Kristin Cavallari Dumped By Jay Cutler Over Control Issues

Update-Kristin Cavallari’s friends are speaking up about the abrupt break-up of her engagement to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.

Reportedly Jay called off the engagement to fiance Kristin Cavallari just days after their engagement party. Just ten months together, the couple announced their engagement in April after a vacation in Cabos San Lucas. Kristin arrived back to LA beaming with her engagement ring in tow. The couple had just set their wedding date for a 2012 summer wedding. On July 17th, Kristin tweeted her thanks to friends and family who made her engagement party a blast. And now less than two weeks later, a source reports to People that Kristin was dumped.

“She got dumped. She’s absolutely devastated. She can’t believe this is happening.”

“She was planning her dream wedding, the date was set, the location — everything was set,” the source says. “She’s in shock that the dream wedding she was planning is going to end this way.”

Now another source has revealed to People that Cutler’s controlling ways may have negatively impacted the relationship.

“Jay Cutler was beyond controlling and didn’t really like Kristin to go out,” the friend tells People. “When she did go out, he called all the time and demanded to know exactly where she was going and who she was with.”

The friend adds: “He made her choose between him and being friends with a lot of her girlfriends. I’m not surprised it didn’t last.”

This sounds a lot like the reason why Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony ended their seven year marriage – did Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari avoid landing in divorce court a few years from now?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
