One thing that’s not a secret? The deep feelings that reality TV star Kristin had for her boyfriend Mark Estes who is 13 years younger than her.
As the Hills alum explained on a March 2024 episode of her podcast Let’s Be Honest, dating someone 24 years old was not something she had sought out or ever imagined would happen. She even expressed that she initially considered 30-year-olds to be too young for her.
Although Kristin acknowledges that it might seem unusual to outsiders, she emphasized that Mark is “not your typical 24-year-old” and that a person’s character transcends their birth year.
