Kristin Cavallari’s Nashville Date with Coach Will Hardy Revealed

In an unexpected twist in her dating life, Kristin Cavallari went on a date earlier this year with Will Hardy, the head coach of the Utah Jazz. Reports confirm that Hardy, 37, traveled to Nashville to spend time with Cavallari, 38, but the meeting did not lead to a lasting romance. According to a source, “It was one date and that was it. She never saw him again.”

Cavallari, who has taken a break from dating this year to focus on her work and family, recently shared her experience during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest.” Reflecting on her foray back into the dating scene, she revealed that she expressed her readiness to date and soon received a call from her agent with a setup involving Hardy. “He flew to Nashville, took me to dinner, such a great guy,” she said.

Despite enjoying the dinner, Cavallari felt a disconnect. “I know after the first date if I’m going to like someone or not,” she explained. “When I’m out of alignment for what is meant for me, everything in my body screams at me.” Ultimately, she concluded that while Hardy was a good man, the connection was not right for her.

Cavallari’s Relationship Journey

Cavallari’s date with Hardy marks a moment in a broader journey of her romantic life. She had previously chosen to prioritize her career and family over dating, stating, “I was intentional about it… I didn’t want any distractions.” Last December, she mentioned being involved with a retired athlete, later revealing that it was former NHL player Nate Thompson. She described their relationship as “the most honest, pure, amazing relationship I’ve ever had,” emphasizing the deep connection they shared.

Despite the positive aspects, the long-distance nature of their relationship posed challenges, and the two parted ways earlier this year. Cavallari acknowledged that she did not wish to be in a committed relationship at that time. She continues to co-parent her three children—Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 9—with her ex-husband, former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, from whom she divorced in 2022.

Looking Ahead

While Cavallari’s dating life has not been a focal point in recent months, she expressed optimism about the future. “I don’t know the last time I talked about my dating life. Probably because my dating life was nonexistent this whole year until recently, and now it’s really picked back up,” she noted in her podcast.

In addition to navigating her personal life, Cavallari is preparing for a reunion of the popular reality show “Laguna Beach,” which is set to air next year. She recently traveled to Orange County, California, to film the special alongside former cast members such as Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti.

As she moves forward, Cavallari appears ready for whatever comes next in her romantic journey, maintaining a focus on her career and family while remaining open to new connections.
