Kristin Cavallari’s son Camden celebrated his 12th birthday and his first-ever game as the starting quarterback for his youth soccer team this week. And Cavallari, 37, highlighted her son’s milestones with a post she shared to her Instagram Story on Thursday.
Jay played his high school years at Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, Indiana, as the starting QB for three years. He compiled a combined record of 26-1 during his junior and senior years, including a perfect 15-0 season as a senior.
He then played four years of college basketball at Vanderbilt (2001–2005), where he was ultimately selected by the Denver Broncos with the 11th pick in the 2006 NFL draft.
Cutler was 6’1″ and 225 pounds, and was clearly capable of playing the position. His tenure with Denver would last only three seasons, but then he was traded to the Chicago Bears. He was given a two-year, $30 million contract extension.
Cutler always seemed to be the lightning rod responsible for much of the praise the team received, but even more so for the mistakes he made and many of the losses the team suffered along the way.
He ended up playing eight years for Chicago, his favorite team growing up, and one more season for the Miami Dolphins before ending his career without winning a single Super Bowl.
The former couple started dating in 2010 and got engaged about eight months later.
They eventually got married in June 2013, and their family tripled in size, with Cam adding his brother Jaxon, nine, and his sister Saylor, eight.
After living in Chicago for many years because of his time with the Bears, they eventually moved to Franklin, Tennessee, which is just over 20 miles from Nashville.

As a sign of his admiration for his father, Cam proudly wore his father’s number 6 Dolphins jersey, marking his first year in Miami for the 2017 season
The couple, who were married for about nine years, separated in 2020 and finalized their divorce in 2022; they are seen in December 2019
In April 2020, the couple announced in a joint statement on social media that they were separating “with great sadness.”
After their divorce was final in 2022, the former couple decided to remain in the Franklin area to help raise their children together.
The Very Cavallari star has been candid about her divorce in recent years, even revealing that their separation was “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” [she’s] ever done.’
“It was just time,” she said in 2023 on the podcast Call Her Daddy, referring to their decision to split.
The Uncommon James founder claimed during a chat on the podcast that “nothing special happened.”
“Ultimately, it was just time. It’s the scariest thing. It’s always the saddest thing. I mean, it’s so many emotions, but it can also be the best thing.”
