Kristin Cavallari Names Secret Professional Athlete Ex-Boyfriend

The Hills alum Kristin Cavallari’s life, especially her romance history, has constantly made headlines. From her social media-heavy relationship with TikTok star Mark Estes to her alleged fling with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover, her love life is out in the open.

Since her split from Mark, Kristin hasn’t been spotted with anyone new. So if she was dating again, she managed to keep out of the public eye. Well, until now.

Nate Thompson was Kristin Cavallari’s secret pro-athlete boyfriend

Kristin recently did another episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast. During the discussion, she unexpectedly shared that she just got out of a relationship.

She even name-dropped him, revealing that she was dating former NHL player Nate Thompson. He retired from hockey after almost 20 years in 2023 and is a father of two.

It’s unclear when they started seeing each other, but according to Kristin, the romance ended before or around March 2025.

The reality TV star said nothing but great things about him and made it clear that she was the one who ended things.

“It wasn’t like we didn’t have fun, and I was attracted to him. Like, all the pieces were there … I just didn’t wanna be in a relationship,” she shared in the April 1 episode.

The Hills icon got vulnerable during the conversation and explained how being a mother has affected her love life.

“It’s f*cking complicated, alright, with having my kids most of the time. It’s not like it was a couple years ago, which is fine. Again, this is not the phase of my life where I don’t even wanna be dating that much anymore.”

Nate hasn’t publicly commented on their relationship just yet. 

The Hills is available to stream on Paramount+.
