Background

Kristin Elizabeth Cavallari was born on January 5, 1987, in Denver, Colorado, as one of two children to Judith Eifrig and Dennis Cavallari, the other being her late older brother, Michael Cavallari. Her father is of Italian ancestry, and her mother is German. After her parent’s divorce, she and her mother moved from Denver to Barrington, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, where she lived until her junior year of high school, when she relocated to Laguna Beach, California, with her father and brother. She graduated from Laguna Beach High School in 2005.

Cavallari was in her junior year of high school when the first season of “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” began. At the time, she was in an on-again, off-again romance with senior Stephen Colletti. Cavallari’s relationship with Colletti sparked a feud with another cast member, Lauren Conrad, and it got featured on the show. Following “Laguna Beach,” Cavallari relocated to Los Angeles and signed on for the U.P.N. reality television series “Get This Party Started,” which premiered in February 2006 and became canceled after two episodes. Cavallari first appeared on Laguna Beach’s spin-off series “The Hills” in 2009, making her debut in the fifth season’s midseason finale, where she seized the bouquet during Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s wedding.

Cavallari replaced Conrad as a cast member and narrator for the second half of the season. Despite signing a deal with M.T.V. to appear on two more seasons after the fifth, the sixth and final season was in July 2010. Cavallari then appeared as a guest on several reality competition shows. Cavallari started commentating on the Academy Awards for E! in 2012, and she co-hosted “The Fabulist,” a half-hour fashion and lifestyle trends show, in 2014. “Very Cavallari,” a reality show starring Cavallari, premiered in July 2018 and followed her opening of the flagship store, Uncommon James. Cavallari announced the end of her series in May 2020 after three seasons. Cavallari made her final two guest appearances on “The Hills: New Beginnings” in 2021.
