Kristin Cavallari isn’t holding back when it comes to one of her celebrity crushes.

Currently single, Cavallari is focused on finding someone who fits into her lifestyle, specifically, a “normal guy who already has kids.”

The fashion mogul and former "Laguna Beach" star shares three children, Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9, with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. The couple finalized their divorce in 2022 after seven years of marriage.

Since then, Kristin Cavallari has been linked to several high-profile names, including country singer Morgan Wallen, TikTok personality Mark Estes, and former NHL player Nate Thompson.

More recently, the "Very Cavallari" star got candid on a new episode of her "Let’s Be Honest" podcast, revealing a hilarious and slightly hazy encounter with actor Brandon Sklenar during the Stagecoach music festival.

The 38-year-old reality TV veteran recalled that she had been “a few cocktails in” and had microdosed mushrooms when she unexpectedly crossed paths with the "1923" and "It Ends With Us" star, who is currently in a relationship with Courtney Salviolo.

“I wish this moment was not so blurry for me,” Cavallari said, laughing. “But all of a sudden, I was able to pick out Brandon Sklenar, and he's with a couple guys. I'm pretty sure he had his hood over his head, like I f-cking clocked him.”

In classic fangirl fashion, she didn’t hesitate to make a move.

“I go, ‘Oh my God, are you Brandon?’ I think I said his last name wrong. I was like, ‘Are you Brandon Sklenar?’ Total fangirl moment," she added. "I like f-cking attacked him.”

Cavallari admitted she was overwhelmed meeting her longtime celeb crush. “I’m like, freaking out. And I said something to the effect of, ‘You're my number one, you're my biggest celebrity crush.’”

But it was Sklenar’s polite response that truly sealed the moment for her. “He shook my hand and he looked me in the eye and he said, ‘Thank you.’ And my life was made. I literally. I could die today and be a happy woman.”

Before Kristin Cavallari made headlines for drunkenly throwing herself at actor Brandon Sklenar, she was busy sharing a sweet and rare moment with one of the most important men in her life, her son Jaxon.

In March, the "Laguna Beach" alum took to Instagram to document a special mother-son “date night” with her 10-year-old, whom she shares with ex-husband Jay Cutler. The two tried out Nashville’s famous Hattie B’s Hot Chicken for the first time, with Cavallari sharing a selfie of the outing and writing, “Date night.”

“We’re trying Hattie B’s for the first time. [I’ve] never had it after all these years,” Cavallari told her followers, giving the spicy dish a thumbs up as her son dipped into some sauce and took a bite.

The post stood out as Cavallari rarely shares photos of her children’s faces on social media.

She previously explained her decision to Us Weekly, saying, “I just wanna respect their privacy until they’re old enough to make that decision.” While admitting she’s looking forward to the day they can join social platforms, she added, “I still think they’re a little young to be on that stuff, but the day is coming.”

In addition to Jaxon, Cavallari also shares sons Camden, 12, and daughter Saylor, 8, with Cutler. Despite her occasional wild stories, her recent Instagram post was a sweet reminder of the quiet moments she treasures most.

In the five years since she stepped away from TV, Cavallari kept busy building her brand, including the launch of her popular podcast "Let’s Be Honest," which became the jumping-off point for the new docuseries. The "Honestly Cavallari" podcast tour, which took place in March, spanned four cities in just seven days and brought Cavallari face-to-face with fans in a whole new way.

The result? "Honestly Cavallari" turned out to be what she calls her “favorite experience on a show” to date. Unlike past projects, this one gave her the freedom to be fully herself, both on stage and on camera. “It just really kind of naturally fit into my life,” she explained.

With "Honestly Cavallari," the reality star isn’t just making a return to television, she’s reclaiming it on her own terms.
