Kristin Cavallari feels like a 'new person' after divorce and cutting ties with her dad
Kristin Cavallari feels like a new person after going through a divorce and cutting ties with her dad. The 38-year-old TV personality finalised her divorce from the former NFL Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in 2022 after nearly seven years of marriage because she "didn't want to be in a toxic relationship anymore". And Kristin decided to cut ties with her real estate dad Dennis in 2021 because he "crossed the boundary" with her three children - sons Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 11, as well as her daughter Saylor, nine - whom she had with Jay and has custody of. She told the US magazine People: "My divorce and my dad really forced me to take a hard look in the mirror and do the work. "I had to get very real with myself about the lack of self-love that I had, and then I had to build myself up again. "I finally, for the first time in my life, do love myself." The reality TV star - who shot to fame on MTV's 'Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County' when she was 17 - declared that ejecting her dad out of her life was the "best decision" she has "ever made". Kristin - who declined to go into detail about how Dennis went too far - admitted: "This might sound messed up to some people, but cutting my dad out is the best decision I've ever made. "Life's too short." The fashion designer has spoken "probably too much so" of her relationships, including the 13-year age gap with Montana Boyz TikToker Mark Estes, who she dated for seven months in 2024. Also, she described the country singer Morgan Wallen, as "good in bed" when they struck up a romance - which Kristin has never publicly revealed when they dated amid rumours of a relationship in 2023. The former 'Hills' MTV reality show cast member broke her promise that she would "never go back to reality TV" after she allowed the entertainment news brand E! to film some shows from her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast tour, which took place in March 2025, for a new programme. And Kristin hopes the new show will shut down some misconceptions about her. She said: "Headlines love to put me in this box that has to do with men and sex. And I get [the interest], but I'm a real person. It affects me. I think people's idea of me is very different from who I actually am ... "I'm really happy that I did [the show] because it was my favourite experience on a show, and truly the only show that I've done where I can say it was 100 per cent authentic."

Old Otliensians add to Twickenham glory with another trophy
Still on cloud nine from the joys of Twickenham only a week ago, Otliensians thrilled supporters when they dominated Wheatley Hills last Saturday to lift the Yorkshire Silver Trophy. Back-to-back promotions, league champions, Twickenham champions and now Yorkshire Silver Trophy winners. Confident from a recent win, Hills started the match with an unsustainable fervour but their eagerness soon resulted in several mistakes and penalties. With a penalty just inside the oppositions 22 Ensians first attack started. Initially trying to bash their way through to no avail, Hills' big forwards tackled well. The only option was to spin the ball out wide and on the 4th phase Rob Lofthouse passed down the line to Jake Bentley. As was often the case Hills' back line was too flat, almost offside and Bentley easily found a gap. With just the full back in his way, he bulldozed his way over the line to score. Converting his own try from far out right, securing the lead. From the restart Hills asserted some good pressure. Their big inside centre taking play deep into Ensians half. Luckily his pass didn't find the winger and returned possession to the blues. The ball found young winger Isaac Gillson, standing in at outside centre this week in the absence of Will Cooper. Isaac skirted down the left-wing taking play up to the half way line, releasing the pressure for now. Hills soon regained the lost ground, and their nimble scrum half sneaked into score. The converted try levelled the scores at 7 apiece. From the kick, Hills' second row gathered cleanly and with ideas no-doubt 'above his station' he sent a long kick downfield straight to danger-man Luke Cowdell. 'Cowy' took play back up to the 10m line, before Alex Gillson continued the charge. Tackled on the halfway line, the ball was quickly recycled with a long pass out to Bentley. Taking the pass on his boot laces, he did well to maintain his balance before passing on to Isaac Gillson in support. Still inside his own half, Isaac dummied right sending the defenders wide. He then stepped left into space and set off straight towards the line. With the full back and winger to beat, he cruised out wide into the corner to score. Seemingly unable to put a foot wrong Bentley's uncomfortable looking conversion crept over the bar to increase the lead to 14-7. Still firing on all cylinders, Hills came straight back with a converted try to level the score at 14-all. With their spirits lifted from the score, Hills sensibly kept possession this time and inched their way up field, but soon lost the ball in the tackle near the halfway line. Cowdell passed out to Lofthouse on the left and then the ball found Will Howarth on the wing. This season Howarth has perfected his signature 'show-and-go' move; presenting the ball to his opponent like a waiter with a bottle of wine, before quickly withdrawing the prize and shooting down the wing. Leaving the would-be tackler wide mouthed in disbelief. Reminiscent of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.. 'Beep Beep'. No doubt Wheatley knew all about the countries leading try scorer and made sure he was heavily marked. Soon surrounded, instead of being bundled into touch, Will cleverly kicked back infield for others to chase. Ensians tenacity was soon rewarded with a penalty just 10m out. A quick tap from Lofty was popped to Jay Walsh, who hit the line at pace. Taking two men with him as he bundled his way over to score. Bentley's conversion typified his current form; not even needing to watch the ball sail through the sticks. The sound of the strike confirmation enough, as he turned back towards his teammates. At 21-14 Ensians couldn't afford to relax, as Hills were constantly pressing back. They were almost through for a 'leveller' but super tackling from Connor Bateman hindered their ambitions. Still under pressure Harry Wales did well to stop Hills' oncoming flanker, allowing Eaves to 'pick his pocket' in the tackle. Quickly throwing over head to Cowdell who sent a super kick back upfield. Just a yard short of making a 50:22. The gains were sadly soon lost as Hills brought play back into Ensians half, but they couldn't manage to improve their tally before the halftime whistle blew. No doubt with a stern team talk, Hills increased the pressure and caught their own kick from the restart, but Ensians' mettle shone bright as they met every attack head-on. For a good ten minutes they were forced to make tackle after tackle. Eventually Eaves relieved the pressure with a long kick to touch near the half way line. John Neal did well to steal the lineout and return possession to the blues. The next phase saw young hooker Alex Gillson split the Hills back line, as he 'gassed' towards the try line. With Howarth to his left, he weighed up his options and sensibly passed left for Will to cover the remaining 20m to score. Again the conversion on target increased the lead to 28-14. Moments later Ensians had to scramble to defend their line, as Hills forwards attacked. Miraculously the blues kept them out again and forced a goal line drop out. Bentley kicked long up to the halfway line, but sadly the ball glanced the chalk and was sent back for a 5m scrum. Eventually Hills passed the ball wide and their winger charged into the corner. The missed conversion set the score at 28-19 to Ensians. Hills looked worn out, but the score gave them hope the game wasn't lost and from the restart they did well to drive play deep inside Ensians 22. On the eighth phase they lost the ball in the tackle and Cowdell quickly passed wide to Bateman. Connor took play from inside his own 22 into the opposition half, before releasing Haworth on the wing. Will shot down the left to score. Bentley's conversion again perfect, gave the blues a little breathing space with a 16-point lead. The restart didn't go 10 and Hills were walked back for a scrum on the halfway line. A no.8 pickup from Cowdell, was passed on to Harry Bentley and then to Bateman. Hitting the line at full tilt, there was no stopping him. His score under the posts gave Bentley his easiest of the day. At this point Wheatley's frustrations were understandable. They tried to fight back, but the wind wasn't in their favour. Seconds after the restart a hills knock on saw Cowdell scoop up the lost ball on his 10m line. He trampled over his much bigger opposite man and made a solo dash for the line. With defenders hot on his heels, he did well to make it 50m to score. The successful conversion marked Jake's 20th in a row over the last few matches and took the score to a respectable 49-19. Ensians were relentless and soon Hills' composure cracked when their winger lost the ball in a perfectly timed tackle. The resulting melee should have seen a Hills man walk, but the referee decided a yellow card to each team would suffice. With adrenaline pulsing through their veins Hills attempted a final attack, but again the blues held firm defending their line until the final whistle blew.

Heidi Montag: I'm a trailblazer in the entertainment business
Heidi Montag thinks it was "important to be honest" about her cosmetic surgeries. The 38-year-old reality star was widely criticised in 2009 after undergoing ten cosmetic surgery procedures in one day, but Heidi actually considers herself to be a "trailblazer" in the entertainment industry. Asked about her act of honesty, Heidi told The Independent: "I definitely was breaking the barrier and the fourth wall of what everyone was secretly doing in Hollywood. "Part of being a trailblazer is when you are the first one to do something, you're usually the most criticised for it. That's something I can accept because I never want to be a liar; that's not the way that I'm built." Heidi doesn't have any regrets about being so honest. The reality star explained: "That is one of the reasons I thought it was important to be honest about it, because so many people have bad self-esteem or look at these magazines and think: how are they just so naturally beautiful and perfect? "I didn't want anyone to think that you just grow into a new nose or you just [start] anti-ageing. That's just not the truth and the reality of what so many of these people were doing. "I wanted to tell the story of, hey, this is what I did and what a lot of people do; to break that facade and that mirage of what's going on in Hollywood. Yeah, there are a lot of beautiful people, but there's a lot of unnaturally beautiful people as well, and it cost them a lot of money and time and being cut open and surgery." Heidi has been married to Spencer Pratt since 2008, and she feels proud of their longevity as a couple. She said: "We both love to laugh and find whatever is funny at the moment, but we just really prioritise each other and always have, and that's definitely the secret." Heidi also considers her faith to be an important part of her success. The 'Hills' star shared: "I have a deep faith and I really pray hard about a lot of things. I feel like where God is calling my life to go is where I go, and that's how I operate."

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt 'don't have the money to rebuild their home'
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt "don't have the finances" to rebuild their home. The 38-year-old TV star and Spencer, 41, lost their home in the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year, and Heidi has now admitted that they don't have the money they need in order to rebuild the property. Speaking to The Independent, Heidi explained: "They're saying it's gonna cost five million to rebuild the house that cost a third of that; we just don't have the finances, and I'm not sure we can keep our lot because you still have to pay a mortgage on it. I'm not sure what we're going to be able to do." Heidi is determined to work as hard as possible in a bid to raise money. However, the reality star isn't sure if it'll be enough. She said: "I'm just trying to work as hard as I can, as much as I can, to be able to afford any type of house or down payment on something for our kids." In February, Spencer explained that he was still trying to "process" the damage caused by the Los Angeles wildfires. The 41-year-old TV star and Heidi lost their Pacific Palisades home during the devastating wildfires in January, and Spencer admitted that he was struggling to come to terms with the situation. Asked how he was coping with the situation, Spencer - who has been married to Heidi since 2008 - told E! News: "I'd say 'not good' is the honest answer. The last two days have been the hardest for some reason. "I don't know if Heidi was processing sooner than I was, and I was so focused on Heidi's music success that I didn't have time to think about our situation." At the time, Heidi acknowledged that the loved-up duo were facing "a long road ahead". The 'Hills' star admitted that it would actually take "years" for their lives to return to normality. Reflecting on the devastating wildfires, Heidi said: "It's still so fresh. It seems kind of like old news to other people, but there's a long road ahead and it's gonna take years to get our life back. And hopefully we can."

Kristin Cavallari wants her jewellery empire
Kristin Cavallari's daughter plans to "take over" her jewellery line one day. The former 'Hills' star launched Uncommon James in 2017 and nine-year-old Saylor - who she has with ex-husband Jay Cutler - is already harbouring dreams of following in her footsteps inn the future. Speaking on her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast, Kristin said: "She has all the plans to take over Uncommon James one day, and I honestly do feel like she probably will because she is very into it for being nine years old." Earlier this month, Saylor curated her first collection for Uncommon James and her 38-year-old mom - who also has sons Camden, 12, ad Jaxon, 10, with Jay - has enjoyed seeing her daughter's enthusiasm for the project. She said: "She's been telling everybody. I think the whole school knows about it. "When it came out, she actually had all of her little girlfriends over, and she gifted everyone the collection... "It's just been really fun for me to see how excited she is about this and to be able to do this." Kristin shared details of Saylor's first jewellery collection earlier this month. Sharing a photo on Instagram, she wrote: "It's a big day for my angel baby!! Saylor has her first jewelry collection out today with @uncommonjames . A beachy vibe with seashells, colorful beads, flamingos plus a lot more. It was so sweet having this experience with my girl and I'm so proud of her [pink heart emojis] (sic)" Meanwhile, last month Kristin insisted Saylor wasn't going to need any advice when she was growing up and starting to date. Speaking at a live taping of her podcast in New York City, she said: "First of all, Saylor doesn't need advice. She's gonna be just fine. That girl is tough...[She's] literally my mini-me. "Dating advice for Saylor: really listen to your gut. I think sometimes, especially when we're younger, we ignore red flags. We put up with s*** that we shouldn't put up with. "I think it's more about teaching my daughter to really love herself so that she doesn't put up with s*** from other people."
