Cristina Cavallari is telling fans her love story with her new boyfriend, Marcos Estes.
In a new episode of his podcast, Let’s be honest with Kristin Cavallarithe 37-year-old reality TV star says it was TikTok, of all places, that made the initial connection.
Estes, 24, is part of a content creation team known as Montana Boyz, who post videos about their lives on a Montana ranch. The group has more than 630,000 followers on the social media app and it was while Cavallari was “browsing TikTok” that she found her new boyfriend.
“So I say, ‘Holy shit, who are these guys? Because they’re so hot, but specifically this one’, who I’ll refer to as Montana. We’re both like, ‘That’s the hottest guy we’ve ever seen,'” she told best friend Justin Anderson, a guest on the podcast episode.
“If anyone could draw your type, this is your type,” Anderson responded.
“He is. You know what he is too? He’s gorgeous, it’s like everything about him is perfect, but he’s also outdoorsy and manly and it’s like that combination of the two to me is, like, game over.” “, continued Cavallari.
Although she was overwhelmed at the time and called Estes “the hottest guy” she had ever seen, she said she continued with her life for several weeks until she randomly received a message from the Montana Boyz Instagram account.
“Three weeks later, I get a DM from Montana Boyz on Instagram that just says ‘I love you.’ And I go, ‘Oh, my God,'” the lagoon beach the star said, prompting Anderson to add that her reaction was reminiscent of “a little middle school girl.”
Ultimately, Cavallari says she and her assistant got to work and arranged for content creators to be on her podcast, and in the process, discovered the group was moving to Nashville, where she is located.
“I asked who I was talking to and he said, ‘This is Montana talking back,’” Cavallari said, referring to Estes as “Montana” throughout the episode. “And I said, ‘Oh, that’s great. You’re my favorite.'”
She and several other “girls” who work with her ended up meeting the Montana Boyz one night in Nashville when Estes point-blank asked her to be his girlfriend, which she thought was “cute.”
For their first date on February 13th – two weeks before her difficult launched their relationship on Instagram – Estes picked her up at her home and met her mother and three children – Camden, Jaxon and Saylor – who she shares with her ex-husband Jay Cutler. She said the whole ordeal, which ended with a make-out session in her garage, made her feel “like she was in high school.”
“He came, brought me flowers, picked me up, we went to dinner, it was really sweet,” said Cavallari.
Apparently addressing the quick turnaround between the February 13th date and the official February 27th release, Cavallari said it was “a little early” but that he had received a tip that TMZ I obtained photos of them together and planned to share them.
“I was like, ‘You know what? I’ve been in this business for 20 years,’” she added. “’The media has always largely controlled the narrative.’ And part of me was like, ‘I want to take this into my own hands.'”
Turning to the 13-year age difference, Cavallari insists that in this case age is just a number and that it was never her intention to start a relationship with someone much younger than her.
“Me dating a 24-year-old is not something I was looking for. It’s not something I ever thought would happen,” she admitted. “I understand what it looks like to the outside world. I really do. I understand.”
Cavallari added: “He’s not a typical 24-year-old.”
At the beginning of March, she also responded to criticism in a TikTok calling out the haters and showing that she’s not bothered by the backlash.
“So what are you going to do about it,” Cavallari lip-synced to the video, ruffling her hair and looking directly into the camera. “Are you going to arrest me? Are you going to give me a fine?”
