Kristin Cavallari is once again making headlines for her high-profile dating life, this time stepping off the gridiron and onto the ice. Reality TV star and lifestyle entrepreneur Kristin Cavallari has reportedly started dating former NHL forward Nate Thompson, adding another athlete to her growing list of sports-world connections.
Sources close to the matter confirm Cavallari and Thompson have recently spent time together, sparking speculation about a budding romance. Thompson, 39, played 844 games over 15 NHL seasons with teams including the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Philadelphia Flyers. Known for his gritty play and veteran leadership, he retired in 2022.

Cavallari’s history with athletes is well-documented. She dated former USC quarterback Matt Leinart during his college heyday before settling into a high-profile marriage with ex-NFL quarterback Jay Cutler.

In 2023, Cavallari made waves with her relationship with 24-year-old Mark Estes, a former Montana Tech wide receiver. The couple’s brief but intense fling played out across social media and podcast appearances. “He’s the kind of guy you just want to rip your f**king clothes off,” Cavallari said on her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, signaling the chemistry between the two.
