“I had really sad moments, but ultimately, I’m really in a good place right now,” she continued. “And I’m feeling just that peace in my life.”

“We tried really, really hard for years and years,” she said. “It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made.”
Cavallari also revealed that producers on her E! reality series “saw stuff, but they didn’t put it in the show — which is good, because I don’t want my kids to ever [see that].” She added, “I still care so much about him and talk to him almost every day. We have three kids together. He’s going to be in my life forever.”
