Kristin Cavallari Says Her Divorce From Jay Cutler Didn t Happen Overnight

Get the Full StoryKristin Cavallari and her soon-to-be ex-husband Jay Cutler starred on a reality TV show about their lives, so really, no one should be surprised that their marriage ended. At this point, reality TV is such a curse for celebrity marriages, it might as well be a vow. I promise to take you for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, but the best of luck to us if we sign a contract with the E! network. Still, some people were shocked when Kristin and Jay announced they were dunzo after nearly seven years of marriage. Kristin recently spoke about their choice to go separate ways, and she would like everyone to know that it wasn t exactly an impulse decision.

Kristin and Jay split up after they returned from a holiday trapped situation in the Bahamas. The final nail in the coffin might have been some alleged cheating, but according to Kristin, it s all irrelevant. Kristin says she and Jay hid their marriage problems from the viewers of Very Cavallari. via People magazine:

I always thought it was interesting when people would refer to us as couple goals. I was like, If you guys only knew. ..We definitely kept a lot of stuff private. Producers saw stuff, but they didn t put it in the show which is good, because I don t want my kids to ever see that .

A lot, is a pretty vague quantity. But you might have an idea of just how much drama they were dealing with when you learn that they had been trying to fix their issues for years, plural. As in lots and lots of years.

It didn t happen overnight. We tried really, really hard for years and years. It was the hardest decision I ve ever made I m proud for making this decision. It wore at me every single day for years. I feel like my whole world is opening up now because of it, and I m just feeling the best I ve felt in a really long time. I m really excited about the future all around.

But again, Kristin won t give up the details of what might have slowly destroyed their marriage. I m sure that s something we definitely won t eventually learn in a future reality series for E! called Single Mamallari. But she did state a common culprit, which is that she got with Jay when she was 23 and he was 27, and they ve just grown into different people.

Every relationship has their stuff. I met Jay when I was 23. I was a baby. Jay and I had so much love for each other, but we grew up. When you work at something for so many years and nothing s changing, I think you have to just make a decision. We all want to be happy.

Kristin has a cookbook that will be released soon, called True Comfort. She wouldn t give up the dirt on what specific issue caused her marriage so much grief. Maybe she s saving that for people who purchase her book, or at least dropping a clue here and there. We ll have to wait to see if there s a gluten-free mac and hormone-free cheese recipe that leads in with: This dish takes a bit of effort. Of course, some people will naturally be too lazy, but I m not naming names.
