Kristin Cavallari is having a bit of a dry spell in her dating life.

The 38-year-old reality star opened up about the first half of 2025 for her romantically on the Tuesday, Aug. 19 episode of her Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari podcast.

While discussing friendships, she touched on her longtime pal Justin Anderson, saying that she finds a lot of what she needs from her hair stylist bestie.

“I really am able to get a lot from Justin, which, hey, maybe that’s why I haven’t felt the need to settle or make a man work because I’m gained a lot from Justin that I would need from a man,” Cavallari mused, before adding, “Other than sex, obviously, which we won’t even go there ‘cause the lack of that is, that’s really sad.”

The Hills alum noted that she hasn’t been in the dating scene this year after her October 2024 split from her former boyfriend of seven months, Mark Estes.

“I haven’t been dating this year, you guys. I haven’t been dating,” she shared. “I did just go on a date, and it was a great date and it was a really great first date back in the game … but I am kind of back out there, not back out there. I went on one date. But I was excited to go on a date.”

And while she seems ready to return to the dating world, Cavallari added, “I’ve needed this year to kind of just focus on myself.”

However, despite claiming she hasn’t been dating this year, Cavallari previously opened up about a short-lived romance she had with retired NHL star Nate Thompson this past spring.

On an April 2025 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, Cavallari called their time together "the most honest, pure, amazing, quote-unquote relationship I've ever had."

"He is an ex-hockey player. He's been retired for a couple years now. He's a dad. He's someone who has done a lot of work on himself, and we really connected on such a deep level," she said. "Honestly, one of the deeper relationships I've had, especially in such a short amount of time."

Ultimately, things ended between them in March after Cavallari realized she "just didn't wanna be in a relationship" at the time.

The jewelry designer and entrepreneur was previously married to retired NFL star Jay Cutler, with whom she shares kids Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 9. The exes split in spring 2020.
