“I’m going to put it in perspective for you,” she said at the time. “I am 1.75 meters tall”. I currently weigh 114 pounds. When I was filming “Very Cavallari,” I got down to 102 and ate the same amount of food that I eat now. The difference was that I was so unhappy and so stressed.

“I was skin and bones,” she added. “I think I look a lot better now. And guys, that was just stress. It was a really unhappy marriage, to be honest. I mean, literally. I was so unhappy.”

When she announced her split from Cutler in 2020, Cavallari described it as “just a situation of two people growing apart.”

“It is with great sadness that after ten years together we have come to the loving decision to divorce,” she said. “We have nothing but love and respect for each other and are deeply grateful for the years we have shared, the memories we have made and the children we are so proud of.”

During Tuesday's portion of the podcast, which was recorded before Cutler's arrest, Cavallari discussed the topic of breakups and reflected on how she was “heartbroken” when her marriage ended.

“Even though I was the one who left, it wasn’t what I wanted,” she said. “It wasn't what I imagined. And I really tried (expletive) everything I could. It's just heartbreaking when you want something so bad but you just can't achieve it. I would say my heart was broken for years.”

Cavallari also recalled that she had been “clenching her jaw” for so many months before the divorce and “as soon as I got out, it stopped.”

But she told listeners that she and Cutler are now in the “best place we've ever been,” adding, “It's been four and a half years, and it's taken four years, but things are going really well for us.” now. … If I tell you that Jay and I can get there, anyone can get there.
