A reality star standing at the threshold of her fortieth year has spoken openly about desire, solitude, and the relationships that shaped her, offering a reflection many people recognize: that the body's appetites and the heart's expectations do not always move in step with the calendar. Kristin Cavallari, speaking on her own podcast, placed her candor against the backdrop of a public divorce, a business built in its wake, and a series of romances that ranged from brief to tender. Her remarks read less as a confession than as an invitation to notice how openly a woman in midlife may now choose
Kristin Cavallari Talks Sex Life, Single Life and Turning 40 on 'Let's Be Honest' Podcast
"If this is what 40s is... this is fun."
Why is this getting coverage at all? It's a podcast confession.
Because she's specific. She says she isn't having sex now, that she's more sexual at 40 than at 25, and that she misses her last relationship's intimacy.
Worth noting that's all self-reported. It's her account of her own life, and nobody else is quoted.
She also said she wants a relationship, yet she ended things with Nate Thompson.
Yes. She called it one of the deeper relationships she's had, then said she just didn't want to be in a relationship at the time.
That's a timeline question. The coverage gives March 2025 for the breakup, but not what she's done since or how she feels now beyond this episode.
And the money detail about Uncommon James?
She said she had to give Jay Cutler half the company's value in cash and properties, and that she gets nothing from him.
That's her description of the settlement. The article doesn't cite divorce documents, so the terms are as she told them.
So what's the takeaway?
Mostly that she's candid, and upbeat about turning 40.

A reality star standing at the threshold of her fortieth year has spoken openly about desire, solitude, and the relationships that shaped her, offering a reflection many people recognize: that the body's appetites and the heart's expectations do not always move in step with the calendar. Kristin Cavallari, speaking on her own podcast, placed her candor against the backdrop of a public divorce, a business built in its wake, and a series of romances that ranged from brief to tender. Her remarks read less as a confession than as an invitation to notice how openly a woman in midlife may now choose to name what was once kept quiet.
On a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest," Kristin Cavallari, 39, spoke plainly about her sex life, or the lack of one, as her 40th birthday draws near. She said she is not currently having sex, and that her desire has changed with age. She described it as wild, and said that at 40 she feels far more sexual than she did at 25. Without a partner, she said, she takes care of that herself, and it is one reason she can't wait to be in a relationship again.
Her past gives the remarks context. Cavallari was married to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler from 2013 until their divorce was announced in 2020, and they have three children. She has said that the success of her company, Uncommon James, gave her the confidence to leave, and that the business shaped the financial outcome, since she had to give Cutler half its value rather than half his money.
Her romantic life since then has been varied. She dated Mark Estes briefly in 2024 and also saw country singer Morgan Wallen, whom she described as good in bed and the first man who was not fully enamored with her, which unsettled her. Later, she called her relationship with former NHL player Nate Thompson the most honest and pure she had known, though it ended in March 2025 when she realized she did not want a relationship after all.
Nothing in these remarks carries institutional weight. It is a public figure speaking candidly about her own life, and it shows how openly she is willing to talk about desire and dating as she turns forty.
On a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest," Kristin Cavallari, 39, talked plainly about her sex life, or the lack of one, as her 40th birthday approaches. She said she is not currently having sex, but that desire changes with age. In her words, your sex drive as you get older is "like wild."
She went further. At 40, she said, she feels far more sexual than she did at 25, and she would like an outlet for it. Lacking a partner, she said, she takes care of that herself, which she described with a blunt expletive. It is one reason, she added, that she can't wait to be in a relationship again.
Cavallari described her most recent relationship as a very sexual one, something she said she needed and now misses. Earlier in the same episode, the "Very Cavallari" star joked that it takes one to two years of abstinence to become a nun, and that she is on her way to that achievement. Still, the turn toward 40 sounded upbeat. "If this is what 40s is," she said, "yeah. This is fun."
Her history gives the remarks some context. Cavallari was married to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler from 2013 to 2020, when she announced their divorce. They have three children: Camden, 14, Jaxon, 12, and Saylor, 10.
She spoke about the end of that marriage on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast in July 2026. She said the success of her company, Uncommon James, gave her the confidence to leave. It also shaped the financial outcome. Because the company was a large asset on the couple's balance sheet, she said, she did not walk away with half of Cutler's money. Instead, she had to give him half the value of Uncommon James, paid in cash and properties and other assets. She says she gets no money from her ex-husband and is glad about that now.
After the divorce, she dated Mark Estes for a few months in 2024, and also dated country singer Morgan Wallen. On Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast in December 2024, she said Wallen "was good in bed." He was, she said, the first man in her life who wasn't completely enamored with her, which threw her. She said she loves having the upper hand and did not have it with him.
In an April 2025 episode of her own podcast, she said she had been in a relationship with former NHL player Nate Thompson, but that they ended things in March. She called it the most honest, pure relationship she had experienced, with a retired hockey player and father who had done a lot of work on himself. They connected deeply, she said, among the deeper relationships she has had, especially given how short it was. She ended it after realizing she just didn't want to be in a relationship.
Nothing here carries institutional stakes. It is a public figure speaking candidly about her own life, and the episode mostly shows how open she is about dating and desire as her 40th birthday nears.
