Jay Cutler is focused on making his marriage to Kristin Cavallari a thing of the past!
The athlete has bid farewell to a significant property he shared with his influencer ex-wife last week as part of his transition from the broken marriage.
Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari walked down the aisle in 2013 and decided to part ways from their 7-year union in 2020 in a messy divorce process.
Jay Cutler & Kristin Cavallari's Tennessee Home Has A New Owner
Cutler has let the home they shared as a couple in Tennessee go for an all-cash sale on Wednesday for $7.9 million, down from its original listing of $11 million in early 2023.
The listing was reportedly handled by Tim Thompson of Tim Thompson Premier Realtors and Marty Warren of Zeithlin Sotheby's International Realty.
The 10,697-square-foot home, whose sale was described as a loss for the former NFL star, boasts 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a gym, a sauna, and a pool house on an expansive 45-acre lot.
Cutler and Cavallari purchased the impressive property for $4.23 million in 2018 and then expanded the size of the estate by buying an additional 35 acres for $1.2 million.
The estranged couple's home made several cameos on their hit E! Reality series "Very Cavallari." Jay was awarded the property in their divorce settlement, which doubled as his primary residence until its sale, per TMZ.
While Cutler settled into his awarded residence, his ex-wife accused him of withholding money to stop her from acquiring a new home. However, Jay argued that they already had an array of existing properties, which would make any purchase financially irresponsible.

The fashion icon described her marriage to the athlete as toxic, stating that she was unhappy during the length of their union.
In August 2022, The Blast reported that Cavallari granted several interviews after their divorce, during which she detailed her marital experiences to the former NFL star.
Despite her accusations, Cutler refused to clear the air surrounding the mom of two's comments, expressing that he has "steered clear of all that."
Cutler continued that he had no reservations about the E! star's decision to express herself, but he chose not to engage in a media brawl with her for the sake of their children.
"I also don't understand, It's two and a half years. Why are we having these conversations?" he added on the "Sofia with an F" podcast with Sofia Franklin, where, like his ex-wife, he also discussed his life before, during, and after the NFL.
Inside The Estranged Couple's Love Story
Cutler and Cavallari popped out on the scene very much in love in September 2010 and announced their engagement in April 2011.
They briefly broke up in July 2011 but rekindled their relationship in November and walked down the aisle in Nashville, Tennesse, on June 7, 2013. The couple thereafter welcomed their three kids, Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor.
Unfortunately, things went sour between the lovebirds and they announced their separation in 2020, claiming irreconcilable differences.
The estranged couple's inability to resolve a handful of money concerns, including Cavallari's plan to buy a new home, delayed the divorce process for two years.
Cavallari Trusted Her Intuition To Leave The Marriage
The couple finalized their divorce in June 2022, with Cutler reportedly celebrating after the settlement, which he described as a "happy ending."
However, that does not seem true, as Cavallari's comments after the union gave a completely different perspective and sounded more like their divorce was Cutler's fault.
The mom of three disclosed that she basically called off the engagement for the same reasons she got a divorce. "And so I guess if there's any takeaway from that is you can't ignore red flags, People don't change, and you've got to trust your gut," noted Cavallari.
She continued that it took her a few years to finally pull the plug on their marriage as she initially found divorce "really scary," but her resolve for her kids not to share the unhappiness she felt in the marriage carried her through the finish line.
Kristin Cavallari Felt Peace After Divorce
Cavallari was convinced that following her gut about the divorce was the right decision when she answered fans' questions on her podcast "Let's Be Honest" in 2023.
The 37-year-old disclosed that she and Cutler were surprisingly on good terms, and she was excited about that fact, declaring: "Oh my god. I'm so happy about it because, you know, everyone wins when parents are on good terms."
The Blast shared that the actress admitted that her amicable relationship with the former NFL star reflected positively on their three kids, adding:
"My kids see it, I mean, it's just easier. And listen, I get it. When people's hearts are breaking, it's really difficult. It's really, really difficult, and so, you know, seeing Jay happy is the best."
