Kristin Cavallari’s new beau, Mark Estes, has already met her kids.
During Tuesday’s episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, the “Hills” alum recalled hitting the major milestone before their first date on Feb. 13.
“[He] came and picked me up and he met my kids,” she told her podcast co-host, Justin Anderson. “He actually met my mom too because my mom was babysitting my kids, so it just really threw him in the mix.”

Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager defend Kristin Cavallari, 37, dating 24-year-old Mark Estes: ‘You go, girl!’
“This is the real first guy I’d say they’ve met,” she pointed out.
The devoted mom — who shares Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8 with ex-husband Jay Cutler — furthered, “When [Estes] came to pick me up, the boys were like, ‘Can I show you my room?’ [Estes] is upstairs with my kids seeing their room. The boys were so excited about him.”
“My kids are really excited for me. My kids really want to see me happy and I’ve been very good at separating my dating life from [them].”
Cavallari, 37, noted that her kids had only met one other boyfriend and it was only because he was a major musician and her kids were “big fans of him.” (In 2021, she was linked to country singer Chase Rice.)
During the podcast, the former reality TV star also got candid about how she and Estes, 24, initially connected.
“Back in like September, I’m scrolling TikTok and I stumble upon this boy group — I guess you can call them the Montana Boyz,” she told Anderson.
The TV personality recalled seeing Estes in a clip and immediately thinking to herself, “‘Holy s–t, this is the hottest guy I’ve ever seen — in the world.'”
Coincidentally, Cavallari later received a message on Instagram from the boy group that read, “I love you.”
“Out of anyone who has DM’d me in the last four years that’s the one I’m most excited about,” the mom of three pointed out, adding she later learned the Montana Boyz had sent the message on a drunken night out.
Immediately, Cavallari invited the group — made up of Estes, Kaleb Winterburn and Kade Cutterwilcox — on her podcast, claiming she has “no chill.”
“I actually don’t know how young they are at this point but I knew they were young,” she said, explaining she only expected “a fun flirt and that’s it.”

However, the “Laguna Beach” star didn’t connect with them until December when her assistant told her they were moving to Nashville, Tenn., where she lives.
“I was like, ‘Hey, I heard you guys are moving to Nashville,’ and then I asked which one I was talking to,” she recalled. “And he said, ‘This is Mark responding,’ and I said, ‘Oh good you’re my favorite.'”
“We just kind of started talking from there. I still did not think anything would ever happen,” Cavallari continued.
once they settled in Nashville by January 2024, Cavallari recalled asking the Boyz to join her and her friends for a night of line dancing.
“We all went out. And then, he asked me to be his Valentine,” she said. “I said, ‘I would love to be your Valentine but I can’t go to dinner with you on Valentine’s Day because I’m taking my kids to dinner.”
She then recalled him picking her up for dinner and bringing her flowers on their first date.
“It was very sweet,” Cavallari said. “Then he dropped me off. We were making out in my driveway. I felt like I was in high school.”
Just days after their first date, Cavallari debuted her relationship with Estes by posting a selfie of them on Instagram while vacationing in Los Cabos, Mexico.
The recent college grad also posted a PDA-filled TikTok with the MTV alum, where he said he was “ready to fall.”
