Kristin Cavallari Wears This Special Accessory Amid Romance With Mark Estes

Kristin Cavallari's latest Instagram post has ignited curiosity among her followers, coming just weeks after she went public with her new romantic interest.

In the post, the 37-year-old "Laguna Beach" alum shared two selfies that saw her rocking a black open-front top and a gold necklace bearing the letter "M."

With the caption simply reading "M," fans couldn't help but speculate whether this accessory was a subtle nod to her new flame, Mark Estes, a 24-year-old former football player.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Estes himself chimed in with a comment, writing "Smash" beneath Cavallari's captivating snapshots.

Cavallari introduced her new beau to the world via Instagram at the end of the previous month, sharing a radiant snapshot of the couple basking in the sun during a getaway to Los Cabos, Mexico. Since then, their bond has deepened, evident in their playful TikTok collaborations and recent sightings returning from their vacation together.

Sharing a tender snapshot of them with the caption, "He makes me happy."

According to an insider speaking to Page Six, Cavallari is enamored by Estes' attractiveness, finding him "super hot."

The source further revealed that Estes' flirtatious nature has captivated Cavallari, who is thoroughly enjoying the dynamic between them. Their recent trip to Mexico was described as a brief yet enjoyable escapade, with the relationship still in its early stages.

According to another source close to the couple, their relationship extends further back than public perception suggests, with the pair intentionally keeping their romance under wraps. Described as genuinely content together, Cavallari and Estes share private happiness, with the insider noting the latter's exceptional character and their shared joy in each other's company.

"They’re really happy together," said the insider. "He's been so great to her and is just a really nice guy."

The source added, "He’s not your typical 24-year-old. She’s having a great time and is living her best life with him.”

Cavallari recently took to TikTok to address the scrutiny surrounding her relationship with a younger man, playfully dismissing the criticism with a cheeky caption: "When they’re all up in arms that I'm dating a 24-year-old. Andddd?"

Accompanied by a video mouthing the words to a TikTok audio, she defiantly quipped, "So what are you gonna do about it? Are you gonna arrest me? Are you gonna give me a ticket?" Her lighthearted response showcases her unapologetic attitude towards her romantic choices.

When Cavallari decided to unveil their blossoming romance to the world, Estes also joined in by sharing an affectionate TikTok video from their tropical retreat.

Set against the backdrop of a picturesque pool with the ocean and bright blue sky as the backdrop, the couple sang along to the lyrics of "(Kissed You) Good Night" by Gloriana. The video captured intimate moments as the former college football player lip-synched to Cavallari before she reciprocated, leading to a tender kiss between them.

Cavallari's laughter filled the air as she playfully leaned back before being swept up into Estes's arms. With her laughter echoing, Estes carried her towards the camera, his protective arm around her, creating a captivating scene of their affectionate bond.

Cavallari's latest relationship announcement follows a period where she's been candid about her journey in the dating realm since her divorce from Jay Cutler in 2020, ending their seven-year marriage. Together, they share three children: sons Camden, 7, Jaxon, 5, and daughter Saylor, 4.

In June, she shared with E! News that dating hadn't been a priority for her, emphasizing her focus on motherhood above all else.

"I've had a lot of fun in the last few years, just really focusing on my friends and getting to hang out with my friends again because I didn't get to do that for a long time," Cavallari said. "Really, when you're having little babies and three babies, essentially, at one point in time, that was my world. And so it's been nice to just have fun again."

When it comes to her ideal partner, Cavallari expressed a desire for a natural connection, stating, "I want to meet someone organically."
