The ‘big deal’ sports star Kristin Cavallari went on date with revealed one month after podcast tease

Reality television personality and entrepreneur Kristin Cavallari recently created a buzz on her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, teasing details about a date with a “big deal” sports star. After a month of speculation, the identity of the individual has now been revealed as Will Hardy, the head coach for the Utah Jazz.

The Podcast Tease and Anticipation

Kristin Cavallari first hinted at her new dating experience during an October episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest.” She shared with listeners that she had expressed a desire to the universe to go on a date, and soon after, her agent arranged a meeting with a sports coach. This setup was notably ironic, as “Millionaire Matchmaker” star Patti Stanger had previously advised Cavallari to consider dating coaches on her podcast.

Cavallari described the mystery man as “a big deal,” noting that he is also represented by CAA, the same agency representing her. She mentioned that he flew to Nashville specifically for their dinner date, and she found him to be a “great guy” during their conversation.

Will Hardy: The Sports Star Revealed

The sports figure in question has been identified as Will Hardy, the 37-year-old head coach of the Utah Jazz. Sources confirmed that Hardy traveled to Nashville to meet with the 38-year-old “Laguna Beach” alum “many months ago.”

Despite the initial excitement and positive remarks from Cavallari about the date, an insider clarified that the encounter was brief. “It was one date and that was it,” the source stated, adding that Cavallari “never saw him again.”

Kristin Cavallari’s Perspective: Why “It Just Wasn’t Right”

During her podcast, Cavallari elaborated on her decision not to pursue a second date, explaining a personal intuition guiding her dating choices. “I know after the first date if I’m going to like someone or not,” she explained. Even though she found Hardy to be a good conversationalist and attempted to consider another meeting, she felt an internal resistance.

“Everything in me was telling me not to,” Cavallari recalled, emphasizing that when she feels “out of alignment for what is meant for me, everything in my body screams at me.” She reiterated that while he was a “such a good guy” and she enjoyed their interaction, “it just wasn’t right.”

Cavallari’s History with Athletes and Hardy’s Marital Status

Kristin Cavallari has a notable history of dating athletes. She was famously married to former NFL player Jay Cutler, 42, from 2013 to 2022. The former MTV star and Cutler share three children: Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 9.

In contrast, reports indicate that Will Hardy has been married to Spencer Ladd Hardy since 2015, and they have two daughters together. The current status of their marital relationship remains unclear.

Conclusion

The highly anticipated reveal of Kristin Cavallari’s “big deal” sports star date has brought Will Hardy, the Utah Jazz head coach, into the spotlight. While the date itself was reportedly a one-time occurrence due to Cavallari’s personal feelings, the episode offers a glimpse into her discerning approach to dating and her commitment to trusting her intuition in matters of the heart.
