Where Kristin Cavallari & Bobby Flay Stand After He Slid into Her DMs

“I DMed you and I said to you—now, I know what words I used specifically because you reminded me— ‘I’m going to be in Nashville for one night, can I take you to dinner?’” he continued. "And you literally said something to me like, ‘I’m already dating somebody.'”

However, their recollections soon diverged. Kristin, who ended her relationship with Mark Estes in September suggested she simply told him she was over dating. But Bobby remembered it clearly. 

“No you said, ‘I literally started seeing somebody!’” he said. “And I said, ‘I just want to go to dinner with you.’”

And after seeing Bobby’s response, the Laguna Beach alum knew she slipped up, joking, “It was like foot in mouth.”

She added, “There’s a fair argument that I shouldn’t just assume that you wanted to take me on a date."

Eventually, Bobby and Kristin did go to dinner, with the 37-old—who shares three kids with ex Jay Cutler—noting that they “had the best time.”

However, since the awkward DM exchange, Kristin’s relationship status has changed as she admitted that her and Mark’s 13-year age difference played a part in the pair going their separate ways. 

“I broke up with Mark because I just know long term it’s not right,” Kristin shared on the Oct. 1 episode of her podcast. “It’s not because of love lost or something bad happened, no one cheated, no one was mean. No one did anything. Those breakups are always the hardest, I think.”

Still she praised the Montana Boyz member, 24, calling him “the best boyfriend I’ve ever had.”
