A year ago in June, Kristin Cavallari claimed that she had “never gotten a penny” from her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. She clearly stated that she “didn’t get any money” from their divorce, “so let’s just clear that up.”
In August of 2025, Jay Cutler disputed his ex-wife’s claim.
“I mean, let’s think about this logically,” Cutler said. “‘Not a penny,’ Okay. Married for, I don’t know, seven years or so, three kids. You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It’s online. You can see the contract from year to year and the total amount at the end of 12 years. So, you go to divorce and each side gets a lawyer and then you go to court and there’s a judge.”
Cutler wasn’t done there. He also pointed out, “In the state of Tennessee, if we would have went to the judge and been like, ‘Hey, he’s going to keep every single dollar over the past seven years and you’re going to get nothing.’ There’s not a judge in the state of Tennessee that would have signed that. They would be like, ‘No, this isn’t right. This isn’t legal. Not happening.’ So, there’s that.”
Then, just to be crystal clear, he added, “Is her lawyer really going to be like, ‘Fine, you get zero dollars. He gets to keep all the money that was made over the seven years.’ Absolutely not. That’s completely false.”
On Tuesday, Kristin Cavallari doubled down on her claim that she didn’t get any money from Jay Cutler in their divorce during an appearance on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast.
“If didn’t have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right? But because I had this company, there was a really large asset on our balance sheet,” Cavallari said, referring to the company she says she founded without any financial assistance from Cutler.
“I didn’t get anything, which I’m so happy about now. But I don’t get any money from my ex-husband. I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else. Isn’t that interesting?
“I was really pissed at the time and now I’m so thankful because I think, for me, I’ve needed these things in my life to keep going. And I have found that that is an instance where I’m going to fight harder. Those little moments push me, and I come out the other side stronger.”
For what it is worth, Jay Cutler earned over $122 million over his NFL career. Kristin Cavallari reportedly has a net worth of around $30 million.
After the first time Kristin Cavallari claimed that she didn’t get “a penny” from Cutler in their divorce, Jay said, “It’s irresponsible. I think it’s reckless. I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got. It’s...
