The 34-year-old TV star announced her split from Jay, 37, last year, and she believes it's ultimately had a positive impact on her parenting skills.

The blonde beauty - who has Camden, eight, Jaxon, six, and Saylor , five, with Jay - explained to HollywoodLife: "I’d say it’s maybe made me a better mom in some ways because I have my kids half of the time now. So when I have them for my week, I am so incredibly present.

"I am not distracted by my phone or anything else. I am with them. If someone is having a temper tantrum or something, I remain calm because I know that I am losing them in a few days."

Earlier this month, Kristin claimed that raising girls involves "a lot of drama".

The 'Very Cavallari' star explained: "It’s harder to raise girls because girls are drama.

"It’s a lot of drama, and Saylor’s payback for me is she’s very tough. She’s set in her ways. She knows what she wants, and she’s not going to stop until she gets it."

Kristin also described her daughter as embodying the "best of both worlds", as she's "super girly" but also "really tough".

The TV star - who was married to Jay, a former NFL player, between 2013 and last year - said: "She’s super girly, but she’s also really tough. So she’s kind of, like, the best of both worlds.

"Like, she loves dresses and make-up actually. She’s normally not a huge dress girl, but this week she’s wearing dresses every day and it’s the cutest thing and it just melts my heart."
