Kristin Cavallari's ex-husband Jay Cutler 'broke into my house' after night out, says ex-Chicago Bears teammate

A former Chicago Bears teammate of NFL quarterback Jay Cutler recalled a time where the ex-signal caller broke into his house in the early hours of the morning.

Cutler, the ex-husband of reality television star Kristin Cavallari, has been in trouble with the law recently in Tennessee after he was arrested and served a sentence for DUI.

Speaking on the 'This Is Football' podcast with Kevin Clark, former Bears lineman Kyle Long revealed a moment when Cutler invited himself inside his house.

'I had a very unique relationship with Jay because when I arrived in Chicago, it was clear to me that it was a nontraditional quarterback situation in that locker room from a social standpoint,' Long revealed. 

'I just think Jay was born in the wrong century. I really believe that. He's like Dances with Wolves, Kevin Costner a little bit. He wants to be out by himself journaling, and he just happens to rip the fastball 100 miles an hour. And can run and run over linebackers, talk a little shit. 

'And I remember one instance, we went out drinking one night, and he got us a car back, by the way. He got us a car. I think he got himself a car back. 

'And the next morning, somebody had broken into my house at 6:00 AM, and it was Jay Cutler. He was making sure that I was getting to the workout the next day on time. 

'And he was like, "We can have fun, but we got to..." He broke into my house with his kid in his arm. It was a soft break in. I probably left the door unlocked. 

'I woke up and Jay Cutler is in my doorway, and he's like, "Hey, buddy, just making sure we're ready to roll." The guy cared in a different way.'

Last month, police in a Nashville suburb released bodycam footage of Cutler's DUI arrest which led to a short stint in jail.

The arrest, which happened in October 2024, led to a four-day prison sentence as part of a plea deal the former Chicago Bears quarterback made with prosecutors in Tennessee.

Cutler was arrested in the suburb of Franklin, outside of Nashville - the city where he went to college and where he got married to Cavallari.

In the footage, the 42-year-old Cutler was asked how much alcohol he had consumed after rear-ending a different vehicle.

After Cutler replied 'none', an officer advised him not to lie. When asked again, Cutler replied, 'a little bit'.

The Pro Bowler refused a field sobriety test, leading to him getting handcuffed and put into the back of a squad car with no resistance. 

Cutler was booked for DUI and for a gun possession charge. After cutting a deal with prosecutors, the weapons charge was dropped and he was sentenced to four days in jail for the misdemeanor DUI.

The former 11th overall pick out of Vanderbilt only ended up serving two-and-a-half days of that brief sentence.

He was also sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation, was ordered to attend a DUI safety class and will pay a fine of $350.

While he has served his criminal sentence, Cutler is still being sued by the driver of the vehicle he hit. 

The plaintiff has claimed he has 'endured physical and mental suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life' after the incident.

Cutler and Cavallari divorced in April 2020 after seven years of marriage and three children together - Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, nine. 

Ever since then, they have continued to exchange shots at each other in a messy public split. In August, Cutler hit out at Cavallari for saying she 'never got a penny' after they broke up in 2020.

Asked about her comments while appearing on the Take It Outside podcast, he said: 'I think it’s reckless. I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got. 

'It’s insanity and it’s completely false, completely untrue. I hate that I even have to address it, honestly.'
