Kristin Cavallari has addressed the romance rumors linking her to Tyler Cameron.

Cavallari and the "Bachelorette" star made headlines earlier this month after they co-starred in a steamy photoshoot for her brand, Uncommon James. Photos from the shoot showed the two gazing at each other from across the set before inching closer. At one point, Cameron wrapped his arms around the "Hills" alum's waist as she seemingly stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.

The intimate photos immediately sparked rumors that the pair may be dating. However, the "Very Cavallari" star has confirmed that Cameron only played the role of a hired actor.

"Tyler is the sweetest human being on the planet, such a great guy, I was so impressed with him," Cavallari told Entertainment Tonight during an interview at her brand's flagship brick-and-mortar store in Nashville. "I hired him to play my love interest in our fall campaign video. There is nothing going on. Great guy, [but] we are not dating, I promise."

She added, "If I was, I would not answer the question, put it that way."

Her steamy pictures with Cameron surfaced not long after Cavallari revealed she's finally ready to get back in the dating scene following her April 2020 split from ex Jay Cutler.

But while some fans have speculated that "she knew what she was doing" when she released the images, Cavallari insisted that she "honestly did not think about it like that."

"Nothing is going on. He was a hired actor, OK?!" she explained.

Although nothing romantic is going on between the pair, the 35-year-old TV personality said she enjoyed working with Cameron.

"It was so fun," she admitted. "Honestly, we had so much fun. I can't say enough good stuff about him. There is no ego whatsoever. He is just very chill, up for anything."

As for her love life, Cavallari said she's single but "open to dating right now." The mother of three shared that she is now sure that she's ready for a new relationship and even another marriage.

"This is the first time in a few years where I am in a good place to be dating," she said.

Cavallari said that she wants to marry again because she believes "this time around it would be very different, and that excites me."

While Cavallari is looking forward to a new romance, an unnamed source recently told Us Weekly that her ex-husband "is still very much hung up on" her.

"He still has a lot of love for her and wishes things weren't as they are," the insider said of Cutler, adding that while "they are co-parenting well, he just wishes they were still together. He deeply cares about her."

The former Chicago Bears quarterback and Cavallari married in June 2013 after dating for three years. They went on to have three kids, sons, Camden, 9, Jaxon, 7, and daughter, Saylor, 6.

The pair announced their breakup in April 2020 in a joint statement shared via Instagram. They have yet to finalize their divorce.
