With the bombshell news that Kristin Cavallari and her husband Jay Cutler are officially divorced after 10 years together (is this why we haven't heard anything about a new season of "Very Cavallari" (open in new tab)), fans immediately began wondering about the cause of the divorce They began to wonder about the cause of the divorce. Despite insisting that the breakup had nothing to do with infidelity (opens in new tab), rumors swirled (opens in new tab) due to the odd timing: Cavallari cut ties with former best friend Kelly Henderson earlier this year. Cavallari cut ties with former best friend Kelly Henderson this year. Henderson has not commented and information about the divorce has not yet been received, but here is what is known about the situation.

The two had been friends for eight years (opens in new tab). Henderson is a "celebrity stylist & glam specialist" and founder of Velvet's Edge (opens in new tab), according to his Instagram bio. It appears to be a blog about fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, with items for sale and a related podcast. According to her bio, she grew up in Louisiana, lives in Tennessee, travels a lot, and likes to "live free."

Henderson was part of Cavallari's inner circle of friends, as depicted on the show, and Henderson even joked that she was trying to find the perfect man for her. The two were then no longer seen on each other's social media accounts, and there were rumors of a breakdown in their friendship. According to Cavallari, the two had not spoken in months after their "falling out," and Henderson had become defensive in recent conversations.

Cavallari addressed rumors of an affair between Henderson and Cutler and said he did not believe them. She said, "What upset me was not the actual accusation that they were having an affair, but how Kelly did it." There was something about Henderson posting that publicly. 'Why would she want to post that (about her husband)? If I were accused of having an affair with your husband, I wouldn't mention his shitty name on social media.' Frankly, I got the impression that she was vague.

Later, Henderson countered on the show (open in new tab) that he was focused on his life." I got a shitty email that I can't interpret as very nice: ...... I think she thinks I'm only texting her for the show," she said. She denied the cheating rumors, but took a lot of heat on social media about it.

Fans were concerned that they hadn't heard anything about a new season of Very Cavallari. The star has said in the past that she did not want to do reality TV forever and had signed a deal to make a cameo appearance on The Hills: New Beginnings season 2. But news of the divorce puts everything in a different perspective - will the show continue now that the couple has split?

Cutler filed for divorce first, citing "irreconcilable differences," and Cavallari filed later in the week for the same reasons and "marital misconduct." This is a legal term that refers to the behavior that caused the relationship to "erode." Frankly, this can mean many things, but cheating is absolutely one of the ways misbehavior can occur. Tennessee is a fault-finding state (open in new tab) when the parties do not agree to the terms of the divorce. Therefore, they may be headed for a court battle. And this Henderson business may be dragged into all that. To be continued.
