Hills alum and author Kristin Cavallari is on the promotional trail for her new book Balancing in Heels: My Journey to Health, Happiness, and Making It All Work. She recently sat down with Steve Harvey, whom I can only assume is the Ellen DeGeneres for lower level celebrities, and the discussion turned to the part of her book that discussed how she and husband, Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler, engage in sexting when they are apart. I didn’t need to know that, but Steve Harvey did. When asked about the sexting, Kristin laughingly confessed, “Half the time, I’m doing other stuff. I’m doing my nails, I’m folding laundry, and then I’ll kind of do a little text.”
In the book, Kristin writes that she and Jay video chat and send each other sexy photos, asserting that you “Gotta do what you gotta do” to keep things exciting in the marriage. Kristin also discussed some other details of her previously rocky romance. Here are some highlights:
On postponing her marriage: We moved vey quickly: We got engaged after eight months, and then we actually broke up about two and a half, three months later. Called off the engagement. And then we got back together, and when we got back together, I kind of went through a little phase where I didn’t know if I wanted to get married. I think it was really more about my ego, I had one foot in and one foot out and that was ridiculous. And if we were gonna be together and really give it a shot, that wasn’t fair. So, I decided to grow up, I guess.
On going to marriage counseling with Jay: I think it’s important for people to know that there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship, you know? We work on it. It’s true. We love each other and we want to make it work, but I 100 percent credit our therapist for saving our relationship. We’ve come so far being in therapy both individually and together as a couple, that it’s been incredibly beneficial.
Kristin had previously talked about the benefits of therapy for her relationship and I guess it’s admirable that she’s so open about discussing it, trying to remove any perceived stigmas. But, in this day and age I would think a lot of couples go to counseling. I did. Didn’t help, but I tried. I’m not the audience for this book, but I guess a self-help memoir is the logical next step for former reality stars? Well, that and humblebrag pics on Instagram, like the one Kristin recently posted of her in a bikini getting ready to pump breast milk. Again, didn’t need to know that, but I’ll grudgingly admit that she can rock a bikini.

Do people actually buy these books? And if yes – WHY?
Poor trees!
She must have a great PR person. I don’t get it.
Nothing like an outdoor shot in a bikini to pump milk. I wish so hard to be married to a superstar winning QB. I wish desperately to be Kristen Cannelloni and be an alum of that groundbreaking show The Valley. Her advice is super important. Her book will never ever leave the Bestsellers list. I’m eaten up with jelly.
Lol, especially at “superstar winning” QB.
As for her advice, don’t forget her gems about not vaccinating. Grrr.
But Maggie, you don’t need to be jelly! For a mere $19.95 you can learn her secrets! How to brag about your body while pretending you’re just bragging about pumping milk! How to pretend you’re into sexting with qb hubby while doing your nails! Multitasking and deception in one simple step! Get on it!
lol at “Superstar Winning QB.” That’s a great joke you’ve got there!
I am a Bears fan and I got a good, hard laugh at “superstar winning quarterback”
Cannolleni hahahahaha dead. I’m dying. She’s actually from The OC!!!! She’s the arch enemy to the perfect LC.
Magnolia you filled my heart today, LOLOL
Aside: I don’t get how this girl parlayed being spicy oatmeal in a sea of oatmeal girls into landing someone in the NFL being a Celebsanctimommy and generally still getting press
Yeah, but who exactly is her target audience? She tries so hard to keep herself relevant.
I find her irritating and fake humble. I also think the concept of Balancing in My Heels is very dated. Are we still trying to pretend that we can be perfect, have it all, or have to fill every second with activity to be posted on Instagram or be beautiful in high heels while having this busy busy busy life? Yawn. And I’m a believer in marriage counseling, but did they just seem doomed.
They do seem doomed, like they are together for none of the right reasons.
….and you haven’t even seen The Hills, right?
She’s incredibly annoying and since I have (shamefully) seen The Hills, I’m forever cursed to read every quote from her in her incredibly-grating voice. She seriously has the most irritating voice and cadence.
Team LC yo!
Since she’s not relevant enough to have her sexts hacked, she’s just going to put it out there herself and hope some one bites?
Let’s just not head down the road of lifestyle guru. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t her husband kind of a jerk, allegedly….
Her husband is a big jerk and his teammates don’t like him/question his leadership skills. He’s a poor man’s Tony Romo.
From personal experience, Jay is a total ass.
Jay sucks. I am a Bears fan and I am so pissed that we are stuck with such an ass for a quarterback.
He’s a douche but douche is her type so…
they broke up and got back together because she found out she was pregnant…but tell whatever tale helps you sleep at night
Yeah, and I thought he was the one who broke up with her.
So who took the photo of Kristin in the bikini? I wonder if years from now if people will ever regret some of the bizarre photos they post on social media.
She’s a Kardashian lite, but in her case nobody cares. For these type of people, there is no such thing as tmi. If she wanted good pr, she’d get her kids immunized. By the way, she has such an oversized cranium, tmi?
Gosh she’s holding on to her 15 minutes of fame so tightly, she’s getting rope burns!!!!
Gawker has got their 500 days of Kristin which is pretty funny to read the comments. I was kind of amazed Celebitchy covered her.
I can’t imagine who would buy that book or want to emulate her “busy life” or her marriage to that jerkwad Cutler.
I hope on her “Journey to Health, Happiness, and Making it All Work” she doesn’t meet her fellow travelers Measles, Mumps, Diptheria, Polio or Pertussis!
Funniest thing I’ve read today. Dying at this comment!
Bam!
Actually she’d probably be fine, her parents got her vaccinated. It’s her poor kids who would suffer.
I’m so pissed that she had to bring up “sex” and “Jay Cutler” because that combination seriously horrifies me.
I think you should blame Steve Harvey for that! 🙂
She reminds me of a little old lady and her husband has a face I would love to smack
I haven’t watched her since Laguna Beach! ‘Cause perfect…didn’t feel so perfect….
Trying to fit a square into a circle was her life!
hahaha
Admittedly I kind of liked Kristin on Laguna Beach as she served as a counterpoint to perfect rich girl Lauren Conrad… Kristin was portrayed as more down to earth than LC and drove a car that was always breaking down. But since then- can’t stand her.
Her name is TMI for me.
Well, she’d better hope his texts to her aren’t intercepted.
Absolutely TMI, but that picture of her in a bikini about to pump is far worse. I feel like losing my breakfast.
This woman is so thirsty that she’s making *me* parched. Anything to get attention, I guess.
I love and work in Chicago. I am a bartender
here and I can say that without a doubt they
are the worst people I’ve ever served. She is
an airhead and her husband Jay is a douche.
I can wait for his contract is up and they leave
Chicago!
