Reality star Kristin Cavallari and former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler are going their separate ways, ending their 10-year relationship.

Cavallari and Cutler took to social media to announce their divorce, each posting different photos with the same caption.

“With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce” each Instagram post reads. “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.”

Cavallari, 33, and Cutler, 36, have two sons, Camden Jack, 7, and Jaxon Wyatt, 5, as well as daughter, Saylor James, 4.

The two reportedly met after one of Cutler's football games in 2010 when he was playing for the Chicago Bears. They became engaged in April 2011 but called off the engagement in July of the same year. By November 2011, the engagement was back on. The pair wed in Nashville in June 2013.

Earlier this month, Cavallari and Cutler received criticism for traveling to the Bahamas and remaining on the island through the beginning of April, despite government recommendations amid the coronavirus pandemic, HuffPost reported. The couple claimed to be "stuck" in the country with Cavallari's hairstylist for what ended up being about three weeks.

Cutler played eight seasons with the Chicago Bears and three seasons with the Denver Broncos before announcing his retirement in May 2017. He came out of retirement later that year and announced he’d play another season with the Miami Dolphins.

Cavallari stepped into the stoplight in 2004 during her junior year of high school when she starred in MTV’s “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.” She later stared in the show’s spin-off, “The Hills.” In 2008, E! announced the debut of Cavallari’s own reality TV show, “Very Cavallari.”
