It's clear that reality TV has been very good to Kristin Cavallari, considering that it launched her career when she was just in high school. Cavallari skyrocketed to fame on the MTV hit "Laguna Beach" and later solidified her star status by taking over for Lauren Conrad on its popular spinoff "The Hills." Yet, after that, Cavallari stepped away from reality TV for almost a decade to pursue other endeavors and to start her family. By 2018 though, Cavallari decided to put her life back in front of the cameras again for the E! show "Very Cavallari."

While one might think she returned to reality TV simply because she missed it, there was more behind her decision. "I wanted to bring exposure to my company [Uncommon James]. That's really why I did it," Cavallari explained to E! News. For the first time though, Cavallari was finally calling the shots on a show as an executive producer. She told the Daily Beast, "This is the first show that I can really get behind and say this is in fact me." The series not only featured her then-husband, Jay Cutler, but some of her friends and members of the Uncommon James team. 

In 2020, Cavallari pulled the plug on the show after just three seasons. Here's what the cast of "Very Cavallari" has been up to since. 

Kristin Cavallari went into the kitchen and back to the beach

Just because "Very Cavallari" ended in 2020 doesn't mean that Kristin Cavallari's career slowed down. In fact, it seems the show did as she hoped and brought attention to her business. Uncommon James has since expanded from jewelry to home goods and children's clothing, as well as to a skincare line called Uncommon Beauty. Cavallari reflected on its success in 2022, telling Forbes, "This is the thing that I'm most proud of professionally. Because I'm 100% owner."

Cavallari hasn't just been busy with Uncommon James though since she released her third cookbook, "Truly Simple," in the spring of 2023. It's something she also seems to be very proud of because it reflects how much she's changed in recent years. She explained to The Hollywood Reporter, "I've let go of perfectionism and trying to do it all. ... And it shows through my cooking."

What's more, Cavallari returned to her reality TV roots. In 2022 she joined her former MTV co-star (and high school boyfriend) Stephen Colletti to host the "Laguna Beach" rewatch podcast "Back to the Beach." "It's come full circle — it's what got me here in the first place, and now to go back and do it, it's been way more fun than I ever thought it would be," Cavallari told Grazia. She even went on to merge her two worlds by getting some of her "Laguna Beach" co-stars to star in an ad for Uncommon James.

Kristin Cavallari is now single and dating again

It's clear that Kristin Cavallari has continued to thrive professionally after "Very Cavallari" came to an end. Yet, the biggest change for her seemed to be in her personal life: In 2020, she and Jay Cutler announced their decision to divorce. This seemingly played a big part in why Cavallari decided she was done with the show. ET, "I didn't want to talk about my divorce on camera and have to expose that." 

That said, Cavallari has talked about her split in interviews. The reality TV veteran made waves when she called her former relationship "toxic" on an episode of "Call Her Daddy," and on "The School of Greatness" podcast, she shared, "[The divorce has] been the best thing that I've ever done." She also told host Lewis Howes that she's embraced this life chapter. "That has really jumpstarted my journey on self-love and figuring out who I am now," she said. The mom-of-three started dating again too. 

The former "Hills" star has seemingly kept things pretty casual so far, though Cavallari's dating history continues to make headlines. Since her divorce, she has been linked to comedian Jeff Dye, country star Chase Rice, TikToker Mark Estes, actor Glen Powell, and hockey player Nate Thompson. 

Kristin Cavallari got back into reality TV in 2025

In September 2023, Kristin Cavallari dove even further into the podcast world with the launch of "Let's Be Honest With Kristin Cavallari." The pod tackles everything from lifestyle tips to dating advice, and it also provides juicy insights into Cavallari's personal life. Despite her years-long absence from reality TV, Cavallari's podcasting exploits proved that she's still a hot commodity: As of August 2025, "Let's Be Honest" boasts more than 65,000 followers on YouTube.

In late 2024, Cavallari announced that she'd be heading out on a live tour of "Let's Be Honest." However, that wasn't the only exciting news she had to share. In addition to taking her podcast on the road, the tour also became the subject of a six-episode docuseries called "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour," which aired on E! in summer 2025. 

Speaking with People, Cavallari stated that she never wanted to film another reality show — that is, until E! approached her with an offer she couldn't refuse. "This worked out really well for me because I was already going on a podcast tour, and so I just thought, if cameras want to come along, I'm already doing it." Cavallari also revealed that unlike her previous reality TV stints, "Honestly Cavallari" was totally unscripted. "[It's] the only show that I've done where I can say it was 100% authentic," the reality star shared. "It was real. It was the most real show I've ever done, and that was a really enjoyable experience."

Jay Cutler found love again and started a business

The year before "Very Cavallari" premiered, quarterback Jay Cutler made a major life change when he retired from the NFL. And after "Very Cavallari" ended, his life was drastically altered again when he and Kristin Cavallari split. Following his divorce, the former NFL player dove back into the dating pool. Jay Cutler was romantically linked to "Southern Charm" star Madison LeCroy and to Kelley Flanagan of "The Bachelor" fame. He also churned up some drama when he went on a date with Cavallari's friend, actor Jana Kramer. Reportedly, the date put an end to Kristin Cavallari's friendship with Kramer. Despite having been in several relationships, Cutler has said that his dating life hasn't always been a bed of roses. "It's hard as hell really. Meeting people is hard," the football star shared on an episode of his podcast, "Uncut with Jay Cutler." 

In 2023, Cutler went public with his new girlfriend, Samantha Robertson. Speaking with Life&Style, a source reportedly stated that Cutler and Robertson were "close friends" before their relationship developed into something deeper. In November 2024, the couple sparked engagement rumors when they attended the "Yellowstone" premiere in New York City, Robertson sporting a gigantic diamond on her left ring finger. People later spoke with sources who confirmed that Cutler had indeed put a ring on it. 

Cutler has also started a new career since his time on "Very Cavallari." In 2022, the former reality star founded a beer company called Gratis Brewing.

Justin Anderson is still besties with Kristin Cavallari

Justin Anderson became a major player on "Very Cavallari" in the final season. Before the show, Anderson was already an established hairstylist thanks to his many celebrity clients and haircare brand, dpHUE. When it came to his work, he once told Art of Being Female, "I love giving my clients an extra boost of confidence with a fresh new do."

Anderson first knew Kristin Cavallari as a client, but the two struck up a real-deal friendship; Cavallari once said of their bond on Instagram, "Longest relationship of my life." What's more, they even launched a collection together for dpHUE. "Very Cavallari" viewers also know that Anderson and his fiancé, Austin "Scoot" Rhodes, moved from Los Angeles to be near where Cavallari lives in Nashville. Since then, Anderson has posted about them not only all hanging out in Music City, but going on adventures together all over the world from Nantucket to Sweden.

While Anderson shared a lot of his personal life on "Very Cavallari," he also dropped a huge bombshell after the show ended. He revealed on the "Scissoring Isn't a Thing" podcast that at just age 18, he had a son with his high school girlfriend, who they then put up for adoption. Years later, Anderson reconnected with his son on Instagram. "I get a direct message from my son," Anderson said. "My family, his family, we all meet up for dinner."

Austin 'Scoot' Rhodes got married to Justin Anderson

Austin "Scoot" Rhodes may be best known on "Very Cavallari" for being Justin Anderson's boyfriend, yet he was actually an internet star long before the show. In 2015, he and his twin brother went viral for coming out to their father on YouTube. "Our hope is that experiences like ours will help men out there realize that in many cases their fathers will be just as supportive," the twins later told Gay Times.

Rhodes had already been dating Anderson for several years when their relationship was highlighted on Season 3 of "Very Cavallari." But it chronicled their move to Nashville as well as how they overcame problems and became much more serious. Anderson even proposed to Rhodes on the series finale but kept it low-key in spite of the cameras. "[I] cooked him his favorite meal and we ate dinner at our favorite cozy place in the house by the fire in Nashville," Anderson recalled to E! News.

The reality stars said "I do" in December 2024 during a small ceremony in Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Anderson shared the news on Instagram alongside a timelapse video that showed the couple exchanging their wedding vows in a park. In the caption, Anderson explained that he had planned the wedding as a surprise for Rhodes. "December is our favorite month and Nantucket is our favorite spot," Anderson wrote. He added, "There were no fuss or frills, just the two of us promising to support and love each other until our dying day." 

Brittainy Taylor still works at Uncommon James and is enjoying mom life

Brittainy Taylor is one of the few "Very Cavallari" cast members who appears to still be working at Uncommon James. Taylor was depicted on the show as Kristin Cavallari's right-hand woman, serving as the Director of Operations and then the Director of IT. While she told the "Preston & Steve" show that she enjoyed being on reality TV, her main focus was the business. She explained, "Where I've advanced in the company has been my number one and always has been." 

Season 3 did cover a lot of Taylor's personal life though, including her break up from her longtime boyfriend, Jon Stone. Taylor made it clear she wasn't happy with Stone, and he suggested to Us Weekly that the show put a strain on their relationship. He also blasted her for quickly moving on with her next boyfriend, PJ Kellogg, saying, "Some of the decision-making is bewildering to me ... If you can't see the heartache coming from miles away."

Yet Taylor is still in a relationship with Kellogg and from the looks of her Instagram, they're very much in love. In 2022, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named River. Their second daughter, Lennon, was born in February 2025. These days, the former reality star is quite active on Instagram. Since having her children, her social media content has shifted towards all things motherhood and postpartum advice. She even launched a podcast called "Truth Moms," which premiered in late 2024.

Kelly Henderson took space from Kristin Cavallari but styles other celebrities

Kelly Henderson had a pretty big storyline on "Very Cavallari." The reality show depicted her close friendship with Kristin Cavallari... and then their subsequent falling-out. That drama seemingly started over rumors that Henderson had an affair with Cavallari's then-husband Jay Cutler. While Cavallari didn't believe the gossip, she apparently didn't like how Henderson handled the situation and felt that Henderson had used her for fame. The two women were then never able to repair their friendship even with the show and Cavallari's marriage ending. 

Cavallari did later admit to ET, "The situation I had with my really good friend on 'Very Cavallari' got really blown out of proportion." However, Henderson made it clear on the "All's Fair" podcast that she wasn't interested in making contact with Cavallari or Cutler. "I've kind of gotten some space from both of them," she said (via Us Weekly).

Henderson is still working with other celebrities as a stylist though. It's something she's always been passionate about, telling Nashville Lifestyle in 2021, "I was obsessed with how people could transform themselves." She has some big name clients too, including country star Dierks Bentley and TV personality Bobby Bones. Henderson also has a popular lifestyle website called Velvet's Edge, and a podcast with the same name. 

Shannon Ford Middleton is growing her career and her family

"Very Cavallari" cast member Shannon Ford Middleton isn't on great terms with Kristin Cavallari. That shouldn't come as a surprise — don't forget Cavallari fired her from Uncommon James during Season 2. What's more, Shannon told "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation" that producers originally assured her that she'd stay on the show regardless. Alas, Cavallari apparently put the foot down on that. "I think Kristin and I just had some personal beef. It extended past just being fired from the job," Shannon explained. 

And that was that for Shannon and her former boss. "I haven't spoken to her since the day I walked out of the office," Shannon said in 2021, adding that she even ignored a message Cavallari sent her regarding work. It also probably didn't help that Shannon was seen out with Cavallari's ex, Jay Cutler, after their split. (She clarified on "Not Skinny But Not Fat" that it was nothing more than a casual and friendly group hangout.)

These days, Shannon earns her living as a model, social media influencer, and standup comedian. She also hosts a hit podcast called "Probably A Podcast." In 2024, the ex-reality star married British fitness trainer James Middleton. Several months later, the pair announced that they were expecting their first child together. Despite all of the changes in her personal life, Shannon's career hasn't slowed down a bit. In February 2025, the mom-to-be headed out on a stand-up comedy tour called "Pray For Me." 

Reagan Agee Mason got married and had a baby

Reagan Agee was yet another Uncommon James employee who didn't make it to Season 3 on "Very Cavallari" because she was fired by Kristin Cavallari. Yet Agee later admitted on the "Mouthing Off" podcast that she only worked for the company after she joined the reality show cast, which is probably why her role as an "assistant" was so unclear. She explained, "I definitely didn't want to sell jewelry."

Unfortunately, like Shannon Ford, getting fired from Uncommon James meant that Agee was also kicked off the show. However, she revealed her firing had nothing to do with her actual work. It was apparently because she called Cavallari's then-husband, Jay Cutler, a "little b**ch" on the show. Agee didn't buy that reasoning though. "She had to come up with something to get rid of me," Agee said. "I was furious." Not surprisingly, Agee then had no problem putting Cavallari on blast, claiming she didn't like other people on the show stealing her spotlight.

Despite being burned by Cavallari, Reagan seems to have bounced back and is now living her best life. Following her exodus from "Very Cavallari," the reality star moved back to her home state of Alabama and got married to her partner, Cody Mason. In March 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Archer James. The proud mom paid tribute to her son on Instagram, writing, "These first few weeks have been a dream come true. We are so in love with this little boy." 

Colby Dee Monahan got married and reunited with Kristin Cavallari

Colby Dee Monahan (née Coskery) doesn't work at Uncommon James anymore, but unlike some of her co-stars, she left the company after "Very Cavallari" concluded. Colby was the Director of Customer Experience but, per her LinkedIn, left the company in October 2021 for a similar role at a different business. The reality star seems to regard her time on "Very Cavallari" fondly because it's how she met her husband, Cole Monahan. She even shared the clip of their meeting from the show on her Instagram, writing, "The day everything changed, ... The day I met the love of my life while filming a reality show."

After the show ended, Cole moved to Colorado for a job opportunity and Colby eventually joined him there. In April 2023, the couple started another new chapter when they moved to Macon, Georgia. Their wedding was held a few months later in Nashville. Cole said "I do" in a navy blue suit while Colby donned a stunning off-the-shoulder gown. On Instagram, Colby referred to her wedding day as "a dream come true."

In March 2025, Colby reconnected with Kristin Cavallari during a stop on Cavallari's "Let's Be Honest" tour. The ex-reality star shared a photo of herself smiling and embracing her former boss. "It was great seeing her and catching up," she gushed on Instagram. "It's crazy how one person can make such an impact on your life. I have some amazing friends and met my husband because I worked for her."

Jon Stone has other reality TV connections

Jon Stone and Brittainy Taylor's breakup was a big part of Season 3 of "Very Cavallari,” which seemed to be hard on the singer-songwriter/producer. "I will tell you the weird part is where the relationship blurred between reality and television," he told Us Weekly. "It was almost like we forgot that this is a show for entertainment purposes and on the network [E!] Entertainment." 

Stone doesn't seem to have a connection to anyone from "Very Cavallari" anymore, but he still has reality TV ties. In May 2023, he shared on Instagram that he was staying at "The Real Housewives of New York City" legend Jill Zarin's home, calling her "my friend." Weeks later, Stone worked with Ian Flanigan, who was a contestant on "The Voice." Stone wrote in a post, "Finally got a chance to connect at a festival we both were playing at, decided it would be in both our best interest to ... make some recorded music."

All in all, it seems that each member of the cast of "Very Cavallari" is doing well these days, whether or not they left Uncommon James or the series on bad terms. In fact, for many of them, the show helped pave the way for new relationships or career opportunities. And of course they're now able to look back at a special time in their lives by streaming old episodes just like the rest of us.
