
Co-Parenting Challenges and the New Custody Agreement
Since their separation, the former couple has been vocal about the difficulties of co-parenting their three children. Kristin has frequently described the dynamic as "inconsistent" and "challenging" over the years.
However, a significant legal update occurred in late 2024 when Kristin shared news of a new custody agreement on her Let's Be Honest podcast. Under the new terms, Kristin Cavallari has retained primary physical custody of the children—Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor. This structural change was described by Cavallari as a positive step toward establishing a more stable and predictable routine for the children, moving away from the previous, more fluid arrangement.
This new agreement is a crucial entity in their current relationship, as it legally defines their interactions and responsibilities. The shift underscores the reality that while the romantic relationship is over, the co-parenting partnership—however difficult—is a permanent fixture in their lives.
Dramatically Different Dating Lives in 2025
The dating lives of Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler have taken markedly different, yet equally public, trajectories in 2025.
Jay Cutler: Engaged to Samantha Robertson
Jay Cutler has officially moved on and is now engaged. He went Instagram official with his partner, Samantha Robertson, in September 2023. Robertson, who is a mother herself, has been widely accepted as Cutler's new chapter, with the engagement marking a serious commitment two years after his divorce was finalized.
Robertson has been described as a successful businesswoman, and their relationship has been notably more private than Cutler’s marriage to Cavallari, which was heavily documented on reality television. This new relationship seems to signal a desire for a more low-key life away from the intense media scrutiny of his previous marriage.
Kristin Cavallari: The 'Dry Spell' and the Mystery Date
In contrast, Kristin Cavallari has been very candid about her struggles returning to the dating pool. In the first half of 2025, she openly discussed her "lack of" sex life, calling her dating dry spell "really sad." She has been on a journey of self-discovery and prioritizing her children and business, Uncommon James, over a serious relationship.
However, her dating life recently "picked back up." On her podcast, she teased details about a recent date with a new man, whom she described as a "big deal," though she refused to reveal his identity. She has also had to actively shut down rumors, denying that she is dating a specific "A-lister," clarifying recent headlines that have surfaced in the media. Cavallari maintains that she is enjoying the dating game but is not rushing into anything serious, a stark contrast to her ex-husband's new engagement.
The ongoing narrative of Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler remains one of two high-profile individuals navigating the complexities of modern co-parenting while each pursuing happiness on their own terms. From public financial disputes to new custody arrangements and divergent romantic paths, their story continues to captivate fans who followed their journey from the beaches of Laguna Beach to the fields of the NFL.
