Olivia Walker and Mark Estes Fuel Dating Rumors With New Video
Kristin Cavallari’s ex-boyfriend Mark Estes looked like he had no problem moving on in a new video posted by Love Island USA’s Olivia “Liv” Walker.
The reality star, 22, shared a video via TikTok on Friday, November 22, that featured herself and Mark, 24, goofing around in a variety of clips set to the popular viral sound from the trailer for the film Wicked.
“Everyone, I have an announcement,” Liv lip-synced.
She then pulled the Montana Boyz member, who was wearing what looked like one of Liv’s faux fur coats, into the frame and held onto his arm. In other shots, Liv jokingly pulled Mark’s hair up into two tiny pigtails. She let fans know in the comments that she was fixing his hair like “Boo from Monsters, Inc.”
People in the comments section were divided on Mark and Liv’s relationship.
“Wait a minute- wasn’t he just with Kristin Cavallari or am I trippin???” wrote one TikTok user, while another added, “He ain’t waste no time.”
Others were happy for Liv.
“I LOVE HOW UR JUST HAVING FUN,” gushed one fan.
This was the second video in two days that hinted that Liv and Mark might be more than friends. On Thursday, November 21, Instagram user bravobravobri shared a post showing Liv and Mark standing cheek-to-cheek in a crowded elevator.
The pair first sparked dating rumors when Liv shared a video of herself and Mark enjoying the city of Nashville. The Kalispell, Montana, native pretended to propose to Liv with what looked like a diamond ring. After playfully shouting, “Yes!” Liv could be heard saying, “Look at my diamond, baby!”
“I guess I’m Mrs. Montana now,” she wrote alongside the video.
Both Liv and Mark walked the red carpet at the Gladiator II premiere on Monday, November 18, which only fueled the dating rumors.
Mark and Kristin, 37, first began chatting after the Montana Boyz reached out in September 2023. The Hills alum later invited them on her podcast and discovered they were moving to Nashville, where she lives. Their first date happened the day before Valentine’s Day earlier this year and she officially hard launched their relationship that same month.
Fans were surprised about the romance due to their 13-year age gap, but in March, Kristin admitted during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest,” that she “[didn’t] give a f–k” about people’s opinions on her relationship.
“Me dating a 24-year-old is not something I was searching [for],” the former Laguna Beach star continued. “It’s not something I ever thought would happen. I understand what it looks like to the outside world [but] he’s not a typical 24-year-old. When this news came out, it’s the first time in my entire life I 100 percent haven’t given a s–t about what anybody thinks. I know that I’m happy. I know how he really is. I know what this is.”
However, their age-gap ultimately led to the end of their relationship in September. While Kristin confessed during the October 1 episode of “Let’s Be Honest” that Mark was the “best boyfriend [she’s] ever had,” she “knew long-term it [wasn’t] right.”
“I started to feel the age a little bit just with life experience. I look back [to] when I was 24 and how much life has happened for me in between then. Those are crucial years. Those are formative years. That’s when you find yourself. He needs to be able to do that,” Kristin explained.
