Kristin Cavallari Says She Gave Jay Cutler "Half the Value" of Company

Where Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari Really Stand After Years-Long ‘Laguna Beach’ Feud

Kristin Cavallari is being honest about splitting assets with her ex-husband Jay Cutler.

The Let's Be Honest podcast host—whose divorce from Cutler was finalized two years after their 2020 split—detailed how she and the ex-NFL star's monetary assets were divided in their divorce, sharing that she had to give Cutler "half the value" of her company Uncommon James.

"What ultimately gave me the confidence to leave my marriage was the success of Uncommon James," she explained on the July 8 episode of the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. "That gave me the confidence to be like, 'I know what I'm doing,' which is interesting because if I didn't have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right?"

The Hills alum—who shares kids Camden, 13, Jaxon, 12, and Saylor, 10, with Cutler—noted that her successful jewelry and skincare line was a "really large asset" on her and her ex's balance sheet.

E! News has reached out to Cutler's team for comment but has yet to hear back.

And while she claimed she did not get "anything" in her divorce, she's "so happy" about it looking back.

"I don't get any money from my ex-husband," Cavallari shared with host Emma Grede. "I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else."

Although the Laguna Beach alum stressed that she was "really pissed at the time" about having to split the brand's value, she now only feels grateful.

"I'm so thankful, because for me, I've needed these things in my life to keep going," she said. "I have found that that is an instance where I was like, 'I'm going to fight harder.' Those little moments push me, and I actually come out the other side stronger."

Previously, the 39-year-old asserted in June 2025 that she has "never gotten a penny" from Cutler, while also shutting down speculation that Cutler funded Uncommon James, stating that she's a "100 percent owner."

Cutler, meanwhile, later denied his ex's claims, calling them "reckless" and "irresponsible."

"It's borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got," he said on an August episode of his Take It Outside podcast. "It's insanity and it’s completely false, completely untrue."
