Kristin Cavallari and her new boyfriend, Mark Estes, are unfazed by criticism over their 12-year age difference, a source close to the athlete tells Page Six exclusively.

“They’re two adults who like each other, so who cares?” says our informant. “Everyone has a right to their opinion, but Kristin and Mark don’t pay attention to the noise.”

Neither Cavallari’s representative nor Estes immediately responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The “Hills” star, 37, and the handsome Montana native, 24, debuted their relationship on social media on Tuesday.

While Cavallari wrote that Estes “makes her happy,” many of her 4.7 million Instagram followers were quick to troll the couple.

“She’s finally posting pictures of her kids,” one fan joked about the reality star, who shares three children with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler.

“What the hell is this, teenager?” another user joked about Estes, who was just 4 years old when “Laguna Beach,” the show that put Cavallari on the map, premiered in 2004.

“He needs to cook a little more,” a third person commented.

“Who is that your son?” one more follower jokingly asked.

Page Six previously reported that Cavallari and Estes’ “new” relationship is not “official yet,” as they have “been talking” for just a few weeks.

However, our source shared, “Kristin thinks Mark is super hot. He is very flirtatious and she loves it.”

The duo recently vacationed together in Mexico, where they packed on the PDA in a poolside video shared on the soccer player’s TikTok page.

Estes was born in October 1999 and graduated from Montana Technological University in December 2023. In addition to being a wide receiver for his school’s Orediggers team, he is known as a member of the popular TikTok account Montana Boyz.

Cavallari has been linked to a host of men since her 2020 divorce from former Chicago Bears quarterback Cutler, including comedian Jeff Dye and country singer Chase Rice.

Uncommon founder James and Cutler, 40, share 11-year-old son Camden, 9-year-old son Jaxon, and 8-year-old daughter Saylor.
