Kristin Cavallari's dating life has "really picked back up".

The 38-year-old reality star admits that her dating life has been "nonexistent" for most of the year - but Kristin is now looking to the future with optimism.

The blonde beauty explained on her Let's Be Honest podcast: "I don't know the last time I talked about my dating life. Probably because my dating life was nonexistent this whole year until recently, and now it's really picked back up, and I'm really excited about it."

Kristin "didn't date" for the first eight months of the year. However, she recently felt ready to return to the dating game.

She said: "I literally said to the universe, 'I'm ready to go on a date'. The next day, I got a phone call from my agent who set me up with a coach, which is also funny because Patti Stanger came on my podcast and said, 'You should go out with coaches.'"

Kristin refused to share the name of her date. However, she described the mystery man as a "big deal".

She added: "He is represented by CAA. So am I. Our two agents made it happen. He flew to Nashville, took me to dinner, such a great guy."

Kristin has been single since splitting from Mark Estes in 2024. But she previously admitted that she'd returned to dating apps and is hopeful of finding love.

She said on the Let's Be Honest podcast: "Nashville is awful for dating. That's why I have to be on a dating app."

Despite this, Kristin intended to focus on her podcast tour before turning her focus towards her love life.

Kristin - who was married to former NFL star Jay Cutler between 2013 and 2022 - said: "I was supposed to go on two dates, and I was like, 'You have to wait until after my podcast tour.'"

Kristin also explained that she was making a concerted effort to "stay out of headlines".

Asked if she's been pursued by any "known people", the blonde beauty replied: "These ones are. But, I mean, I'm trying to stay out of headlines while I'm on the podcast. Then after I'm going quiet."
