Kristin Cavallari issued rare comments about her “wild time” dating Nick Lachey in 2006.
The “Hills” alum recalled becoming headline fodder “overnight” during the latest episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast.
“I was … on the cover of every tabloid,” the former MTV personality, 37, remembered on Tuesday. “I had so many paparazzi following my every move, waiting outside of my house.”
Cavallari, who was 18 or 19 at the time, called her and Lachey’s brief romance the “biggest thing” since “he had just gotten a divorce from Jessica Simpson.”
The “Laguna Beach” alum hit back at past comparisons to the actress, denying that she “was stealing [Simpson’s] red carpet poses.”
Cavallari, laughing, explained, “There are like four f–king poses you can do on a red carpet, like, my hand on my hip? What?”
She noted that her relationship with the 98 Degrees member, 51, marked the first time she “really started to kind of lose trust in some people.”
The “Very Cavallari” alum went on to share a story about a former friend selling a photo of the couple to a magazine.
“That was my introduction to just shadiness,” Cavallari told listeners, calling the alleged betrayal “f–ked up.”
The exes reunited years after their fling on Lachey’s “Big Morning Buzz” show in 2014, laughing over how they both unknowingly named their sons Camden.
By that time, the singer had married wife Vanessa Lachey, with whom he shares Camden, 12, daughter Brooklyn, 9, and son Phoenix, 7.
Cavallari, for her part, wed Jay Cutler in June 2013, welcoming Camden, 12, son Jaxon, 10, and daughter Saylor, 8, before their 2020 split.
She moved on with comedian Jeff Dye post-divorce before hooking up with “Bachelorette” alum Tyler Cameron and dating TikTok star Mark Estes.
As for Simpson, the actress and Eric Johnson tied the knot in July 2014 and are the parents of daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 5.
Although the pair recently sparked breakup rumors, they have yet to publicly define their relationship status.
