Bears' Cutler thanks fans for support

Published Jan. 23, 2012 12:00 a.m. ET

Jay Cutler thanked fans for their support Monday after announcing that he and fiancee Kristin Cavallari are expecting their first child together.

The Chicago Bears quarterback also set the record straight about his relationship with the former "Hills" star, correcting tabloid reports that the pair temporarily broke up last summer when they called off their engagement.

"We don't usually comment on our relationship but for the record I never broke up with Kristin. Its unfortunate some people are saying hurtful things during such a joyous moment in our life," Cutler tweeted to his followers.

Cavallari, 25, and Cutler, 28, began dating in the fall of 2010 and got engaged, for the first time, in April 2011.

They called off the wedding in July and returned wedding gifts to friends in August and then got engaged again in November.

The pair announced Sunday that they were expecting a child, saying, "we couldn't be more excited."

Cavallari, meanwhile, tweeted Monday, "Thanks for all the sweet messages! We are so excited for this little bun in the oven," before setting the record straight on another tweet she sent recently.

"I tweeted that I had margaritas a few weeks ago to throw ppl off cuz I had gotten a couple tweets about my pregnancy. I didn't really drink!"
