As Estes lip-synched to Cavallari, she returned the favor, and he pulled her in for a kiss. She then rolled her head back with a laugh before hopping into the Montana State University and Montana Tech alum’s arms.
From there, Estes carried her toward the camera, his arm wrapped securely around her torso, and one hand at her lower back.

Kristin Cavallari separated from Jay Cutler in 2020
Cavallari divorced Jay Cutler in 2020. The pair had been married for seven years and have sons Camden, 7, Jaxon, 5, and daughter Saylor, 4, together.
The reality told E! News in June that dating was “really not important” to her as she was focusing on being a mom “first and foremost.”
“I've had a lot of fun in the last few years, just really focusing on my friends and getting to hang out with my friends again, because I didn't get to do that for a long time,” she said.
“Really, when you're having little babies and three babies, essentially, at one point in time, that was my world. And so it's been nice to just have fun again," Cavallari added.

When asked what she would want in a partner, Cavallari said, “I want to meet someone organically.” She’d previously admitted that she was using social media to date, though she had a few parameters on that method.
"I can't filter through all of my DMs, but I can see those blue checkmarks, honey!" The Hills alum said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in 2022. "I don't like people that often, and I'm pretty picky, I guess, but I'm not gonna settle. I'm gonna stay picky," she continued.
Cavallari also added that she would prefer someone who was not famous, adding, “I really, in my head — my ideal man is a businessman who no one knows."
