The series revolved around a rambunctious but close-knit group of teenagers who all lived in the same beach town. Cavallari’s ambitious and forward personality made her a fan-favorite amongst viewers everywhere.
Fortunately, when Laguna Beach came off the air, The Hills was there to save the day. Viewers were able to continue to follow Cavallari’s on MTV’s The Hills. Throughout the celebrity’s career, she explored acting and landed small roles on series like Veronica Mars. However, ultimately, Cavallari has proven that reality television is her forte.
Cavallari’s show Very Cavallari premiered in 2018, and after three seasons, due to personal reasons, the celebrity decided to end the show. Fortunately, Cavallari recently decided to join the cast for season 2 of The Hills: New Beginnings.
Kristin Cavallari’s personal life
Cavallari shocked many of her fans and followers when she announced she would be getting a divorce from Jay Cutler. Cavallari and Cutler, a former NFL player, first began dating in 2010. As CBS shared, the couple got married just a few years later in 2013.
Throughout their marriage, Cavallari and Cutler welcomed three children into their family: Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor. The news of the divorce came in April of 2020, and Cavallari has since been very honest about how difficult the process was. As she explained to E!, after much work and deliberation, the couple finally decided to split ways.
Cavallari’s divorce played a huge factor in her decision to bring her reality television show Very Cavallari to an end.

For years now Cavallari’s opinions and beliefs surrounding vaccinations have led to controversial stories and headlines. Cavallari and Cutler have made the decision not to vaccinate their children, and though she might not love doing it, Cavallari has explained herself.
Rolling Stone recapped her interview with Fox News when she spoke about her decision. As Cavallari put it, “I understand both sides of it. I’ve read too many books about autism and there’s some scary statistics out there. It’s our personal choice.”
While science has proven extensively that vaccines do not cause autism, according to the CDC, it appears that doesn’t concern the couple. Others who critique the anti-vax movement have also pointed out that autism is not a bad thing, and assuming it is the worst thing that could happen to a child is dangerous, as QZ reported. Though people and science might not agree with their choice, Cavallari and Cutler don’t seem to mind.
