Kristin Cavallari, known for her role on “Laguna Beach” and as the founder of Uncommon James, recently revealed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that she made the decision to cut ties with her father, Dennis Cavallari, and she stands by it as the best decision she has ever made. The 38-year-old mother of three explained that she reached this conclusion after her father crossed a boundary involving her children, and she has felt a sense of relief ever since. Despite the potential controversy of her choice, Cavallari confidently stated, “There’s not one day where I miss him.”

Cavallari shared that the weight of the decision being lifted off her shoulders has been significant, indicating that this was a long time coming. She emphasised that the incident that led to her decision occurred a few years ago when she was in her mid-thirties, after three and a half decades of build-up. The reality star, who shares three children with her ex-husband Jay Cutler, did not delve into specifics about what transpired between her father and her kids but made it clear that she stands by her choice.
Discussing the incident further, Cavallari expressed that her father’s actions overstepped a boundary that deeply affected her, and his failure to offer an apology only solidified her decision. She highlighted that her priority is to surround herself with joy and positivity, and if someone, even a parent, brings negativity, it is not worth the emotional toll. Cavallari’s journey to greater self-awareness and self-love led her to this decision, and she has embraced the peace and happiness she has cultivated.
In a candid moment during a podcast appearance last December, Cavallari opened up about her father being a narcissist and the challenging relationship she had with him, which led her to seek solace through other means during her youth. She acknowledged that her connection with her partner filled a void that existed in her home life. The reality star shared that the past five years have been transformative for her, as she confronted her father and navigated through a divorce, both experiences contributing to her personal growth.
Looking ahead, Cavallari is set to make a return to reality TV with her upcoming show, “Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,” premiering on E! on June 4th at 10 p.m. ET. This marks her first foray back into the reality TV world in five years, and fans can anticipate more insights into her journey of self-discovery and empowerment. With a newfound sense of self-love and a commitment to prioritising her well-being, Cavallari’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of setting boundaries and prioritising one’s mental and emotional health.
