Tearful Kristin Cavallari Reacts to Her and Jay Cutler's 12-Year-Old Son Getting Tackled in Football Game

Kristin Cavallari isn’t holding back.
The mother of three got candid about the painful experiencing of allowing her and ex-husband Jay Cutler’s 12-year-old son Camden to play tackle football in middle school.
“It’s been so emotional,” the 37-year-old, who announced her split from the Chicago Bears star in 2020, shared on the Sept. 17 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast. “I actually cried the night before Camden’s first game.”
The Very Cavallari alum, who also shares son Jaxon, 10, and daughter Saylor, 8, with Jay, noted that her son is the team’s quarterback and is up against seventh and eighth graders that Kristin said are 6-foot-4 and up.
It was in Camden’s third game, when he took his first hits, that the Laguna Beach alum was brought to tears.
“He took some really bad hits—this is not my intention, by the way, to cry,” she noted. “He got hit, and he went flying and he fell really hard. I just knew, as a mom, how scared he was after that first hit. And that’s what f--ked me up more.”
Wiping away tears, the Uncommon James founder was surprised by her clear emotion.
“Oh my god, I really thought I’d worked through all this,” she said. “Thinking of him being scared out there just wrecks me. It just wrecks me. Moreso than the physical aspect, obviously, physically I don’t want him to get hurt, and then he got hit a couple other times. And that was honestly one of the hardest things I’ve had to sit through. It’s so hard seeing your baby get hit.”
And though Kristin noted that the quarterback is one of the more protected positions on the team, she shared that her son Jaxon also has less safe football ambitions.
“He said he wants to be wide receiver, and I said, ‘No,’” Kristin shared. “I think football and all these sports are really good for these boys in so many ways. I just, f--k, I don’t know how to do it.”
Kristin, who has been open about the possibility of expanding her family with her current boyfriend Mark Estes, also discussed the conflicting emotions that come with being a parent.
“The hardest part of being a parent is, your kids are literally little pieces of your heart, quite literally, out there in the world getting s--t thrown at them, getting physically hit, all these things. And all we want to do as moms is protect our babies,” she said. “The flip side of it is when he’s playing really well and he gets a touchdown and everything, it’s just the best feeling in the world and you’re so happy for him.”
