Kristin Cavallari is pulling back the curtain on her short-lived romance with Southern Charm star Craig Conover.
During the June 25 episode of her podcast tour special, Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, the Laguna Beach alum, 38, addressed long-standing rumors surrounding her and Conover, 36, four years after the two were first linked.
"In 2021, Justin [Anderson] and I went down to Charleston, met the boys, and we just honestly clicked immediately," Cavallari recalled. "And then Craig and I started hanging out—only a few times, but it became this whole media frenzy."
That media frenzy, she explained, only intensified over time.
"The media was trying to figure out if I was hooking up with Craig, or if I was hooking up with Austen [Kroll], or is she hooking up with Austen and Craig?" Cavallari said. "I was like, 'I hate them. I hate them so much.'"
According to Cavallari, things escalated even more when Conover appeared on Summer House, where his then-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo also became part of the conversation.
"When Craig joined Summer House, I magically became part of the storyline, and his then-girlfriend Paige even talked about me on camera," she shared. "I just remember being really stressed out by the whole thing, and feeling like the boys were sort of taking advantage of it. And I felt like they just kept adding fuel to the fire."
It was a turning point for Cavallari, who noted how differently she viewed having those kinds of headlines written about her now that she's a mom.
"Once I became a mom, I realized it's not just me anymore that I have to look out for," Cavallari said. "I have this tribe that I'm representing, and so the Southern Charm boy drama in particular, I really was mad about because it was the first time as a mom that I had lived out these scandalous headlines."
She continued, "It definitely made me kind of take a step back and realize that I kind of needed to reel things in a little bit. So ultimately, I guess maybe it was a good thing, because it was kind of a wake-up call."
Cavallari also addressed the lingering speculation surrounding the timeline of Conover's relationship with DeSorbo, 32, hinting there may have been some "overlap" when it came to her and Paige.
"I've always assumed there was a little overlap between Paige and I with Craig," Cavallari admitted. "I'm not really expecting Craig to be like, 'Yeah, you're absolutely right. I did lie to you and I lied to Paige.' I just think it's kind of fun to give him a hard time about it."
But Conover, who appeared onstage during her podcast tour, surprised her by responding directly.
"I don't really think there was as much overlap as everyone thinks," he said. "I actually am an honest person, like I never lied to you about anything. Eventually, it just got to the point [where] Paige and I decided to date and we stopped talking."
Cavallari replied, "Once I kind of caught wind of Paige, I was like, I'm gonna remove myself from this situation."
Earlier this month, she echoed similar sentiments on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, clarifying the nature of her relationship with Conover.
"Craig and I were friends first [and] became romantic for two seconds," Cavallari told host Andy Cohen.
As for whether there was any romantic crossover with DeSorbo, she said, "There was a picture of Craig and Paige in New York—I'll never forget it—and it looked like they were sort of together. That was the first time anyone had seen them. That was the first I had heard about it."
"I saw that picture, and I texted him and I said, 'Hey, let's just be friends,'" Cavallari added. "Like, I don't wanna get in the middle of this."
Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour is currently streaming on Peacock.
