Kristin Cavallari Made Changes To Her Instagram Account Hours After Her And Jay Cutler's Divorce Papers Went Public
The split is now Instagram official.
By now I'm sure you'll have heard the news that Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler are divorcing after 10 years together.
The pair, who tied the knot in 2013 and share three children, announced the news on Sunday night with matching Instagram statements.
"With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce," the statement read. "We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of."

"This is just the situation of two people growing apart," it went on. "We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family."
Fans of the couple were completely shocked and heartbroken by the news, and flooded the comments of Kristin's post to express their sadness over the split.
But if you were hopeful that there might be a reconciliation of some sort, I'm afraid I have more bad news.
Not only have divorce papers been filed, but Kristin appears to have made the split Instagram official.
Yep, Kristin has removed the word "Wife" from her Instagram bio which lists her various roles and achievements in life.
Her bio used to read "Wife and momma." It now states that her main roles are "Momma" and "Founder/CEO" of jewellery company Uncommon James.
The edit came just hours after their divorce papers were obtained by several outlets including TMZ and People, which revealed that Kristin had cited both "irreconcilable differences" and "inappropriate marital conduct" as grounds for the split.

Kristin also cited the official day of separation as April 7 — the day they returned home from the Bahamas after being stranded for three weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Over recent years, the pair have become increasingly open about their marital problems on Kristin's reality show, Very Cavallari. In one episode, Kristin revealed that a big source of conflict was feeling unsupported by Jay during a hectic phase in her career.
“You and I have switched roles,” she said. “When you were paying football, I had to give up my entire life and live your life, and I never gave you a hard time about it."
"I was at every game, and I supported you and did everything I was supposed to do as a wife," she continued. "And I just feel like since I've gotten really busy, I haven't felt the same support from you."
“I feel like if you were really supportive and really encouraging of everything I have going on, I would want to make time for you. It would be a different situation," Kristin continued. "But I feel like everything I have going on is a problem."
"We’ve gotta get back on the same page," she added. "I just don't feel like we’re on the same page right now. We’re having a really hard time seeing eye to eye."
And in a recent interview to mark the start of the third season of Very Cavallari, which premiered in January, Kristin revealed that it had been hard juggling filming in the midst of arguments with Jay.

"I don't think people realise reality TV is so time consuming," she told Bustle. "And if you're having a bad day or you're fighting with your husband and then you have to go film, it's like, 'God, that sucks.'
