**Nashville, TN** – Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari has revealed the identity of her recent mystery man: former NHL player Nate Thompson. In an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest,” Cavallari confirmed the relationship, describing it as “the most honest, pure, amazing relationship I’ve ever had,” despite its short duration and long-distance challenges.

The pair, who connected on a “deep level,” dated while Thompson resided in Los Angeles and Cavallari remained in Nashville. Cavallari explained that the relationship ended before her recent podcast tour, citing time constraints due to her responsibilities as a mother of three and a desire to avoid distractions during the tour. While she expressed attraction and enjoyment of the time spent together, she clarified that she wasn’t looking for a committed relationship at this point in her life. “I just didn’t wanna be in a relationship,” she stated.

The revelation came after weeks of speculation following Cavallari’s initial hints on another podcast. She admitted that some fans had already pieced together the identity of her “retired athlete” boyfriend via social media sleuthing.

This relationship follows Cavallari’s previous high-profile marriage to retired NFL player Jay Cutler, and a more recent connection with TikToker Mark Estes. Cavallari confirmed she is now choosing to focus her energy on her career and family, stating that she’s “done with dating” for the time being.
