This is her stunning transformation from drama-hogging Laguna Beach party girl to well-established Nashville business owner.
According toYahoo!, Cavallari was actually born in Denver, Colorado.
She spent many of her formative years worlds away from the warm climes of Laguna Beach.
“Moving back to Chicago wasn’t a shock for me because I had experienced it before.
But… it was still an adjustment,” she explained of her lack of winter clothes.
News, Cavallari’s father also revealed how eager she was to be on reality TV.
he asked on a Season 2 episode of his daughter’s showVery Cavallari.
AlthoughLaguna Beachwas a mega-hit, Cavallari’s father was puzzled by its appeal.
Kristin understood the show’s popularity, but she was upset about her portrayal.
“No one ever told me like, ‘Hey!
By the way, you’re the villain.
…I was so young, I mean, I was 17, 18.
When pressed about whether she could ever bring herself to watch it, Cavallari was definitive.
I do not watch the show.
…I was onAccess Hollywoodthis morning and they showed a clip.
I was like, ‘OH MY GOD.’
I hate it,” she said.
I was just going about my life and doing what producers were asking me to do.
When I saw the first season, I was devastated."
In an interview withHuffPost,Laguna Beachproducer Gary Auerbach maintained the two really couldn’t stand each other.
They worked through it, but couldn’t fix everything.
We talked about everything the entire time.
…But that still didn’t make it easy.
In 2009, after Lauren Conrad vacatedThe Hills, Cavallari rose to the occasion and happily took her place.
So it was really fun for me.
I took control and I had a good experience doing it."
Likewise, Cavallari knew how she was going to be portrayed and acted (up) accordingly.
In an interview withMomtastic, she explained the difference between starring on the two shows.
And when I joinedThe Hills… we filmed three different scenes, three days a week.
I had my life on-camera and a completely different life off-camera.
I knew the character they wanted me to play, and this time I was game.
…It was fun to play up the villain," she explained.
So I’m gonna take that road and say maybe it’s true.
They got married in June 2013, less than a year after welcoming their eldest son, Camden Jack.
“Relationships are hard work, especially with kids.
…He’s seen little bits and pieces but never a full episode.”
Speaking toToday, Cavallari explained how motherhood completely changed her for the better.
This is where I’m the happiest.
I felt like I really came into my own when I became a mom.
My entire world changed," she gushed.
…It’s pretty marvelous that our bodies are able to do that."
In 2017, she launched her own jewelry company, Uncommon James.
“I’ve loved being in the accessories world since I think they make or break your outfit.
She wants fashion to be easy; throw these pieces on and never take them off.”
Speaking to area publicationThe Tennessean, Cavallari noted the city has deeper meaning for her and Jay Cutler.
“The first weekend [we] ever really hung out we actually came to Nashville.
It was only 24 hours but I completely fell in love.
Snow days for me were part of my childhood, and I love that my kids are experiencing that.
It’s just a different way of growing up.”
Still, Uncommon James is her baby, and nowhere is Cavallari’s passion more evident.
We’re all learning and growing.
Still, Cavallari knows what’s right for her business life, as much as her personal life.
“I find I have to do what’s best for my company.
I can’t do it by myself.
…I’m not doing this just to hang out.
I’m really trying to build a huge brand,” she explained.
I had a lot of growing up to do").
It’s only now that Cavallari truly feels like herself.
This is me; there’s no sugarcoating who I am."
However, in spite of her newfound self-assurance, Cavallari doesn’t haveeverythingfigured out just yet.
