Former “Hills” star Kristin Cavallari revealed the shocking news that she had divorce on her mind for years before she and her estranged husband Jay Cutler announced their split in April, according to Fox News.
“I’m excited about the next chapter,” she told Entertainment Tonight of her split.
“That’s my only priority at the moment, and they’re handling it well,” the Uncommon James founder said.
“I’m just trying to stay positive and focus on all of the positive things. But I have sad days, without a doubt.”
It was not an easy decision, obviously. It was something that I truly thought about every single day for over two years.”
“It was the hardest decision that I have ever made,” Cavallari added. “But I don’t know, my mom [Judith Spies Eifrig] used to say, ‘You’ll know when it’s time.’ I feel like that was true. I knew. And that’s that.”
The business owner’s divorce announcement shocked fans although she said it wasn’t “out of left field.”
“It just didn’t work. I met Jay when I was 23. I was a kid, but we tried,” Cavallari said. “We tried everything, and Jay and I had so much love for each other. No one could ever take that away from us. But at the end of the day, we weren’t happy.”
“I think life is too short.”
“I didn’t want to talk about my divorce on camera and have to expose that. I really think that some things should be kept private,” she said. “It would have gone horrible. It would have been awful and I had so much anxiety about it.”
