Cavallari said her “life was made” after meeting Sklenar at Stagecoach last month. “I could die today and be a happy woman.”

Kristin Cavallari has her eye on a very specific kind of man to date next.

The 39-year-old Uncommon James founder answered fan-submitted questions on the May 27 episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast, and she was asked who her celebrity crushes are right now, which prompted a juicy revelation about a recent run-in she had with Brandon Sklenar.

Cavallari named Sklenar, 34, and Charlie Hunnam as her current crushes, and revealed that she’d run into both of them recently — Hunnam in a hotel lobby and Sklenar at Stagecoach.

She was a “few cocktails” in and “may or may not have microdosed a little mushroom capsule” when she spotted the 1923 star at the festival, she said, calling the moment “a little blurry.”

“I wish this moment was not so blurry for me, but all of a sudden, I am able to pick out Brandon Sklennar, and he’s with a couple guys, I’m pretty sure he had his hood over his head, like I f—— clocked him and I go, ‘Oh my God, are you Brandon?’ I think I said his last name wrong,” she said.

“I was like, ‘Are you Brandon Sklenar?’ Total fangirl moment. I like f—— attacked him.”

Sklenar was “on a mission” and “didn’t want to be recognized,” she said, so she “f—— ruined that for him.”

“And I’m like, freaking out. And I said something to the effect of, like, ‘You’re my number one, you’re my biggest celebrity crush,'” she continued. “And he shook my hand and he looked me in the eye and he said, ‘Thank you.’ And my life was made. I literally — I could die today and be a happy woman.”

Calling him “more gorgeous in person,” and so “manly,” Cavallari said she’s “happy I met him” and that the brief interaction led to another fantasy for her, while also making it clear that she’s aware Sklenar is in a relationship with Courtney Salviolo.

“I will not be removing him from my vision board because what I’ve decided is I want the real-world version of Brandon Sklenar, like the non-famous version,” she said. “I’m manifesting the normal guy version of Brandon Sklenar.”

“I want that version, but like a normal guy who already has kids. That’s the other thing — he’s younger than me. He doesn’t have any kids,” she continued. “So even if he wasn’t in a relationship, I am no longer gonna date guys that are younger than me and that don’t have any kids. Like that doesn’t go anywhere.”

Cavallari was previously linked to former NHL player Nate Thompson, and before that, she dated TikTok star Mark Estes for seven months. She was also previously married to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler.

Sklenar’s attendance at Stagecoach previously made headlines as he was spotted looking close with his The Housemaid costar Sydney Sweeney in the crowd during Creed’s set, an outing that came just weeks after Sweeney split from her longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino.
