In a world obsessed with fame, followers, and flashy romances, Kristin Cavallari is flipping the script—and it might just be working. The Laguna Beach alum and lifestyle mogul recently made waves when she revealed that her blossoming romance with Yellowstone: 1923 star Brandon Sklenar wasn’t just luck or timing.

Nope. It was manifestation.

In a jaw-dropping episode of her Let’s Be Honest podcast, Cavallari opened up about how she called in a man who was exactly what she needed—and how Sklenar, the smoldering cowboy from Taylor Sheridan’s Western universe, checked every single box.

So how did the star of reality TV’s golden era manifest one of television’s most buzzed-about rising actors? Let’s break it down.

✨ The Manifestation Heard Round the Internet

It started with a simple comment—playful, even. On her podcast, Cavallari said:

“I manifested this man. I swear. I wrote down that I wanted someone emotionally intelligent, grounded, and normal. And boom—he showed up.”

Cue the Internet losing its collective mind.

While Kristin didn’t name Brandon outright at first, fans quickly pieced it together. Days later, she confirmed it: the man she manifested is Brandon Sklenar, and their relationship is “the most real and mature” she’s had in years.

🧠 Normal Over Notorious

So what exactly did Kristin manifest? Spoiler: it wasn’t just a hot guy with a great beard (though… check and check). She was looking for substance over status.

“I wanted someone who didn’t need the spotlight,” she explained. “Someone who’s okay being still. Who doesn’t play games. Who shows up and means what he says.”

Sklenar, despite skyrocketing fame from his breakout role as Spencer Dutton in 1923, is famously low-key. He rarely posts on social media, doesn’t engage in celebrity drama, and prefers intimate indie films over Hollywood glitz.

In short? Kristin didn’t just get a TV cowboy—she got a real man.

💘 How It All Started: Quiet Sparks

According to insiders close to both Cavallari and Sklenar, their relationship started organically, not through agents or events—but through a shared friend in the entertainment world who thought they’d “vibe well.”

They were introduced early in 2024. After a few long conversations—first over text, then FaceTime—they finally met up in person in Los Angeles.

“There was instant chemistry,” said a source. “But more importantly, there was trust. They both had their guards up, but something about it just worked.”

🏡 A Relationship Rooted in Reality

What makes this pairing so refreshing isn’t just the contrast between their backgrounds—Cavallari, the glam beach-girl-turned-entrepreneur, and Sklenar, the thoughtful, artistic actor from New Jersey. It’s how they’re reportedly navigating it all without the need for attention.

The two are said to spend time between Nashville (Kristin’s home base) and L.A., staying in, cooking, reading scripts, and sharing personal goals.

“He’s not clout-chasing. She’s not looking for headlines. They just get each other,” said a friend close to Cavallari.

And it seems her manifestation didn’t stop at personality. Kristin has hinted that Brandon’s values, ambitions, and sense of humor all align with her desires for a long-term partner.

🔮 Why This Manifestation Feels Different

Cavallari has had her fair share of highly public romances—from NFL star Jay Cutler to brief rumored flings with other celebrities. But she says this relationship feels fundamentally different.

“I’m in a place now where I know myself,” she shared. “I’ve done the work. I’ve been single long enough to know what I don’t want. So I got really specific about what I do want—and he appeared.”

It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with her audience of women seeking empowerment and authenticity in love.

📚 The List That Manifested a Cowboy

While Kristin hasn’t shared the entire list she used to call in her ideal man, she did mention a few standout traits that ended up matching Brandon to a T:

• Emotionally available

• Has done therapy

• Family-oriented

• Creative

• Doesn’t care about social media

• Masculine, but emotionally intelligent

• Great with kids

• Doesn’t mind staying in

Sounds like Spencer Dutton… but evolved for modern life.

🗣️ Fans React: “She Spoke Him Into Existence”

Social media has been flooded with reactions from fans who are thrilled—not just because Cavallari found someone new—but because she did it with intention and clarity.

“She literally spoke a soft cowboy into existence. Goals.”
“Kristin manifesting a man who reads scripts and waters plants instead of seeking headlines is my new 2024 mood.”
“If it worked for Kristin, I’m writing my list TODAY.”
