Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager applauded Kristin Cavallari for defending her new relationship with Mark Estes, who is 13 years younger her junior.
“I do have to say in her defense, whenever it’s the other way, no one says one word. I mean, so what? They get on, right?” Kotb said on Monday’s episode of “Today With Hoda and Jenna.”
Bush Hager agreed with her co-host and added, “By the way, good for her!”
“You go, girl!” Kotb raved, and Bush Hager repeated the phrase.
The “Today” show personalities were discussing celebrity couples making headlines over the last few days and included Cavallari, 37, after she slammed people criticizing her for dating Estes, 24.
The “Laguna Beach” alum addressed the hate by sharing a TikTok video of her mouthing the audio, “So what are you going to do about it? Are you going to arrest me? Are you going to give me a ticket?”
“When they’re all up in arms that im dating a 24 year old. Andddd?” she captioned the video on Saturday.
Cavallari debuted her romance with Estes by sharing a selfie of them smiling while enjoying a vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico, last week.
“He makes me happy 🤍,” she captioned the Instagram hard launch.
Estes –– who is a popular TikTok creator –– announced his new lady by sharing a TikTok video of them dancing, hugging and kissing while wearing bikinis outside of their dreamy hotel.
A source close to Estes later clarified to Page Six that the duo “aren’t official yet,” but they had “been talking” for weeks.
“Kristin thinks Mark is super hot. He’s very flirtatious, and she’s loving it,” they added. “They were down in Mexico for just a few days but had a lot of fun together. It’s still new.”

Shortly after both debuting their relationship, their social media posts were each flooded by fans commenting about the 13-year age gap.
However, a source told Page Six that the mom of three and the social media personality are “unfazed” by the haters.
“They’re two consenting adults who like each other, so who cares? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Kristin and Mark aren’t paying attention to the noise,” the insider told us last week.
Cavallari was previously married to Jay Cutler from 2013 to 2020, but they didn’t finalize their divorce until 2022.
The exes share three children together: sons Camden, 11, and Jaxon, 9, and daughter Saylor, 8.
