Kristin Cavallari: I Weighed 102 Pounds Because Jay Cutler Made Me Miserable

How stressful is a miserable marriage? Reality star Kristin Cavallari revealed Tuesday that things got so bad during her marriage to Jay Cutler that she was down to 102 pounds and was "skin and bones." 

During a new edition of her "Let’s Be Honest" podcast, Cavallari claimed she was "skin and bones" while shooting the ‘Very Cavallari’ show. "And I was eating the same amount of food that I'm eating now," the mother of three told her audience. 

The former NFL quarterback and the reality star got married in 2013, but by 2020, things were over. They split that year and were officially divorced by 2022. 

"The difference was I was so unhappy and so stressed out. I look back at photos from that time period and I am like, ‘Holy s–t!’ I was rail f–king thin. I was skin and bones. I looked like s–t," she continued.

"I think I look so much better now. And you guys, that was just stress. That was being in a really unhappy marriage, quite honestly. Literally, I was so unhappy and I had way too much on my plate."

After accusing Cutler of "inappropriate marital conduct," divorce papers were filed. Jay "is guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper," her lawyers wrote in the filing. 

Look, it's not some new phenomenon that men and women lose weight from stress during divorces. In 2016, the New York Times talked to a relationship expert who said around 70% of the people going through a divorce or a horrible marriage nearing divorce will grow thin. "Then when they start feeling better, at least 50 percent of those people want to keep that weight off," Rachel Sussman told the Times.

There's even a name for this: Divorce Diet. 

There are multiple Reddit threads on the so-called diet that Cavallari ended up on.

Was the reality star experiencing something that normal humans don't experience? Not exactly, but she has a podcast to run, so the Divorce Diet becomes a topic. 

And if you're paying attention, she'll probably re-tell this story five years from now when she needs to spice up the podcast numbers. By then she might claim she was under 100 pounds.
