Jay Cutler, the ex-husband of Kristin Cavallari and former Chicago Bears quarterback, has been released early from jail in Tennessee.
The 42-year-old was booked into Williamson County Jail on Monday morning as part of a plea deal in a DUI offence he was arrested for last October.
He was scheduled to spend four days in jail but now, according to TMZ, he was released after around two-and-a-half days on Wednesday evening. It is not clear, at present, why Cutler managed to secure an early exit.
The charge against Cutler came from an incident in October 2024, when he was arrested for allegedly rear-ending another vehicle in Franklin, Tennessee.
At the time of the incident, cops said Cutler had bloodshot eyes, was slurring his words and smelt of alcohol.
Police also claimed that Cutler refused a field sobreity test and had two firearms in his car. According to an arrest affidavit, Cutler also offered the other driver $2,000 to not call the police and to let him drive away.

But in August, Cutler pleaded guilty to driving under the influence as part of a deal that saw authorities drop the charges over possession of a firearm. He was also told to pay a $350 fine.
Cutler and Cavallari divorced in April 2020 after seven years of marriage and three children together – Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, nine.
Ever since then, they have continued to exchange shots at each other in a messy public split.
Just last month, Cutler hit out at Cavallari for saying she ‘never got a penny’ after they broke up in 2020.
Asked about her comments while appearing on the Take It Outside podcast, he said: ‘I think it’s reckless. I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got.
‘It’s insanity and it’s completely false, completely untrue. I hate that I even have to address it, honestly.’
Cutler earned approximately $128 million during his 12-year NFL career and added that there was ‘not a judge in the state of Tennessee’ that would have allowed him to ‘keep every single dollar’ after their divorce.
In his fiery response, Cutler didn’t say what figure Cavallri got from the split but continued: ‘I’ve got a divorce decree. I’ve got something that’s signed by the judge -it’s, like, 67 pages [and] it says the number breakdown.’
Cavallari hasn’t responded to her husband’s jail stint yet, nor has Cutler spoken out in the short time since since his surprise release.
