With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.

Cavallari and Cutler tied the knot in 2013 and had a reality show surrounding their relationship, “Very Cavallari.” In early April, their family returned to Nashville after “quarantining” in the Bahamas for three weeks prior.

Tennessee entered the “stay-at-home order” while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas, which is supposed to be lifted on April 30. The couple will be social distancing together until the order is lifted leaving people to speculate what will change when they’re officially divorced.
