Chelsea Blackwell se mantiene en silencio sobre si está oficialmente de vuelta con su ex prometido Jimmy Presnell. Ella no está lista para declarar públicamente una reunión romántica a pesar de su reciente encuentro en Florida.

La estrella de "Love is Blind" -que acaba de aparecer en la reunión de la sexta temporada- se unió a nosotros el jueves en "TMZ Live", donde trató de mantener la calma en lo que respecta al tema de Jimmy.

Mientras que Chelsea dice que está tratando de mantener el estado actual de su relación en secreto, ella estaba radiante mientras insinuaba que saldría más información a la luz en "Love Is Blind: Después del altar". Así que sí, ella sabe como mantener a la gente atenta.

Confirmó que la reunión de "LIB" se grabó hace 3 semanas, así que está claro que han pasado muchas cosas desde entonces. Recordemos que obtuvimos un video en el que ella y Jimmy se veían muy cariñosos la semana pasada en Fort Lauderdale, y Chelsea habló acerca de por qué estaban allí juntos.

Ella hizo una referencia no tan sutil a la "vida de animal de fiesta" de Jimmy, que podría haber sido más una indirecta a él que otra cosa.

Durante esta temporada de "LiB", las fiestas de Jimmy fueron un tema polémico para la pareja, y sin duda jugó un papel en su ruptura antes de llegar al altar.

Dicho esto, Chelsea dice que ella y Jimmy están en un buen lugar ahora y disfrutando de la compañía del otro, a diferencia de algunos de sus otros compañeros de reparto.

Sí, ¡te estamos mirando a ti, Trevor!

También nos recordó que tiene un trabajo de día como azafata de vuelo, y es hora de volver a su vida normal, fuera del mundo del espectáculo.

Ella estará de vuelta en los vuelos a partir del viernes, y ya está anticipando algunos grandes cambios cuando se trata de sus interacciones con los pasajeros.

Chelsea Blackwell is staying tight-lipped on whether she's officially back with ex-fiancé Jimmy Presnell -- despite their recent hookup in Florida, she's not ready to publicly declare a romantic reunion.

The "Love is Blind" star -- who just appeared on the Season 6 reunion -- joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live," where she tried to play it cool when it comes to the subject of Jimmy.

While Chelsea says she's trying to keep the current status of her relationship under wraps ... she was beaming as she hinted at more information to come on ... perhaps on the "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" special. So yeah, she got the showbiz plug thing down pat.

She did confirm the 'LIB' reunion was filmed 3 weeks ago ... so a lot's clearly happened between now and then. Remember, we got video of her and Jimmy getting very cozy last week in Fort Lauderdale -- and Chelsea did spill some tea about why they were down there together.

She made a not-so-subtle reference to Jimmy's "party animal life" -- which might have been more of a dig at him than anything else.

During this 'LiB' season ... Jimmy's partying was a contentious topic for the couple, and definitely played a role in them breaking up before they even got to the altar.

That being said, Chelsea says she and Jimmy are in a good place now and enjoying each other's company -- unlike some of their other castmates.

Yeah, we're looking at you, Trevor!

She also reminded us she's got a day job as a flight attendant, and it's time to get back to her normal life ... outside of showbiz.

She'll be back on flights starting Friday, and is already anticipating some big changes when it comes to her interactions with passengers.

La reunión de "Love Is Blind" dejó a los espectadores rascándose la cabeza, ya que quedaron con más preguntas que respuestas sobre el estado de las estrellas de la sexta temporada, sobre todo porque han pasado muchas cosas desde que las cámaras dejaron de rodar.

Mientras que el episodio del jueves fue sin duda más exitoso que la reunión de la temporada 4 el año pasado, la reunión no dejó ningún tema saldado.

No es ningún secreto que Netflix tarda una eternidad en estrenar sus reality shows, reservándolos con mucha antelación para que nunca les falte contenido. Sin embargo, esta estrategia ha permitido que se estropeen muchas cosas a medida que se desarrolla una nueva temporada... por lo que la gente se quedó con las ganas esta vez.

Por ejemplo, la revelación de anoche de que Jessica Vestal se uniría a la segunda temporada de "Perfect Match" no fue una sorpresa. Recordemos que TMZ ya había obtenido fotos de la belleza morena pasando el rato con la estrella de "Too Hot to Handle" -Harry Jowsey- desde el pasado mes de septiembre. Así que, en realidad, no es noticia.

Los ex Jimmy Presnell y Chelsea Blackwell, afirmaron ser solo amigos en la reunión, pero sabemos que se reunieron el fin de semana pasado en Florida. Así que, de nuevo, es noticia vieja, porque parece que en la vida real están juntos de nuevo.

Lo que probablemente está sucediendo es que Netflix está tratando de retener cualquier actualización real para la nueva temporada de "Love Is Blind: After The Altar", pero eso no significa que la reunión sea menos frustrante.

A pesar de ser inicialmente uno de los favoritos de los fans, Trevor Soa fue puesto en la mira por los fans después de que se reveló que tenía una novia durante el rodaje. Su defensa ... aunque le dijo a la otra mujer que la amaba antes y después del rodaje ... nunca fueron oficialmente una pareja.

Reconoció que era "tóxico" y que necesita terapia. Por desgracia para él, Nick Lachey lo echó de la reunión.

Hablando de engaño, Jeramey Lutinski y Sarah Ann Bick confirmaron que son oficialmente una pareja después de manejar hacia el atardecer en motos de agua juntos. Recordemos que fueron vinculados cuando Jeramey todavía estaba comprometido con Laura Dadisman.

La pareja -que anunció que están viviendo juntos... cosa que ya sabíamos- una vez más negó que se engaron durante su reunión fuera de cámara. La ex prometida de Jeramey, Laura, dijo que no tenía ningún interés en escuchar sus excusas, tachando a ambos de "repugnantes".

Jeramey también se refirió a los rumores de que tenía una prometida justo antes del inicio de la producción. Confirmó que había estado comprometido antes, pero negó haber cancelado su compromiso para unirse al espectáculo.

En cuanto a Jimmy y Chelsea, su reconciliación no fue la única que hubo después del rodaje. Si bien esto no se compartió en el reencuentro, una entrevista entre bastidores mostró a Chelsea explicando cómo ella y Jimmy intentaron salir durante cuatro días después de cancelar su compromiso.

Chelsea dijo que "nada cambió realmente", lo que llevó a los dos a seguir siendo amigos. Sin embargo, desde esta confesión, los hemos visto juntos de nuevo, así que quién sabe.

Un momento destacado de la reunión fue cuando Clay Gravesande intentó reconciliarse con su ex-prometida Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith. Confesó que dejó que sus inseguridades sacaran lo mejor de él y compartió que comenzó a ir a terapia.

Clay trató de disparar su tiro con Amber -a quien llamó el amor de su vida- pero ella se mantuvo tímida acerca de sus sentimientos actuales. Sin embargo, confesó que le dio una oportunidad a Matthew.

Brittany Mills y Kenneth Gorham no se reconectaron románticamente después de su ruptura, sin embargo, confirmó que hablan todos los días como amigos. Johnny McIntyre y Amy Cortés, los únicos que llegaron al altar y se dieron el "sí, quiero", y siguen felizmente casados.

Kyle Richards is trying to shut down the gossip about her split from Mauricio Umansky ... by declaring the real reason behind their separation doesn't concern anyone else.

She got choked up as she tackled a fan question on why she's been avoiding the truth about their split during Wednesday night's 'RHOBH' reunion finale .. and as you can see from the clip, it hit a nerve with her!

Even though they've been openly airing their relationship on the show for years, Kyle suddenly flipped the script ... straight-up telling host Andy Cohen, "It's nobody's f***ing business!"

She made it crystal clear that nobody needed the nitty-gritty details about their marriage falling apart after 27 years ... but with her sister Kathy by her side, she did offer a bit more insight into what went down leading up to the split.

Kyle explained like in any marriage, theirs had its highs and lows over the years, especially when kids came into the mix ... but their problems never went away. She also reveals there was a specific incident that shattered her trust in Mauricio.

Andy also asked if the ongoing rumors about Mauricio cheating bothered her ... and she admitted they did, especially when she listened to that nagging voice in her head questioning whether the rumors held any truth.

However, Kyle tried to salvage the relationship 'cause she cared deeply about her family -- only to hit breaking point when her efforts didn't pay off.

Kyle confessed she initially believed the split would be a temporary situation ... but things have now evolved into a surprisingly amicable friendship between them, making it difficult for them to pull the trigger on an official divorce.

It remains to be seen how much Mauricio will reveal about the split on season 2 of his reality show, "Buying Beverly Hills."

The "Love Is Blind" reunion left viewers scratching their heads ... as they were left with more questions than answers regarding the status of the Season 6 stars -- especially since a lot has unfolded since cameras stopped rolling, including for the reunion itself.

While Thursday's episode was certainly more successful than Season 4's live stream debacle last year ... the reunion danced around giving anyone any real closure -- especially after so much drama played out offscreen.

It's no secret that Netflix takes forever to release their reality shows -- banking it well in advance so they are never without content. Yet, this strategy has allowed for so much to get spoiled as a new season unfolds ... which is why people were left yearning here.

For example ... last night's reveal that Jessica Vestal would be joining "Perfect Match" season 2 was no surprise -- as TMZ had already obtained photos of the brunette beauty gettin' hot and heavy with "Too Hot to Handle" star Harry Jowsey -- from this past September. So, not really news.

Exes Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell claimed to be just friends at the reunion ... but we know that they reunited for a very friendly weekend in Florida just last week. So, again ... that was a bust too, 'cause it appears (in real life) they're actually together (again).

What's likely happening is that Netflix is trying to hold back any real updates for the new season of "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" ... but it doesn't make their relatively nothing-burger of a reunion any less frustrating. Anyway, here's what happened on the 'LiB' reunion.

Despite initially being a fan-favorite, Trevor Soa was later put on blast by fans after it was revealed he had a girlfriend while filming. His defense ... even though he told the other woman he loved her before and after filming ... they were never officially a couple.

He acknowledged he was "toxic" and that he needs therapy. Unfortunately for him, Nick Lachey booted him from the reunion.

Speaking of deception ... Jeramey Lutinski and Sarah Ann Bick confirmed they are officially a couple after riding off into the sunset on jet skis together. Remember, they linked up after leaving the pods -- when Jeramey was still engaged to Laura Dadisman.

The pair -- who announced they are living together, which BTW we already knew too -- once again denied hooking up during their off-camera meetup. Jeramey's ex-fiancée, Laura, said she had no interest in hearing their excuses ... slamming both of them as "disgusting."

Jeramey also addressed the rumors he had a fiancée just before the start of production. He confirmed that he had been engaged before, but denied calling off his engagement in order to join the show.

As for Jimmy/Chelsea ... their recent reunion wasn't the only reconciliation they had post-filming. While this wasn't shared on the reunion, a backstage interview showed Chelsea explaining how she and Jimmy tried to date for four days after calling off their engagement.

Chelsea said that "nothing really changed," prompting the two to stay friends ... at that time. Since this confession, though ... we've obviously seen them together anew, so who knows.

One highlight of the reunion was when Clay Gravesande attempted to reconcile with ex-fiancée Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith. He confessed that he let his insecurities get the better of him and shared that he started going to therapy.

Clay tried to shoot his shot with AD, who he called the love of his life ... but AD stayed coy about her current feelings. She did, however, confess that she gave former pod connection Matthew a chance by going on a couple of dates.

Happier moments ... Brittany Mills and Kenneth Gorham did not romantically reconnect after their breakup, yet confirmed that they speak every day as friends. Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortés, the only ones to make it to the altar and say "I do" ... and are still happily married.

Bella Hadid's lassoed up property of her own in Texas, and is now fully immersed in the land of cowboys -- a move spurred, if you will, by her relationship with real-life wrangler Adan Banuelos .... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the supermodel scooped up a home in the Fort Worth area in a rural neighborhood, but the community is close enough to urban amenities, so she doesn't feel cut off from the world.

Sounds like Bella's grown accustomed to living deep in the heart -- we're told she's is in Fort Worth more than not.

It makes sense, though, as her boyfriend Adan is a major star in the horse riding industry, and owns a home in the area of Bella's. In fact, we're told the duo splits time between their 2 homes.

Still ... Bella has kept her love story with Adan under the radar for the most part. Remember, the couple was first linked in October 2023 -- when Bella and Adan were spotted locking lips at the famous Fort Worth stockyards.

Two-stepping down to Texas is a big switch for Bella ... who was raised in L.A. alongside her model siblings Gigi and Anwar Hadid.

While she's always had a love of horses, and competed as an equestrian, we're told she's gone full cowgirl now ... and even posed for a pic with the cast of Fox's "Farmer Wants a Wife" during last week's rodeo in nearby Arlington.

Bella Hadid ha conseguido su propia propiedad en Texas, y está totalmente inmersa en la tierra de los vaqueros. Todo tiene relación con el vaquero de la vida real Adan Banuelos, TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la supermodelo compró una casa en el área de Fort Worth en un barrio rural, pero la comunidad está lo suficientemente cerca de los servicios urbanos, por lo que no se siente aislada del mundo.

Parece que Bella se ha acostumbrado a vivir ahí. Nos informan que está en Fort Worth muy seguido.

Tiene sentido, ya que su novio -Adan- es una estrella importante en la industria de la equitación, y es dueño de una casa en la zona de Bella. De hecho, nos dicen que el dúo divide el tiempo entre sus dos casas.

Aún así... Bella ha mantenido su historia de amor con Adan bajo el radar en su mayor parte. Recordemos que la pareja fue vinculada por primera vez en octubre de 2023, cuando Bella y Adan fueron vistos besándose en los famosos corrales de Fort Worth.

Para Bella, que se crió en Los Ángeles junto a sus hermanos, los modelos Gigi y Anwar Hadid, es todo un cambio.

Mientras que ella siempre ha tenido un amor por los caballos, y compitió alguna vez, nos dicen que ella ha ido completamente vestida de vaquera, e incluso posó para una foto con el elenco de Fox "Farmer Wants a Wife" durante el rodeo de la semana pasada en las cercanías de Arlington.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is off the hook in his domestic battery case -- the charge he was facing was dropped a day before he was scheduled to be arraigned, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to a disposition notice from the Florida Assistant State Attorney filed on Tuesday ... prosecutors declined to move forward against Jones after reviewing evidence from the alleged incident back on November 13.

As we previously reported, cops said Jones -- a 2nd round pick out of the 2017 NFL Draft -- and the mother of his child got into a heated argument that turned physical at a Jacksonville condo/apartment after she allegedly told him she was taking their child to Orlando.

Cops said in the report that they "observed several small scratches on the victim's neck, consistent with marks from a fingernail" ... and Jones was arrested for first-degree domestic battery causing bodily harm.

The team had no comment on the situation at the time.

Jones played college football at East Carolina, where he broke several school records including receptions in a game (22) ... and has suited up for the Bills, Raiders and Jags.

La saga de Kate Middleton continúa y ahora Stephen Colbert se está inclinando por un nuevo rumor y es que el príncipe Guillermo podría estar teniendo una supuesta aventura.

El anfitrión del "Late Show" habló de la realeza durante su monólogo de apertura el martes y abrazó por completo la infundada especulación e insinuación de que tal vez Bill la esté engañando, un rumor que ha estado circulando desde hace un tiempo en los tabloides, etc.

La supuesta "otra mujer" en cuestión es Lady Rose Hanbury, la marquesa de Cholmondeley, que lleva años en la órbita íntima de Guillermo y Kate como amiga.

Como hemos dicho, esto nunca se ha confirmado, pero se ha hablado de ello durante mucho tiempo, y ahora, en medio de la misteriosa ausencia de Kate, se ha puesto en marcha nuevamente con algunos sugiriendo que tiene algo que ver con el motivo por el que Kate Middleton ha estado fuera de los focos últimamente.

Colbert no parecía muy interesado en conectar los puntos, pero estaba feliz de burlarse de los titulares que han teorizado sobre esto, haciendo bromas a costa de Will y Kate.

Incluso se burló de un informe que sugiere que Kate se habría enfrentado a su marido por esto y que el príncipe supuestamente "se habría reído" y le habría dicho que no es nada.

Como informamos, William ha mantenido la calma y continúa con sus deberes reales mientras Kate sigue recuperándose de su cirugía abdominal a puerta cerrada. Aunque se han podido ver destellos de ella por aquí y por allá desde su procedimiento en enero.

Por supuesto, su fallido intento de Photoshop el fin de semana, que ha asumido explícitamente como su responsabilidad, solo añadió más leña al fuego sobre lo que realmente está pasando con ella.

El hecho es que casi nadie cree que la foto haya sido tomada cuando el Palacio de Kensington dice, y con este nuevo rumor circulando, Will y Kate solo tienen otra capa más con la que lidiar mientras la gente sigue analizando teoría tras teoría.

Travis Kelce isn't sick of Taylor Swift concerts just yet -- the Kansas City Chiefs superstar raved about his girlfriend's latest tour dates in Singapore ... saying it was an "amazing" experience.

The Super Bowl champion -- who was spotted at two of Swift's six sold-out shows in Asia last week -- praised Tay's performance on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Jason ... and even though he's seen the same setlist several times, he clearly can't get enough.

Kelce's comments are no surprise -- after all, the guy danced like no one was watching during his appearances ... and the Swifties made sure to show him some serious love as well.

Kelce also gushed over a "cool as f***" greenhouse he visited during his trip ... and it turns out he's not just a zoo dude, he is also a big fan of plants.

Of course, the Traylor romance all came to be after Travis hit up Taylor's show at Arrowhead Stadium back in July ... and the two have written quite the love story ever since.

Apuesto a que nunca pensaste que verías a Kim Kardashian y Bianca Censori juntas.

Bueno, piénsalo dos veces, porque la ex-esposa de Kanye West y su actual esposa estuvieron juntas en la fiesta de Ye el martes por la noche, ¡¡¡y todo fue grabado en video!!!

Echa un vistazo, Kim estaba de pie junto a Bianca detrás de una barrera policial, murmurando la letra de una canción del nuevo álbum de estudio de Kanye "Vultures 2".

Sorprendentemente, parecían relajadas y cómodas la una en presencia de la otra en el Chase Center de San Francisco. Pero una cosa era obvia: no eran las mejores amigas ni hablaron entre sí, al menos en las imágenes publicadas en las redes sociales.

Aun así, esto fue totalmente inesperado. Incluso sus fans se quedaron atónitos y empezaron a cotillear sobre ello en "X" después de que las imágenes se esparcieran como la pólvora.

Estos son solo algunos de los comentarios publicados en la aplicación: "No me lo esperaba", "¿De qué demonios estarán hablando?" ''No lo sé, pero esto es una locura", "Yo WTF".

Como saben, Kim estuvo casada casi siete años con Kanye antes de divorciarse en 2021. La pareja comparte cuatro hijos: North, Saint, Chicago y Psalm.

Luego, Bianca Censori entró en escena, una antigua empleada de la empresa de Kanye, Yeezy. Los dos fueron vistos juntos por primera vez a principios de 2023 antes de casarse en una ceremonia privada.

Desde entonces, han estado galanteando por todo el mundo. Bianca se ha pavoneado en público medio desnuda y a veces incluso ha mostrado más de la mitad.

Aunque Kim y Bianca han tenido aparentemente una relación amistosa, se ha informado que Kim no está muy contenta con que Bianca use sus reveladores atuendos mientras está alrededor de los niños.

Pero ahora todo está bien y están estrechando lazos en un evento de Kanye. ¿O se trata de una jugada de Kim para calmar a su ex?

Single ladies, Ryan Garcia is looking for you!

The boxing star posted a casting call video of sorts, making it clear he is on the lookout for a partner to hold him down ... this a few months after he filed for divorce from his ex.

The 24-1 super lightweight boxer, posing shirtless, announced on Instagram he was accepting applications ... with a caption claiming he's seriously looking for a loyal lady to hold him down.

"Someone who is going to be my ride or live cause we ain't dying," the 25-year-old said.

"I'm DEAD SERIOUS QUEEN WHERE YOU AT?!"

Garcia continued his pitch, explaining he needs a woman's support.

"Right now, I do need a Queen," Ryan said, "I need a friend first, to be honest. I need someone I can trust and rock with me in any situation."

We're guessing the young, talented, handsome, and wealthy Garcia won't have problems finding a girlfriend.

Of course, Ryan was previously married to Drea Celina for nearly three years ... until they split in December 2023.

The Kate Middleton saga continues -- and now, Stephen Colbert is leaning into a new salacious rumor ... namely, that Prince William might allegedly be having an affair.

The 'Late Show' host made the Royals one of his topics on Tuesday night's opening monologue -- and he completely embraced unfounded speculation and innuendo that Bill is, perhaps, cheating ... a rumor that has been floating around for a while in tabloids, etc.

The alleged "other woman" in question is Lady Rose Hanbury -- the Marchioness of Cholmondeley -- who's been in William and Kate's inner orbit, as a friend, for years.

Like we said, this has never been confirmed ... but it's been gossiped about for a long time -- and now, amid Kate's mysterious absence, it's kicked into high gear again ... with some suggesting that it somehow has something to do with why KM's been out of the spotlight.

Colbert didn't seem all that interested in connecting the dots -- but he was happy to poke fun at the headlines that have theorized this ... cracking jokes at Will and Kate's expense.

He even made fun of a report that suggested Kate had confronted her husband about this ... to which the Prince allegedly "laughed it off" and said it was much ado about nothing.

As we reported ... William has been keeping calm and carrying on with his Royal duties as Kate continues to recover from her abdominal surgery behind closed doors -- although, slight glimpses of her have been seen here and there ever since her procedure in January.

Of course, her failed Photoshop attempt over the weekend -- which she has explicitly taken the blame for -- only added more fuel to the fire on what exactly is going on with her.

Fact is ... hardly anybody believes the picture was taken when Kensington Palace says it was -- and with this new affair rumor now making its way into the mainstream ... it's just another layer that Will and Kate have to combat as people keep digging into theory after theory.

Betcha never thought you'd ever see Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori together.

Well, think again, 'cause Kanye West's ex-wife and current wife were hanging out at Ye's listening party Tuesday night – and it was all caught on video!!!

Check it out ... Kim was standing with Bianca behind a police barrier, grooving and mouthing the words to a song from Kanye's newest studio album "Vultures 2."

Amazingly, they seemed chill and comfortable in each other's presence at the Chase Center in San Francisco. But one thing was obvious -- the women were not best buds or getting chatty with one another, at least in the footage posted on social media.

Still, this was totally outta left field. Even their fans were stunned and started gossiping about it on "X" after the footage spread like wildfire.

These were just some of the comments posted on the app: 'Didn't expect that'... 'What on earth would they be taking about?'... ''I don't know but this is crazy'... 'Yo WTF.'

As you know, Kim was hitched to Kanye for nearly seven years before their divorce in 2021, settling it a year later. The couple shares four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

Enter Bianca Censori, a former employee of Kanye's company, Yeezy. The two were first seen out together in early 2023 before tying the knot in a private wedding ceremony.

Since then, they've been gallivanting around the world ... as Bianca prances around in public half naked and sometimes even more than half, wearing sheer tights.

While Kim and Bianca have seemingly had an amicable relationship, it's been reported Kim wasn't too happy about Bianca dressing in revealing outfits while around the kids.

But now all's cool and they're bonding at a Kanye event. Or is this Kim's play to calm her ex?

Stay tuned ...

No es exactamente "How I Met Your Father", al menos no todavía, pero Kristin Cavallari está contando cómo conoció a su nuevo novio Mark Estes, mucho más joven que ella, y como la mayoría de las cosas por estos días, comenzó con ella revisando su celular.

Kristin contó los detalles en su podcast "Let's Be Honest", donde relató que estaba viendo casualmente videos de TikTok de septiembre cuando se topó con el grupo de Mark Montana Boyz, y Mark le llamó la atención por ser el más guapo.

Luego siguió con su vida hasta que el destino se abalanzó sobre ellos 3 semanas más tarde, haciendo que casualmente se conocieran.

Kristin dijo que recibió un DM al azar de uno de los Montana Boyz diciendo: "Te amo" y cuenta que estaba tan emocionada por el coqueteo digital, que los invitó a su podcast.

Mientras Kristin preparaba la entrevista, su asistente soltó la bomba de que los Montana Boyz se mudaban a Nashville, ¡justo donde vive Kristin! Muy oportuno.

Es como si las estrellas se hubiesen alineado o algo así.

Kristin mantuvo viva la conversación por DM y les dijo que los llevaría a bailar cuando estuvieran en la ciudad, antes de preguntar exactamente con quién estaba hablando. Cuando se enteró de que era con Mark, le respondió: "¡Oh, buenísimo, eres mi favorito!"

Una vez juntos, la pareja no perdió el tiempo y salieron antes del Día de San Valentín y Mark incluso conoció a los hijos de Kristin, que comparte con su ex marido Jay Cutler.

Inmediatamente después de su cita, empezaron a salir más y lo demás es historia: fueron juntos a Cabo, más o menos al mismo tiempo que su romance captó la atención pública.

A sus 37 años, la estrella de los reality dice que salir con un joven de 24 años no formaba parte de su gran plan. Al fin y al cabo, la edad es solo un número.

It's not quite "How I Met Your Father" -- not yet, anyway -- but Kristin Cavallari's explaining how she bagged her much younger boo, Mark Estes, and like most things these days, it started with her scrolling.

Kristin spilled the tea on her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast ... she says she was casually watching TikTok vids in September, when she stumbled upon Mark's group Montana Boyz, and he caught her eye as the hottest one.

She then moved on with her life -- until fate swooped in 3 weeks later, bringing them together.

Kristin said she randomly got a DM from one of the Montana Boyz saying, "I love you" ... and she was so excited by the digital flirtation, she invited them to her podcast.

As Kristin was setting up the interview, her assistant dropped the bombshell the Montana Boyz were moving to Nashville ... right where Kristin lives! How convenient.

It's like the stars aligned or something.

Kristin kept the DM convo alive ... telling them she'd take them line dancing when they were in town -- before asking who in particular she was talking to. When she found out it was Mark, she responded, "Oh good, you're my favorite!"

Once together, the pair wasted no time ... going on a date just before Valentine's Day, and Mark even met Kristin's kiddos, who she shares with ex-husband Jay Cutler.

Right after their date, they started hanging out a whole lot more, and next thing you know, they were jetting off to Cabo together -- around the time their romance came to public attention.

At 37, the reality star adds that dating a 24-year-old wasn't part of her grand plan. Age is just a number, after all!

She's certainly head over heels for her man ... commenting "smash" on a recent IG thirst trap of him. Might just be the real deal, folks!
