Estes is fresh out of a relationship with Kristin Cavallari. A source confirmed to Us Weekly in September that Estes had called it quits with Laguna Beach alum, 37, after seven months of dating.
A different source told Us that Cavallari and Estes had significantly different visions for their future leading to their breakup. “As they started to get more serious in their relationship, issues started to surface,” the insider shared. “They kept having conversations about the future but weren’t aligned. Kristin realized they were on different pages with what they wanted long-term.”
According to the source, Estes “really wants to settle down and start a family,” which he had been open about “from the start” of their relationship. Kristin already shares three children Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8, with ex-husband Jay Cutler.
While she was open to the idea of having more children, the insider said she was “very content with her life and family,” adding, “The age difference was a big factor, and them being in different stages of life was the dealbreaker.”
Additionally, the source noted that Cavallari realized her 13-year age difference between her and Estes was not going to “work long-term,” especially since she’s become more “independent.” While Cavallari and Estes are no longer together, their split was amicable.
As for Walker, the Love Island USA star recently appeared on season 6 of the reality TV series which was hosted by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix. While Madix’s hosting abilities received criticisms from other cast members like Daia McGhee who claimed she picked favorites, Walker has gushed over the Vanderpump star.
“I feel like everyone has their own experiences. Everyone deals with different people differently,” she exclusively told Us in August. “But Ariana, I cannot quote her higher. She’s the most amazing, supportive lady ever and I will back her. If anyone says that she’s not like that, then you weren’t there long enough to know what she’s like. I’ll say that.” She said, “Jealousy is a curse.”
