Kristin Cavallari is admitting to the same parenting move which got another celebrity mom in trouble with her fans.
During a recent interview on the “Aspire with Emma Grede” podcast, the 39-year-old reality TV star shared that she doesn’t give her children a free pass in life, and “if they want something, they have to work for it.”
“I try to be very hyper-aware of that because they are growing up in a very fortunate situation and I want them to know this is my money, this is not your money,” she explained. “Something as small as they fly coach I’m flying in first class. That was important to me when they became old enough.”
She joked that now that they are old enough to where she can trust them not to fight while they’re alone on the plane, it is easy for her to leave them and say, “Bye guys, have fun back there.”

Fans loved the idea of Cavallari enjoying a luxury flight on her own while her kids sat in economy, with one YouTube comment reading, “She’s a real one for flying her kids coach while she is in first class haha.”
Cavallari shares three kids with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler: sons Camden, 13, Jaxon, 12, and daughter Saylor, 10.
While on the podcast, “The Hills” star also spoke about her divorce from Cutler, who she was married to from 2013 to 2022, saying what gave her the “confidence to leave my marriage was the success of” her jewelry and skincare brand, Uncommon James.
“Which is interesting because if I didn’t have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right? But because I had this company, there was a really large asset on our balance sheet.
“I didn’t get anything, which I’m so happy about now. But I don’t get any money from my ex-husband. I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else. Yeah. Isn’t that interesting?”
The “Very Cavallari” star’s admission comes shortly after singer Jessica Simpson defended herself for sitting in first class with her mother, but without her children and her then-husband, Eric Johnson.
Simpson’s solo trip in first class became public knowledge after her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, who was also on the flight with Simpson, exposed her during an appearance on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live!” in May.
“I believe her kids and her — I’m not familiar with where they stand, but — her husband, maybe, were on the plane but not with us,” he said, later confirming they were “in a separate class of service.”
