If anything, Jay Cutler credited his kids for making his co-parenting experience smooth. Talking about how the couple managed to give their kids time, Cutler said:

“The kids kind of do it. We’ve got our schedule, and it works for us.”

As for Kristin Cavallari’s statement, the podcaster reflected back on her marriage, highlighting the difference in health she has experienced post her divorce. Talking about how she “was so unhappy and so stressed” in her marriage, Cavallari said:

"The difference was, I was so unhappy and so stressed out. I look back at photos from that time period, and I am like, ‘Holy sh*t! I was rail f**king thin. I was skin and bones. I looked like sh*t.' I think I look so much better now.”
