Kristin Cavallari found masked intruder in her bedroom

Reality star Kristin Cavallari has revealed she once came face-to-face with a masked intruder who was crawling across her bedroom floor while she was asleep with her young son.

The reality star has opened up about a shocking break-in during a family holiday in the Bahamas in 2020 when she was still married to her ex Jay Cutler revealing she woke up to find a man wearing a black ski-mask on the floor close to the bed where she lay with her son Camden, now 12.

During an episode of her 'Let’s Be Honest' podcast, Kristin explained: "We were in the Bahamas during COVID - it was spring break. This is 2020 and then COVID hit so we ended up staying in the Bahamas for a month.

"We were in a really great, safe - what we thought was safe - gated resort."

The family moved to a different property for the last week of the trip and that was when they were targeted by the intruder.

She added: "I had Camden in bed with me. Camden and I went to bed early before everybody so I didn’t really know where everyone was in the house.

"But I woke up to my bedroom door opening and it woke me up because of the light from the kitchen and I woke up to a man crawling on my bedroom floor.

"And I was so out of it because obviously I had just woken up but I go, ‘What the f*** are you doing?’"

The man ran out of the room and Kristin quickly realised it was not her husband.

She said: "I was like, ‘Oh f***.’ Like that was not Jay … I don’t know who that was. But because Camden was in bed with me I didn’t yell, I didn’t scream.

"You think in those moments that that’s what you would do but your instincts just kick in. I honestly felt like I was in ‘Mission :Impossible'."

Kristin sent a message to her husband but he didn't reply because he was asleep so she had to leave the bedroom to make sure the couple's two other children Jaxon and Saylor were ok.

She went on: "Well, obviously Jay didn’t respond. It was like 1 a.m. or something. So I’m like, F*** I have to go out in the house by myself and leave my son here in bed' ... [I felt] like a Navy seal ... You don’t think, you’re just like, ‘Go'.

"So I go out in the house and I don’t know where anybody is. I look in the bedroom across the way - no one is in there. I’m like, ‘What the f***.'

"I go upstairs because Jay was upstairs with Jaxon and Saylor … I guess they both were up there with him.

"And I woke up Jay and once I woke Jay up then I got really nervous. Like really scared. Then I started shaking. I was able to process then what happened but until that point, I was not scared, I was really calm."

The couple found cash had been taken from the house and the authorities later arrested a man in connection with the break-in.

She said: "Long story short, he took all the cash that we had in a backpack but we ended up getting it back. We found out who it was - it was the HVAC guy."

However, the pair never told their children about the scary incident. She added: "That’s just one that I think would really scare them.

"That someone broke into our house, was crawling on the bedroom floor - and he was crawling on the bedroom floor going to the closet to get the jewelry."
