How was Kristin and Michael Childhood?
Kristin and Michael were children of Judith Eifrig and Dennis Cavallari. Kristin was born in January 1987, and Michael was born in June 1985. They were close when they were younger. In a TV show in February 2018, Kristin shared that Michael had mental health issues.
After their parents split up, Michael and Kristin, who were 10 and 8, saw their dad move to Laguna Beach, California. Their mom stayed in Colorado, where they grew up. Michael went to live with his dad in Laguna Beach, and Kristin moved to Chicago with her mom, who had remarried, as mentioned in a 2005 book about Laguna Beach by MTV.
Kristin found it hard to adjust to life in Chicago. After she was caught sneaking out in ninth grade, her mom sent her to live with her dad and brother in Laguna Beach. There, Kristin became part of the reality TV show “Laguna Beach.”
Michael was on the show once, in the first season. Kristin asked him if she could ask their dad for a new car, and he told her to “Keep dreaming.”
