DWTS Alum Considering Having a Baby Following Surprising Relationship Announcement

Heavy/ABC Kristin Cavallari is thinking about having another baby.

Season 13 “Dancing With the Stars” alum Kristin Cavallari said that she’s open to the idea of having a baby with her boyfriend, Mark Estes.

“I’m not actively thinking about it, but it’s definitely in the back of my mind, is, you know, he wants to have a kid. I’m mulling it over,” Cavallari said in a clip from her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast.

When Cavallari’s best friend Justin Anderson said that he could see her “having another kid” and mentioned that the baby would be really good looking, Cavallari responded, “that’s why I might have to do it.”

“If he ends up really being the one, I would have a kid,” she said, adding that things with Estes have become “pretty serious.”

The former reality star already has three kids with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler; Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8. Cavallari and Cutler co-parent their kids. As far as the public knows, Cavallari hasn’t introduced her kids to any guys that she’s dated, but they have met Estes.

“[He] came and picked me up and he met my kids. He actually met my mom too because my mom was babysitting my kids, so it just really threw him in the mix,” she said on a March 2024 episode of her podcast.

Others pointed out the 13-year age gap as a potential issue.

“I don’t understand how this is a convo after 3 months of fun,” one person wrote, pointing out that Cavallari’s relationship with Estes is brand new.

“He IS still a kid. Let’s pump the breaks,” someone else added.

“She’s really even thinking of having a baby with a guy who lipsyncs on tiktok? whew,” a third comment read.
