Cutler was arrested and released after he posted $5,000 bail.

Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari filed for divorce in 2020
Cutler married The Hills and Very Cavallari star Kristin Cavallari in 2013. They have three children together. In April 2020, the pair announced they were splitting up.
It took two years for Cutler and Cavallari to finalize their divorce. The couple’s complicated financial situation was reportedly a major reason for the delay. In addition to Cutler’s football wealth, Cavallari has significant assets from her reality TV show career and her lifestyle business, Uncommon James.
“Everybody is cooperating to get everything finalized and valued,” a source told E! News. “Everything has been agreed on except the division of assets. Generally, in divorce cases, assets, including businesses are valued and then determined on how they are split.”
Cutler and Cavallari’s divorce was finalized in 2022.
In recent years, Cutler has launched a meat subscription called CUTS and a Nashville-based brewery, Gratis Beer. He’s also an owner of Outsider, an apparel and lifestyle brand.
