Kristin Cavallari is still recovering from the tragic death of his brother Michael Cavallari, 30. The actress' sibling was reported missing for two weeks and was found dead in Utah.
TMZ reported that Michael struggled with alcoholism for years and had more than his share of trouble. Five days before disappearing, he showed up to his girlfriend's apartment with a loaded shotgun after a verbal dispute and made threats. The cops revealed that he smelled alcohol on his breathes and he was released two days later and disappeared.
Kristin and her family were already terrified after learning that Michael was missing. The family was devastated after learning that he was dead after two weeks of searching. "We have just been informed by the authorities my brother's body has been found. This is a very painful time and we are still processing it all," she told the news outlet in a statement.
Amidst the mourning and pain Kristin is going through, she has one very special person that helps her get through all of her emotional baggage. According to People, last Monday, the mom of three posted a touching Instagram snap of her 3-week-old daughter Saylor James Cutler's tiny feet and captioned it with, "My little angel, Saylor. She has been my light throughout this whole thing and has given me so much strength. Thank you baby girl for coming when u did."
Per Hollywood Life, Kristin's little girl seemed to have already taken her mom's fashion and style. She appeared to be sitting on a cozy monogrammed blanket with her pink sweatpants. "The Middle" star and her husband, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, 32, welcomed Saylor, their first daughter, on Nov. 23.
Kristin and Jay are already parents to two sons, Camden, 2, and Jaxon, 19 months. The couple threw an intimate wedding at the Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville, Tenn., two years ago, per Daily Mail Online.
The report stressed that Kristin was devastated following his older brother's death. In a separate report from Hollywood Life, she posted a tribute message to Michael alongside their photo when they were just kids. "My heart is in a million pieces," she wrote. "Mikey, I could always count on you to make me laugh. You had such a good heart and will be forever missed. I'm at a loss for words, but I know u are in a better place and finally at peace. I love u so much RIP."
Thanks to baby Saylor, Kristin has found another reason to live. Losing a loved one is never easy, but we hope that the newest member of the family will remind everyone to keep going and to look forward to the coming years ahead.
