The “big deal” sports star that Kristin Cavallari recently went on a date with in Nashville has been revealed to be Will Hardy.
The Utah Jazz head coach, 37, came out to the Tennessee capital to “see” the “Laguna Beach” alum, 38, “many months ago,” a source told Us Weekly.
“It was one date and that was it,” the insider explained of their date. “She never saw him again.”

Page Six has reached out to Cavallari for comment but did not immediately hear back. Hardy had no comment on the matter.
Last month, Cavallari shared that she had recently gotten set up on a date with a mystery sports star.
“I literally said to the universe, ‘I’m ready to go on a date,’” she said during an October episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast.
“The next day, I got a phone call from my agent who set me up with a coach, which is also funny because [‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ star] Patti Stanger came on my podcast and said, ‘You should go out with coaches,’” the reality star added.
Though the “Hills” alum didn’t reveal the man’s identity, she did say that she heard he was “a big deal.”
“He is represented by CAA. So am I. Our two agents made it happen,” Cavallari explained.
“He flew to Nashville, took me to dinner, such a great guy,” she recalled.
However, the podcast host said something “just wasn’t right” during their date.
“I know after the first date if I’m going to like someone or not. I was trying to make it work, and I kept talking to him, and I was going to see him again and everything in me was telling me not to,” she remembered.
“When I’m out of alignment for what is meant for me, everything in my body screams at me. He is such a good guy. I enjoyed talking to him. … It just wasn’t right,” the mom of three added.
Cavallari has had her fair share of dating athletes.
