Kristin Cavallari, 39, recently shared photos on Instagram wearing a fitted red mini dress during a visit to Chicago. The off-the-shoulder Lamarque dress featured a gathered skirt and was paired with strappy cream-colored heels.
During her trip to Illinois, Cavallari promoted her new men's jewelry collaboration with Cubs player Pete Crow-Armstrong. She captioned the carousel post, "Making excuses at work to come home for a few days ♥️." Cavallari, who was born in Chicago, was seen posing with Crow-Armstrong and Carson Kelly.
Cavallari's appearance comes as an old clip from her "Let's Be Honest" podcast resurfaced, featuring a flirty exchange with NFL player Travis Kelce. The podcast episode was recorded in September 2023, shortly before Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift became public.
In the unearthed clip, Cavallari expressed admiration for Kelce, calling him her "TV crush" and stating she was "in love with you" when his show "Catching Kelce" aired in 2016. Social media users interpreted her comments as a playful advance toward Kelce, who was secretly dating Swift at the time.
During the podcast conversation, Cavallari asked Kelce about how he determines if he will like someone when dating, suggesting she knows immediately. Kelce responded that it takes time to know someone well enough to commit to a relationship, stating, "I can't just meet somebody and just automatically think that, you know? I mean, forever is just a day away. I think that's just... it's too much, and I'm setting myself up for failure."
Cavallari also inquired about the role of initial chemistry and whether it can grow. Kelce affirmed that while the initial spark is fun, other aspects like tendencies and daily habits can contribute to a relationship's growth. He stated, "But at the same time, you know, as you get to know somebody or you see their tendencies and what they do on daily basis, I think all of that can grow 100%."
Cavallari, who has three children with ex-husband Jay Cutler, has focused on her businesses, including Uncommon James. Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship after his appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game and have remained a high-profile couple.
