Kristin Cavallari has found a new partner in Mark Estes. The 37-year-old Laguna Beach celebrity announced their relationship on Instagram on February 27th, sharing a happy photo of the two in Mexico with the caption,
“He makes me happy.”
24-year-old Mark shared a video of himself and Kristin on his TikTok account, where he has a large number of followers. The clip showed the couple embracing and kissing while wearing swimwear during their tropical getaway.
Who is Mark Estes?
Mark is recognized for being a member of the Montana Boyz, a popular TikTok group with almost 460,000 fans. Other members of the collective are Kaleb Campbell Winterburn and Kade Cutter Wilcox.
Their content mainly features dancing and showcasing their cowboy lifestyles. Additionally, the trio frequently flaunts their bare chests in their videos.
Mark and Kristin are both located in Nashville. It is unknown how they became acquainted, but it was probably due to their shared location. Kristin lives in Nashville with her three children, whom she shares with her former spouse.
Mark grew up in Montana, so he is part of the “Montana Boyz” group. He went to Glacier High School in Kalispell, Montana.
Mark, a wide receiver, participated in football at both Montana State University and Montana Tech University. He concluded his football journey at the MSU in November 2023. He posted a farewell post on his Instagram with the following caption.
“What a ride. Thankful for the last 6 years of what this sport has brought me. Thanks to all the coaches and brothers I met along the way ❤️.”
Mark Estes, along with the other two “Montana Boyz,” founded a clothing brand called Belmont Acres.
Belmont Acres’ website says that the company “was born from a shared vision” of Mark, Kaleb, and Kade “who all embraced and cultivated the outdoors from a young age, experiencing firsthand the challenges and triumphs that define life under the Big Sky.”
Mark Estes & Kristin Cavallari
In February 2024, Estes and Cavallari made their relationship known on Instagram when the Hills star shared a picture of them happily vacationing in Mexico.
Numerous well-known acquaintances of Cavallari expressed their approval, including former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe who quoted lyrics from Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten,” the theme song for The Hills.
Soon after, Mark Estes made a bold move by sharing a video on his personal TikTok account featuring him and Cavallari lip-syncing and dancing to the song “(Kissed You) Good Night” by Gloriana. In the video, Estes even lifted Cavallari into his arms.
Cavallari’s fans wasted no time in noticing the 13-year age gap between her and Mark Estes. She addressed the situation on her podcast.
“I want you guys to know that me dating a 24-year-old is not something that I was, like, searching out.”
“I understand what it looks like to the outside world, I really do. I get that. [Mark] is not a typical 24-year-old.”
As per Entertainment Tonight, the couple wants to take things slow despite their relationship’s public scrutiny.
“Kristin and Mark have been taking things slowly and were keeping things private until the news broke today. Both responded to the rumors and are fine with the news about their relationship now being public.”
