In the 10 years since he released his debut EP and became a professional singer-songwriter, Wallen has broken records left and right and earned acclaim among his peers in the country music community.

Wallen, 31, hit his stride in 2024 and topped the Country Music Association Awards nominations with seven nods, including entertainer of the year, single of the year and male vocalist of the year.

At the time, neither Wallen nor Cavallari seemed to be looking for a serious romantic relationship. However, the "Laguna Beach" star opened up about their time together – admitting the country music star "was good in bed."

"At the time, quite honestly, I was like, β€˜I kind of just want a f--- buddy in Nashville,’" Cavallari admitted to Bunnie Xo, wife of country music star Jelly Roll. "That's really hard to find here for some reason. And I wanted to make Morgan that, but . . . ."

"He's a great f--- buddy," she noted, before later adding: "But he was so busy, honestly, that it was just like, β€˜why the f--- am I like – what are we doing? This is silly.'"

I will say I walked away from him a couple times, and I was ultimately the one that ended it, but I never felt like I, like, had him. And yeah, the only time in my life. So, that really f---ed with me.'

The TV star dated TikToker Mark Estes for about seven months following her divorce.

Cavallari admitted she ended things with Estes due to their 13-year age gap.

"Mark and I broke up," she said on her "Let's Be Honest" podcast. "It's hard, because I broke up with Mark because I just know long-term it's not right, and it's not because of love lost or something bad happened."

"I just know long-term he needs to experience life. He's young," she said. "I started to feel the age a little bit with life experience.

"I look back when I was 24 and how much life has happened between then. Those are crucial years. Those are formative years. They're when you find yourself, and he needs to be able to do that."
