    "And then we broke up for literally like three weeks... before I did 'Dancing with the Stars,'" she continued, referencing her brief stint as a competitor on Season 13 of the ABC reality show. "When we decided that we wanted to be engaged again, we weren't going see each other for months."

    Kristin said she was shocked by the razzing Jay has been subjected to this week over the story.

    "He is [getting hammered]!" she said, explaining why she felt compelled to defend her beau. "I feel like sports writers are worse than tabloids - it's kind of crazy. They're not going to give him a break on this!

    "He's a really great guy - he just gets a bad rap here and there," she added. "People are making it a big deal when it's really not at all."
