Kristin Cavallari’s ex-husband and former NFL star has been released early from jail after a DUI arrest. Jay Cutler, a former Chicago Bears quarterback and 2006 first-round pick of the Denver Broncos, was arrested in Oct. 2024 for allegedly rear-ending another vehicle in Tennessee. Police reported he had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and two firearms in his vehicle. He was booked into Williamson County Jail on Monday morning. Cutler pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and was sentenced to four days in jail, with firearm charges dropped as part of a plea deal. According to TMZ, he was released after serving just two and a half days, though the reason for his early release has not been disclosed. Cavallari, his estranged wife, has not commented on the incident. Since their 2020 divorce, the pair have publicly exchanged insults. Cavallari has claimed she “never got a penny” after the split, while Cutler refuted the claim on the Take It Outside podcast, calling it “insanity” and “completely false.”
