Cavallari and Colletti’s high school romance was documented on the hit reality show “Laguna Beach” in 2004.

The former couple reunited years later when they began hosting a rewatch podcast, “Back to the Beach.”

She told Page Six in May 2022 that the former flames got “really close” while working together again.

“But no, I mean, you know, there’s nothing romantic happening with us,” Cavallari insisted.

She also apologized to her ex after cheating on him during their tumultuous on-again, off-again romance.

“I am more than willing to own up to this right now, because I have blacked it all out of my memory, which is also really f–ked up, and I’m sorry,” she said in a 2023 episode.

“I don’t remember cheating on you. I know that we had talked about maybe I did with Talan,” she told her former boyfriend on their podcast.

“Other than Talan, I don’t think I ever cheated on you with anybody else,” she added.

“He was a five-year senior at USC. He was on top of the world that year.”

After their relationship, Leinart went on to the NFL, where he played for the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and Oakland Raiders.

Cavallari and Conrad share another high-profile ex: Brody Jenner.

Before “Laguna Beach” spinoff series “The Hills” began, Cavallari dated the son of Caitlyn Jenner for about a year. Their relationship eventually fizzled out.

They reconnected over a decade later when she made a brief appearance on “The Hills: New Beginnings” reboot in 2021.

“She really pulls things out of people; she’s so good at that. She’s such a pro in this industry and in reality television. I mean, she’s been doing it since she was a little kid, forever. So she just adds a lot to it,” Brody said of his ex at the time, noting it felt like “no time” had passed.

The TV star was briefly linked to 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey after his infamous split from Jessica Simpson in 2006.

Though their romance was short-lived, the pair seem to be on good terms.

When she was a guest on Lachey’s “Big Morning Buzz” show in 2014, they shared a laugh over the fact that they both —unknowingly — had children named Camden.

Cavallari also had a short-lived romance with “What I Like About You” star, Nick Zano, from 2006 to 2007.

At the time, Page Six reported that the California native got a tattoo of his initials on her wrist.

When asked about the ink, Cavallari “got really giggly and started blushing,” a spy told us in 2007.

After they called it quits, she got the tattoo removed.

One of Cavallari’s most prominent storylines on “The Hills” was her love triangle with Justin Bobby Brescia and Audrina Partridge.

However, Partridge later claimed it was all fabricated for the cameras, telling People in 2022 that Brescia “worked with the show to manufacture a relationship with Kristin to keep him in the public eye.”

“There really wasn’t much for me to say to her. I was finished with Justin and I really didn’t care if Kristin and Justin were hanging out — especially because I knew it was just for the show,” she added.

Jay Cutler

Cavallari fell in love with NFL player Jay Cutler in 2010 and he popped the question after just eight months of dating.

She married the former Chicago Bears quarterback in June 2013 and the pair welcomed three children throughout their marriage.

In April 2020, the couple announced in a joint statement that they were calling it quits “with great sadness.”

The “Very Cavallari” star has been candid about her divorce in the following years, even revealing that their separation was “the best thing [she’s] ever done.”

However, she explained that she does not “regret anything at all” and is “thankful for [their] time together” because they share three children together: sons Camden and Jaxon, and daughter Saylor.

Reflecting on her decision to divorce the athlete, Cavallari said it was “really scary” and took her “a few years to actually pull the trigger.”

“It was just time,” she said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in 2023.

“Nothing major happened. At the end, it was just time. … It’s the scariest thing. It’s always the saddest thing. I mean, it’s so many emotions, but it can also be the best thing.”

“Tyler Cameron and believe it or not, you guys — I know this is really freaking hard to believe — he’s hotter in person,” she said on the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast.

“It’s insane. It’s insane. So yeah, TC for you baby.”

She didn’t divulge when the tryst took place, however the two were seen getting hot and heavy while shooting an Uncommon James campaign in April 2022.
