Kristin Cavallari’s new boyfriend, Mark Estes, admitted he was nervous before their first date.
The 24-year-old athlete spoke with Page six and revealed, “I think, as with any first date, I was definitely a little nervous.”
Despite the nerves, he and the former MTV star, 37, had a ‘great time’ and a secure connection.
Estes added: “But yeah, it was great, and yeah, I would say there was instant chemistry right away.”
The jewelry designer confirmed their relationship in late February with an Instagram photo.
Kristin Cavallari’s New Boyfriend Mark Estes Admitted He Was Nervous Before Their First Date
The 24-year-old athlete spoke to Page Six and revealed, “I think, as with any first date, I was definitely a little nervous.”
Gushing about his lady, Mark said: “She’s very confident.”
‘Obviously she is beautiful. She is also an amazing person and a great mother. So, yeah, pretty much (the) complete package.”
Joining him in the chat with the outlet were his Montana Boyz bandmates Kaleb Winterburn and Kade ‘Cutter’ Wilcox, with whom he found fame on social media.
Winterburn said he witnessed the connection between Estes and Cavallari when they met in person for the first time in Nashville, Tennessee, in January.
“Being with her at first I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is crazy.’ She’s super cool in person,” he recalled.
Cavallari was previously married to former NFL star Jay Cutler and the former couple shares Camden, 11, Jaxon, nine, and Saylor, eight.
The new couple first connected on Instagram last fall. It came after the former Laguna Beach star found Montana Boyz’s TikTok account.
Mark sent Kristin a DM from the boys’ joint account that said, “I love you.”

Winterburn recalled how happy Mark was when she replied: ‘I was just excited.
‘He mustered up the courage to do it and then did it on the wrong account (instead of his personal one). Then she saw him and he was pretty excited the next day.
Online critics were quick to point out Cavallari and Estes’ 13-year age difference since they went public with their romance in February.
‘You definitely have to block it out, just have tunnel vision; “We have a vision of where we’re going and what we want to do in the future,” Estes said of how he’s dealing with the backlash.
“So we don’t let this get in our way,” he explained.
