00:00Kristen Cavallari is revealing why she decided to end the relationship that everybody thought they at least they looked like a
00:07Perfectly gorgeous couple, right? Well, they they were a perfectly gorgeous couple actually
00:12She says you two and she actually says he was the perfect boyfriend. So why did she break up with Mark Estes?
00:18Well, she has reasons and I like to do with numbers. Yes debate in the newsroom over this
00:23Yeah has to do with numbers
00:24Remember the background here is that he is 24 Kristen is 37 and that definitely played a role. Here's her explanation. I
00:32broke up with Mark because I
00:34Just know long term. It's not right. No one
00:39Cheated no one was me like no one did anything and those breakups are always
00:45The hardest he's been the best boyfriend I've ever had. I
00:49Just know
00:51long term
00:53he needs to experience life, you know, he's young I mean he is and I
00:59Started to feel the age a little bit just with life experience. Mark is a really good guy
01:04I mean, he really is such a good guy and that's what makes it hard
01:09I know that one day he will look back and he will
01:14Understand it and I actually think one day he will thank me. I mean, first of all, I really like her
01:20This feels like it's not about you
01:23It's about me and I get that there is a big age disparity here
01:28but it may also be not so much that she wants him to experience life as
01:34Not aligning with her life what her life what she wants her life to be right now
01:39Exactly, and she look she's gotten out of a marriage. They have three kids. It was a bad divorce
01:45She probably wants some freedom too, right and she's looking at the age difference and the fact of the matter is even if he's not
01:51There right now. He's gonna want a family
01:54He's gonna want to settle and he said that Kristen's been very open about what she wants out of this relationship
01:59Or what she was getting out of this relationship and it was the good, you know, chaka chaka
02:06But for mark he was no no, no. No, we're not gonna let you say chaka. Chaka
02:11Come on, you know, come on, it's just three letters. It's just three letters. You can say it. They were having great SCX
02:26Agreed they were having good chaka chaka, but he said that his main goal was he wanted to get married
02:33He wanted kids and she was just kind of like, I don't know not so much
02:36But look, I think there is something to be said about her saying he didn't have enough life experience and that started to kind of
02:43You know wane on their relationship because he's only 24. He was born in what?
02:471999
02:482000 like if somebody if I was dating somebody I'm the same age as her if I was dating somebody that didn't know all five
02:55Of the Spice Girls or didn't know who the Spice Girls girls were or said they were born the year of the Spice Girls
03:01I would be like I'm out. So the Spice Girls is your deal-breaker. I mean, yeah
03:061999 those are key met core memories of somebody my age like for music Britney Spears
03:12Christina Aguilera Backstreet Boys, like if they don't know who they are, that's gonna hurt. I have a slightly different day
03:18I think you um, my slightly different take is when you're 24 years old, especially guys when you're 24 years old
03:27It is different even than when you're 28 29 and 30 because you've had time to be out on your own at that age
03:33But when you're 24, you're kind of fresh out of being a juvenile, right?
03:38And you do need your your maturity level
03:42You do that isn't the the level you do need that but I think from Mark's side we haven't heard from him
03:48I think he probably felt like he found a really great one
03:51Oh, I think that's right and he probably wanted to settle down and I understand why I'm saying I think it's her right that telling
03:58Him don't
04:01I live in San Francisco
04:03I just wanted to come on here. I have a little bit of experience myself. I feel bad for both of them
04:09my ex is also 24 and I'm low 30s a little younger, but it does just get to a point, you know where
04:17Although the relationships going well, the age group can really be a serious thing and at some point
04:23You're just going in different directions in life. So I hope they can both
04:27Definitely find the good in their relationship and have those good memories
04:31But ultimately I wish them the best in the future. It's really heartbreaking when you come to this realization
04:37The age gap can be a real thing, you know
