Kristin Cavallariis making sure to put her children first.
In a clip from her podcastLet’s Be Honestposted onTikTok,theLaguna Beachalum, 36, revealed that she had to cut her dad out of her life a few years ago because he’d crossed a personal line with her.
“I cut my dad out of my life about two years ago, which has honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done,” Cavallari began. “I actually didn’t even realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult.”

Noting that she knew she didn’t want to be around him when she was younger, Cavallari added that he always made her feel like she “wasn’t good enough.”
“But then the flip side of that is, sometimes he would put me on this pedestal and talk me up. Now as an adult looking back, it was when it benefitted you and made you look good.”
However, the turning point came when her dad did something to her three kids — daughter Saylor, 8, sons Camden, 11, and Jaxon, 9, whom she shares with ex-husbandJay Cutler.
“How I got my dad out of my life was something happened with my kids and it crossed the line. And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m f—— done.’ And he blamed me for it, like threw everything back in my face,” she said.
“I was always like, I can take it. You know. I can take the abuse. I have my whole life. But it’s like when you start now messing with my kids, I’m not doing it.”
“Well, I would say no until they’re 18,” she said with a laugh. “Listen, if they want to pursue a career in entertainment when they’re 18, absolutely I will support it. But until they’re 18, I want them just to be kids.”
“It’s hard enough being in high school and doing everything that you’re doing as a kid, so just focus on that, and we’ll cross that bridge when it comes,” she added.
“No, we’re not doing that,” she insisted. “I don’t even put them on Instagram.”
“I just try to keep them kids as long as possible,” she added.
