Mark Estes Opens Up About His First Date
In an exclusive interview with Page Six, Mark Estes, one-third of the popular TikTok group Montana Boyz, candidly shared his feelings about his initial date with Kristin Cavallari. The athlete, known for his entertaining content on social media, revealed that he experienced excitement and nervousness before their rendezvous.
Estes recalled, “I think just like along with any first date, I was definitely a little nervous.” However, the chemistry between them was undeniable from the start. He described their connection as instant, and Cupid’s arrow seemed to strike right on target.
Estes officially asked the “Laguna Beach” alum out for the first time on Feb. 13, just ahead of Valentine’s Day. The two haven’t been shy about showcasing their love for each other ever since – whether that be in public, on social media or in various interviews.
The TikTok star didn’t hold back when praising Cavallari. He gushed, “She’s just super confident.” Not only is she stunningly gorgeous, but she also possesses exceptional qualities beyond her looks. As a mother to three children—Camden (11), Jaxon (9), and Saylor (8)—from her previous marriage to Jay Cutler, Cavallari embodies the full package.
Estes wasn’t the only one who felt the sparks fly. Fellow Montana Boyz member Kaleb Winterburn also sensed the chemistry when they met in person during a group hangout in Nashville, Tenn. He exclaimed, “Hanging around her at first, I was like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy.’” And Kade “Cutter” Wilcox added, “She’s super cool in person.”

The Montana Boyz caught her attention, and she received a heartfelt message that simply said, “I love you.” Little did she know it was from her “favourite,” Estes. Despite a minor mishap (he initially sent the message from the wrong account), their connection blossomed.
Estes and Cavallari first connected via Instagram last fall after the “Hills” alum discovered the Montana Boyz on her TikTok “For You Page” in September 2023.
The Uncommon James founder received a DM from the trio’s IG account that said “I love you,” which Cavallari later discovered was from her “favorite,” Estes.
Winterburn told Page Six that he remembers his friend being elated when he saw the reply from Cavallari.
“He was just fired up,” Winterburn said of Estes. “He mustered up the courage to do it and then he did it on the wrong account [instead of his personal]. Then she saw it and he was pretty ecstatic the next day.”
Estes and Cavallari officially launched their relationship while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, proving that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it. With Estes’s nerves and Cavallari’s confidence, their romance is a delightful blend of excitement and authenticity.

While many fans praised the reality star for showing off her new man at the time, others took to the comments section to weigh in on their 13-year age gap.
“You definitely kinda gotta block it out, just kind of have tunnel vision; have a vision of where we’re going and what we want to do in the future,” Estes said in response to any criticism he and the Montana Boyz receive online. “So we don’t let that really get in the way of it.”
“I mean, yeah, we’ve definitely been shooting some shots,” Winterburn confessed, bursting into laughter.
“We’ve got some DMs,” Wilcox added. “We can’t go further on any names but… we’re definitely single.”
“I definitely don’t think we were ‘most likely to be TikTok famous’ by any means,” Wilcox joked when asked what they were like back in high school and whether they won any superlatives.
“We’re goofballs, for sure,” added Winterburn.
Estes, Winterburn and Wilcox told Page Six that the creation of the Montana Boyz – which now boasts nearly 750,000 followers on TikTok and 238,000 on Instagram – actually happened by “accident” when they were playing a drinking game called Beer Die in college.
“Cutter set up his phone and was like, ‘Hey boys, let’s make a TikTok.’ It got a bunch of views and we’re like, ‘Alright, let’s post more of these,’ and it kind of turned in to what it is now,” Winterburn recalled of their early lip-synching clips.
“Honestly, it was like pure bliss,” he added of their reaction upon discovering their first video went viral. “It was the first time like all of our phones were kinda blowin’ up. We’re like, ‘Oh, this is addicting.’”
The Montana Boyz have since moved to Nashville, a short distance from where Cavallari resides in Franklin, Tenn. Winterburn admitted the move has been “a culture shock, for sure,” but told us they’ve collectively been “having fun” as a group and meeting new people.
“I don’t know how long we’d last! [But] yeah, we’d try it out. I’m hoping to try all that kind of stuff out,” Winterburn said, with Wilcox adding, “I think if we had the practice, we could get there.”
