LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kristin Cavallari, who split with Jay Cutler in 2020, recently admitted to having a major "TV crush" on the Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

This comes after Kelce stated on his brother’s podcast that he had a major crush on the musical sensation Taylor Swift, and the 33-year-old Chiefs’ Tight Ender was even rumored to be getting cozy with the ‘Lover’ singer.

Kristin Cavallari has a 'TV crush' on Travis Kelce

Kristin Cavallari jokingly discussed her "love" for Travis Kelce when he appeared on her 'Let’s Be Honest' podcast. The reality star jokingly admitted to being "in love" with him after viewing him in the dating reality show 'Catching Kelce' when she was still married to Jay Cutler, as per TMZ.

During the podcast, the 'MTV Laguna Beach' star asked, "You've probably heard the term 'TV crush,' right?" to Kelce, before going on to explain, "Like, you know what a TV crush is? It's when you see someone on TV, you probably haven't met them yet but you just have this like little crush on them?"

She then boldly stated, "You were 100 percent my TV crush when this show was on," before adding, "I was in love with you."

Kelce, while amused, said pragmatically that most of the show was fictional, eliciting a comment from her, where Cavallari said jokingly, "You're ruining it for me now.”

Who is Kristin Cavallari dating now?

Kristin Cavallari is currently not dating anyone and is focused on being a mother "first and foremost." However, she is not averse to the idea of dating as 'The Hills' star wants to "meet someone organically."

In a June interview with E! News, Cavallari admitted, "It's really not important to me right now. It's just not with where I'm at in my life," referring to her dating life.

The 36-year-old star, who shares three children with Jay Cutler, Camden, ten, Jaxon, eight, and Saylor, seven, added, "I've had a lot of fun in the last few years, just really focusing on my friends and getting to hang out with my friends again, because I didn't get to do that for a long time."

"Really, when you're having little babies and three babies, essentially, at one point in time, that was my world. And so it's been nice to just have fun again," continued Cavallari.

Having said that, she has not given up on dating entirely but would want to meet someone away from dating apps.

She explained, "Anyone can be great on paper, and you gotta have that chemistry. I want to meet someone organically."

Why did Kristin Cavallari split from Jay Cutler?

Initially, Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler split up, citing it as a "situation of two people growing apart."

In a joint Instagram statement, 'The Hills' star and the Chicago Bears star wrote, "We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of," about the dissolution of their seven years of marriage.

They added, "This is just the situation of two people growing apart," as per PEOPLE Magazine.

However, two years later, during an appearance at the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, she admitted to being in an "unhappy" and "unhealthy relationship" with Cutler.

She shared, "I think with any relationship, you just have to realize what are deal-breakers for you, what's important to you and what's not," adding, "I was really unhappy and that was the bottom line, and I was in an unhealthy relationship. And so that, to me, is not worth it."

Talking about mutual self-respect, she expressed, "Also, I didn't want my kids thinking that that was normal. I wanted them to see me happy and see me eventually — not right now — but eventually, see me with someone who really respects me and treats me the way I need to be treated."
