During a news conference that focused mainly on his recovery from a broken right thumb, Cutler jokingly said he “just heard about” Cavallari’s post from earlier in the day before acknowledging they’re engaged. He said they haven’t set a wedding date.

Cutler broke off their engagement shortly before they were to marry last summer.

Cavallari became a celebrity in 2004 when MTV tracked her high school love life and rivalry with Lauren Conrad. She was later on “The Hills” and was a contestant this season on “Dancing With the Stars.”
