She moved on with comedian Jeff Dye, who was arrested for DUI in front of her in October 2023.
The source continued: ‘She had a super messy divorce with Jay and a failed relationship after that, which was more of a rebound than anything else.
‘Jeff had a lot of skeletons and was an alcoholic. She’s glad he’s sober again, but he ended up horribly.
‘So far, she doesn’t know of any skeletons in Mark’s closet. She has done her research and so have her friends.
“She wouldn’t introduce him to her kids if she wasn’t thinking about him long-term.”

“I (direct messaged) Kristin and we said ‘I love you’ from the beginning,” Mark recalled, which Kristin noted had happened sometime in September or October 2023.
“I saw them on TikTok and thought who are the Montana Boyz,” he recalled. ‘Mark, specifically, I thought this guy is so hot, so I sent it to my best friend and said, “Look how hot this guy is.”

‘And then what do I do, because I’m not cold? I was like, “I want to put them on my podcast.” And then, long story short, I put them in touch with my assistant, who signed them up for the podcast and then told me they were moving here and then I was like, “What the fuck? This is crazy.” “.
