Kristin Cavallari Spills: Kids Co-Sleeping with Mom One Night a Week
Kristin Cavallari Spills the Tea on Co-Sleeping with Her Kids and the Drama Filled Details of Her Births
The reality TV starlet Kristin Cavallari is known for dishing out the juicy gossip, and her latest episode of "Let's Be Honest" does not disappoint. The 38-year-old Laguna Beach alum opened up about co-sleeping with two of her three kids, revealing that her youngest children, Jaxon and Saylor, have been sleeping in her bed at least one night a week.
The former NFL wife, who tied the knot with Jay Cutler in 2013 but divorced in 2020, confessed to listeners that she has had to adapt to a new sleep schedule now that school is back in session. While her eldest son Camden, 13, is more independent and sleeps in his own bed every night, Jaxon and Saylor would often sneak into their mom's bedroom.
"I used to have them sleeping with me every other night," Kristin revealed on Tuesday's episode of "Let's Be Honest." However, due to the kids' increasing independence and school schedule, they've had to adjust to co-sleeping only once a week. But don't think for a second that Kristin doesn't have her hands full – she noted that Jaxon was particularly clingy, sleeping with his mom "every single night for four years" despite her best efforts to break the habit.
The entrepreneur and reality TV star shared a humorous anecdote about what it's like trying to get ready in the morning while co-sleeping. "I have to be so quiet in my bathroom, like brushing my teeth, washing my face, and getting dressed," she laughed. "I want to be able to have the freedom to move about my room and get dressed in the morning without worrying about waking someone up."
But that's not all – Kristin also dished out the tea on her birth experiences, including the scary moment when hospital staff initially couldn't find Jaxon's heartbeat during delivery. Her doctor was so concerned that the baby might not survive childbirth, but luckily, they were able to get him back on track.
The Uncommon James jewelry designer shared some brutal details from her first child's birth, saying she felt like "ripping in half" during the delivery. Although she opted for an epidural for all three of her deliveries, Kristin admitted that it didn't fully eliminate labor pain and left her with enough muscle control to help facilitate the birth.
"I fantasized about a more natural kind of birth," she confessed. "But I knew the epidural was essential." The reality TV star also reflected on what she would do differently if she had to give birth again, saying that she would prioritize a more natural birth experience.
Kristin's love life has been a tabloid staple for years, with high-profile romances and breakups making headlines. She was initially linked to her Laguna Beach classmate Stephen Colletti before moving on to dating Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby. But it wasn't until she tied the knot with Jay Cutler in 2013 that things got really serious.
The couple's marriage ended in divorce in 2020, but not before they welcomed three beautiful children together. Speaking with Interview Magazine in March, Kristin opened up about her co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, saying it was "the ultimate test in life." She also shared some choice words on her BunnyXO's Dumb Blonde podcast last December, calling out Jay for bringing "zero f*g consistency" to their relationship.
It seems that Kristin is always speaking her mind and dishing out the tea – we can't wait to see what she spills next!
