Kristin Cavallari Reveals Name of Athlete She Recently Dated, Explains Why Things Didn't Work Out
Kristin Cavallari is sharing details about her recent relationship with a mystery athlete and finally revealing his name for the first time.
On the latest episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast, Kristin revealed that she was recently dating former NHL player Nate Thompson, though she “wouldn’t consider him a boyfriend.”
Back in December, Kristin said, “He’s coming to stay with me in a couple of days. He retired a couple of years ago and he’s got so much depth and I just love talking to him. We connect on so many different levels.”

Kristin said on her April 1 podcast episode, “I really think he’s such a great guy. So that’s not one where I’m like, I don’t want anyone to know.” She called the relationship “the most honest, pure, amazing, quote-unquote relationship I’ve ever had.”
“He is an ex-hockey player,” Kristin told her listeners. “He’s been retired for a couple years now. He’s a dad. He’s someone who has done a lot of work on himself, and we really connected on such a deep level. Honestly, one of the deeper relationships I’ve had, especially in such a short amount of time. We didn’t hold back anything. We told each other f—ing everything.”
Kristin talked about the importance of attraction.
“That attraction piece for me has to be so on fire for me to want to be with someone,” she said. “I have gone out with amazing men, and this guy is a good example of that. Why can’t I fall in love you?”
“I need in the beginning to want to rip your f–king clothes off,” Kristin said, adding that there was no “flame” with Nate.
“I need compatibility and chemistry,” she added. “I understand that what I’m searching for is rare. … I’m not gonna settle for anything less than exactly what I want.”
Kristin did clarify that she was attracted to Nate though.
“It wasn’t like we didn’t have fun, and I was attracted to him. Like, all the pieces were there… I just didn’t wanna be in a relationship,” she said. “I didn’t necessarily have time either. I think that’s also been kind of a factor for me of, like, my time that I can give to a man right now is so limited. And that’s obviously really hard for guys, and it’s hard for me too … It’s f—ing complicated, alright, with having my kids most of the time. It’s not like it was a couple years ago, which is fine. Again, this is not the phase of my life where I I don’t even wanna be dating that much anymore.”
Kristin ended the relationship before heading out on her tour.
Kristin recently named the ex she would get back together with if she had to.
