Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is denying claims made by his ex-wife Kristin Cavallari about their divorce settlement, according to a source who tells PEOPLE that his response “manipulated” her original statements.
Cavallari recently stated she didn’t receive a “penny” from their divorce. However, a source close to the situation says Cutler’s denial twists her words into “something completely different than what Kristin was initially saying.”
The former Chicago Bears quarterback and the reality TV star finalized their divorce in 2022 after seven years of marriage.
The ongoing dispute centers on financial arrangements from their split, though specific details of their settlement remain private.
Cavallari, 37, has been open about challenges she faced during and after the divorce process. She’s spoken about rebuilding her life and focusing on her business ventures since the separation.
The former couple shares three children together. They’ve maintained joint custody arrangements while navigating their post-divorce relationship.
Cutler’s response came after Cavallari’s recent public comments about the financial outcome of their divorce proceedings. The source suggests his statement misrepresents the context of her original remarks.
The source tells PEOPLE that Cutler’s characterization of events doesn’t reflect the full picture of what Cavallari was discussing.
Neither Cutler nor Cavallari’s representatives immediately responded to requests for additional comment about the latest developments.
Their divorce proceedings were completed two years after they initially announced their separation in April 2020. The couple cited “irreconcilable differences” in their filing.
Cavallari has since focused on her Uncommon James jewelry business and various media projects. She’s also been candid about the personal growth she’s experienced since the split.
The former “Very Cavallari” star has emphasized her commitment to co-parenting effectively despite the ongoing disagreements about their divorce settlement.
