Kristin Cavallari Sparks Blowup with BFF Justin Over Dating Woes
Alright, cutting to the chase: Kristin Cavallari and her longtime confidant Justin Anderson hit a devastating snag when her love life became dinner conversation—and not in a good way. In an exclusive sneak peek at the June 18 episode of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour on E!, the 38-year-old reality star finds herself “f–king exhausted” after a whirlwind 24 hours starring her Let’s Be Honest podcast live shows in Chicago with former Laguna Beach costar Talan Torriero and an unexpected reunion with ex Johnny.
Over a tense meal, Kristin’s frustration boils over. “The last 24 hours, between Talan and Johnny, I’ve been through it with men,” she concedes in a confessional. When Justin attempts to sympathize—inquiring whether she’s ever met a guy who felt “amazing”— Kristin cuts him off: “No! I haven’t met him yet. It is really f–king hard now because I’m not going for toxic anymore. Do you see what I’m saying?”
Her barbs continue as she vents, “Where are those strong, successful, awesome f–king guys?!” Justin counters gently, suggesting “sometimes the good, sweet ones that you don’t even expect are waiting there,” but Kristin isn’t placated. “Well, that makes me feel s—ty too,” she snaps, reminding him she finalized her divorce from ex–NFL star Jay Cutler in 2022 and is juggling motherhood to three.
The pair’s back-and-forth crescendos until Kristin slams her fork down: “I can’t have this conversation anymore. I can’t. Anyways, check!” Cue the dramatic exit. Viewers can catch the fallout when the series airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. on E!.
To understand Kristin’s current crossroads, rewind to her MTV breakout on Laguna Beach, where viewers followed her rollercoaster romance with Stephen Colletti. In her 2016 memoir Balancing in Heels, Kristin reflected on their teenage love triangle with Lauren Conrad: “We loved hard and fought hard. … There was nothing I cared about more.” Though their relationship ended after high school, Kristin and Stephen have since patched things up and even teased a potential cameo on Very Cavallari.
Meanwhile, Talan Torriero spilled to E! News in 2022 that Laguna Beach’s love polygons extended beyond the LC–Stephen–Kristin saga. “There were so many other storylines… hookups, if you will,” he admitted, noting several romances that never made the final cut. He also confirmed that his own on-off fling with Kristin spanned junior and senior year.
By season 2’s premiere, Stephen was blindsided when Kristin—fresh off his departure for college—showed up dating another classmate, Matt. That chapter closed, and now Kristin is determined to find “the one” who checks every box without the toxicity.
And there you have it. Consider that your primer on how friendship and fury collide when love is on the line. What’s next for Kristin’s quest? Stay tuned: this saga is far from over.
