Kristin Cavallari reveals which ex was best in bed and takes dig at Jay Cutler over money
Kristin Cavallari confessed which of her exes she'd rather spend the rest of her life with, because of 'great sex' on E! 's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. The 38-year-old reality star has said in the past that action star Jason Statham was her 'hottest hookup,' with a string of famous boyfriends like Matt Leinart, Nick Zano, Morgan Wallen and of course her marriage to NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. She also admitted on a recent episode that she 'dry humped' actor Glen Powell though she refused to divulge any other details. This week's episode of Honestly Cavallari took her four-city tour to Boston, where she spoke for fans at The Wilbur. She also welcomed surprise guest Camille Kostek, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and the longtime girlfriend of NFL great Rob Gronkowski. Towards the end of the Boston show, Cavallari opened it up to fan questions, where she revealed a rather shocking sex confession, and debunked rumors her ex Jay Cutler funded her Uncommon James brand. She was asked by a fan, 'If you had to spend the rest of your life with one of your exes, who would it be?' The question stunned the rest of the audience, and Cavallari herself, though she revealed it would be her latest ex - 24-year-old Mark Estes, who she dated for seven months before they split in September 2024. 'I would settle with Mark, because I can have really good sex for the rest of my life and be happy,' she said. While Estes didn't appear on the tour, he did appear on a November 2024 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, where he admitted she gave him the 'best sex' he's ever had. She added, 'I actually didn't know that. You've never said that to me. We've talked about how great our sex is.' The reality star added, 'I think sex for women just gets better as you get older. Women, when you're in your early 20s, you're insecure in a lot of ways.' 'You're worried about your body or what you look like, where I've let all of that go, and I think I'm more present physically during sex than I've ever been,' she said. She also clarified rumors that her ex-husband Jay Cutler financed her Uncommon James retail brand, insisting she never got anything from him in the divorce. While Estes (above right) didn't appear on the tour, he did appear on a November 2024 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, where he admitted she gave him the 'best sex' he's ever had. 'Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG, athletes' wives and girlfriends, if you're not familiar, people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James,' she began. 'But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I've never taken any outside funding,' she clarified, adding, 'I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband. I didn't get any money from our divorce. So, let's just clear that up.' She also hinted that she was potentially dating two different athletes, one of whom has since been confirmed as former NHL player Nate Thompson, though the other is a baseball player. She revealed during a conversation with sons Camden, 12, and Jaxson, 10, that she might go to Scottsdale, Arizona after her tour, to see, 'That guy.' Camden asks, 'The hockey guy?' She says, 'No, he's a baseball player,' clarifying he's 30 years of age. The podcast tour wrapped on March 13 in New York City, which meant she might have gone to visit the mystery man during MLB spring training. Scottsdale, Arizona is the spring training home to three teams in the Cactus League - the San Francisco Giants, the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

PARAISO Miami Swim Week Debuts Inaugural Event Honoring Industry Icons
Miami Swim Week Courtesy of PARAISO Miami Swim Week For its 21st edition happening later this week from May 29th through June 1st, PARAISO Miami Swim Week is launching its first-ever, inaugural Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame (SIHOF) to celebrate designers, trailblazers, and tastemakers who have helped shape the industry as we know it. As the official opener for the week, this red-carpet event will take place on May 28th at The Bass Museum and hosted by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star, Camille Kostek. Special honors will be awarded to the formidable female forces in swimwear including MJ Day, who will receive the Media Icon award, Natasha and Devin from Monday Swim will receive the New Media Icon Honor, Jamie Nelson, who will receive Photographer Icon Honor for her work, and Amahlia Steven from Vitamin A, who will receive Design + Sustainability Icon Honor. 'As someone who has spent over a decade immersed in this space, I felt there was a lack of recognition for the people whose creativity, innovation, and influence helped turn swim into a global cultural force. SIHOF is here to change that by celebrating the legacy-makers, spotlighting today's trailblazers, and preserving swimwear history in a meaningful, modern way,' Natalija Dedic Stojanovic, Founder of Paraiso Miami Swim Week tells me over email. Brand Azulu's 2024 Runway Show Courtesy of PARAISO Miami Swim Week 2024 Azulu Runway Show at PARAISO Miami Swim Week Courtesy of PARAISO Miami Swim Week When you think about how many people and industries are involved in creating any product by the time the customer sees the final result—it's an expansive list, and swimwear is no different. 'Swimwear touches so many industries such as fashion, beauty, media, photography, digital innovation, and we wanted the inaugural class to reflect that intersectionality. We selected honorees who are true icons in their field, people whose work hasn't just impacted swimwear but helped move the entire culture forward,' continues Dedic Stojanovic. Dedic Stojanovic explains to me that this inaugural evening is just the beginning. 'Our vision is to build SIHOF into a lasting platform - an annual honors night, a permanent museum space, and an ongoing cultural archive that documents and celebrates swimwear's evolution and a destination for both industry insiders and fans to connect with the stories, moments, and people that define swim culture.' 'It's incredibly humbling to be recognized with this award. It's so much bigger than me. There are so many women, designers, editors, buyers and brands who have come together over the years to work to make tangible change,' Sports Illustrated Deputy Editor, MJ Day tells me over email about her thoughts on being honored. 'I acted on what I believed to be my responsibility as the leader of this brand to do something about the dangerous and narrowly focused beauty ideals that were being perpetuated. It turns out there are many who feel the same way I do and took a step forward to prove that progress was possible and necessary. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think what we do is inconsequential. Being on the receiving end of this recognition proves very much otherwise.' Day firmly believes that swimwear should be a source of power rather than vulnerability. 'The industry is evolving into being not just about what you wear—but how you feel in what you are wearing. Whether it's a bikini or a burka, the freedom to show up as yourself is everything,' she continues. 'I'm proud the industry is embracing inclusivity, but we need to keep pushing—more sizes, better fits, smarter fabrics. Give women reasons to feel incredible. I have seen such innovation in our industry. I would love to see more.' When I ask Day what the future of swimwear is she assures me that Sport Illustrated will be on the frontlines playing a pivotal role in expanding the definition of beauty. 'Now more than ever, it's essential to liberate the way the world sees women—not just how we look, but who we are and what we stand for.' She goes on to explain that at this moment the real issue is complacency. 'Brands must resist the urge to treat inclusivity as a box to check. Impact comes from intentionality—partnering with women who have a voice and the courage to use it. When we platform those voices, we don't just give purpose to the brand—we give purpose to people. And that ripple effect has the power to change culture.' Storytelling wouldn't be possible without imagery. Jamie Nelson, who will receive Photographer Icon Honor for her work that showcases swimwear as art tells me. 'I am truly honored to be included in the very first SIHOF among such powerhouses in the swimwear industry such as MJ Day of Sports Illustrated. I am passionate about making my people feel beautiful in their own skin. Swimwear and photography are the perfect mediums to bring my vision to life.' Shot by Nelson for Vogue Portugal Jamie Nelson Shot by Nelson for Vogue Portugal Jamie Nelson Now, with two decades under its belt, PARAISO has not been a catalyst for swim and resortwear platform for brands, but it has also brought economic benefit to the region. Business Journals estimated that last years event had an economic impact of between $50-$70 million through attendees patronizing local hotels, restaurants, and clubs. 'The positive activation that Miami Beach garners from SwimWeek brings our residents and businesses world class programming in our own backyard, while the growing partnership with PARAISO helps to support our economic development, which we all enjoy. Miami Beach has been the epicenter of some of the best events in the world, including the World Cup, Art Basel and F1. SwimWeek is at the top of the list for events that residents and visitors most enjoy,' City of Miami Beach Commissioner, Joe Magazine tells me in an email. 'For over 25 years, Luli Fama has not only participated in the trade shows held on Miami Beach for what has become widely known as Miami Swim Week, but we have also held our annual fashion show together with PARAISO Miami Swim Week, on the Saturday night of the week for nearly two decades,' Gregorio Hanimian, CEO of Luli Fama shares with me over email. 'As a Miami-an, I can tell you that the energy at a Luli Fama show is palpable and is always one of my favorites to watch. Hanimian continues, 'Our show has become synonymous with our brand; from the entertainment, the collection, the models—all are factors in bringing the show to life.' 2024 Luli Fama Runway Show at PARAISO Miami Swim Week RSC Media Grouq 2024 SIGAL Runway Show at PARAISO Miami Swim Week Courtesy of SIGAL 2024 Shan Runway Show at PARAISO Miami Swim Week Courtesy of Shan Sigal Cohen, founder of SIGAL, another locally based brand who will be showing for the third time this year shares that PARAISO has been a launchpad for her brand. 'As a proud Miami-based brand, being part of PARAISO not only gave us access to a global audience but also deepened our roots within the Miami fashion community. It legitimized our brand, amplified our storytelling, and directly connected us to key wholesale buyers, many of whom have remained loyal stockists ever since.' Both the tradeshow, SwimShow and PARAISO have been instrumental for Canadian-based men's and women's resort and swimwear brand, SHAN, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. 'Being part of Swim Week has been a game changer,' the brand's Creative Director, Nathan Gilbert tells me in an email. 'The tradeshow allowed us to expand our network in the U.S. but also, in North America in general. With PARAISO, Swim Week became much more influential as more and more buyers from across the globe started to attend. It's definitely helped our brand grow its sales but also helped with brand recognition. This year will mark Shan's 3rd year of producing their own runway show with PARAISO. As both a Miami-an and a lover of swim and resortwear, it is amazing to see what PARAISO has accomplished through the years. This new event honoring those blazing trails in the industry adds another exciting element to the event.

Livvy Dunne joined by fellow Sports Illustrated swimsuit models on the field for glamorous first pitch at Mets game
Livvy Dunne has gotten used to seeing the inside of a ballpark by now. The glamorous girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes has been to many a game at PNC Park to watch her flamethrowing boyfriend strike out many a batter. This time, it was Dunne's turn to throw a pitch when she was invited out to Citi Field - home of the New York Mets. Dunne made her return to the stadium on Monday night before the Mets took on the Pirates on a night where Skenes took the mound for Pittsburgh. But she wasn't alone. Joining her were three fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models and influencers: Camille Kostek, Alexandra 'Xandra' Pohl, and Ellie Thumann. Kostek, Pohl, and Thumann were all seen sporting Mets jerseys with their names on the back of them. Sports Illustrated models Camille Kostek, Ellie Thumann, Xandra & Livvy Dunne are on hand at Citi Field — SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) May 12, 2025 Dunne, out of respect to the ballclub and her boyfriend, wore a simple white top and ballcap. While the other three took pictures with the likes of Mark Vientos, Tyrone Taylor, and Huascar Brazoban, Dunne wasn't seen in those snaps. However, she did join her three fellow models for a selfie on the field in Queens. Later in the night, Dunne was seen filming a video from what appeared to be a suite on a gorgeous May night in New York City. Dunne made her debut in the 2023 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and her companions for the evening are also veterans of the legendary magazine. Kostek has been a staple of the SI Swimsuit catalog since 2017, when she walked the runway at the magazine's fashion show in Miami. Two years later, in 2019, Kostek was featured on the cover. Like Dunne, she's used to attending sporting events as well - having dated former NFL star Rob Gronkowski for over a decade. Meanwhile, both Pohl and Thumann initially made their livings outside of the modeling world. Pohl is a world-renowned DJ while Thumann spent her childhood amassing millions of social media followers who watch her videos across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Kostek has been in the SI Swimsuit issue since 2017 and made the cover in 2019 Meanwhile Pohl (L) and Thumann (R) made their fame through other avenues before modeling As for the game itself, it was an unfortunate night for Skenes - who did well but had his team come up short. Skenes gave up only a single earned run across six innings while striking out six batters and was in line for a win. However, Pittsburgh's relievers gave up two runs to end those hopes in the seventh inning. From there, it was a tale of two errors. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor gave up an error in the top of the ninth to allow Ji-Hwan Bae to reach second. Bae eventually made it home on an infield single by Kebryan Hayes to tie the game at 3-3. Then, it was Pirates shortstop Isaiah Kiner-Falefa's turn to make a mistake. His fielding error allowed Lindor to reach first safely. A single by Juan Soto allowed Lindor to reach third base. The game ended when Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit a sacrifice fly to score Lindor - winning the game for New York by a score of 4-3. Brazoban was credited with the win while David Bednar was charged with the loss.

Livvy Dunne cheers on fellow Sports Illustrated models' first pitch before boyfriend Paul Skenes pitches
The stars were out at Citi Field on Monday as the best young pitcher in the game took the bump. Paul Skenes started on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the first-place New York Mets. And yes, girlfriend Livvy Dunne, who grew up less than 30 miles from the Mets' ballpark, was in attendance. Dunne's gymnastics career just ended, so she's finally getting a chance to see Skenes' sophomore season. Dunne has also been a Sports Illustrated model in each of the last two years, and she decided to bring along some friends. Camille Kostek (Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend), Ellie Thumann and Xandra Pohl each threw out the first pitch on Monday to Mark Vientos, Tyrone Taylor and Huascar Brazoban, doing their best impression of Skenes himself. The models even took a selfie ahead of time. Dunne was gifted a Mets jersey from the team, which she wore, despite her boyfriend pitching against them. Skenes finished in third place in the National League Cy Young Award vote last year and was named the NL Rookie of the Year. He became the first rookie to start an All-Star Game since Hideo Nomo in 1995. He pitched to a 1.96 ERA and struck out 11.5 batters per nine innings. Skenes has not been as sharp as last year in his sophomore season, although his 2.77 ERA entering Monday is hardly anything to complain about. Monday marks Skenes' first start since manager Derek Shelton was fired after Pittsburgh started 12-26. It was a move Skenes admitted he was not surprised by. "We're 12-26. Someone's gotta be held accountable," he told reporters Friday. "Unfortunately, right now, it's him." But Skenes said a managerial change won't do much because it's ultimately up to the players. "Just how it goes. I don't know if it fixes the root of the issue. We just need to play better," he added. Meanwhile, the Mets are tied for the second-best record in the sport at 26-15, tied with the Detroit Tigers and trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the Mets in the National League Championship Series last season.
