NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has a brand new Chicago penthouse -- BUT it seems he's not laying down any permanent Chitown roots ... choosing to rent, rather than buy the million dollar pad.
The Chicago Bears star, whose $30 million contract expires in two seasons, is the proud new tenant of a 2,000 sq. ft, 3-bdrm, 3-bath condo at the very top of a Chicago high-rise.
His swanky new crib also boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and panoramic city views ... so next time he's benched with a broken thumb he'll have plenty to stare at.
The apartment would sell for a shade over a million dollars -- but Cutler, who is expecting a baby with fiancée Kristin Cavallari, is shelling out around $6,100 a month in rent for the sleek, but not-so-permanent digs.
Kristin Cavallari has some problems back on the home front ... because her family has officially lost their ocean-front mansion featured on "Laguna Beach" after falling behind on mortgage payments.
The house is INSANE -- 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, ridiculous infinity pool, dry sauna, wine cellar, yoga room and some of the sickest beach views you've ever seen in your life.
But TMZ has learned ... the bank recently foreclosed on the property because, according to official documents, KC's father Dennis failed to make payments on the $7,599,458.66 he owed on the place.
And now it's too late for the Cavallari's to get the place back ... because the house was sold at a public auction just last month for $6.1 mil.
Kristin Cavallari is now eating for 2 ... or maybe 3 or 4 -- because she spent FIVE grueling hours at a Cheesecake Factory last night! Then again, she could just be working.

If you were surprised to hear Kristin Cavallari was pregnant with Jay Cutler's baby, you're not the only one -- the couple themselves were shocked by the news ... TMZ has learned.
Jay and Kristin announced yesterday they were with child -- following a crazy few months where they broke off their engagement, only to announce it was back on.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, K&Jay had discussed the possibility of kids -- but planned to start cranking 'em out in a few years ... not any time soon.
But shocking as it was, we're told they're thrilled with the news ... renewing their commitment more than ever to making their relationship work.

Kristin Cavallari served her country with pride last night ... looking smokin' hot for her date at the Marine Corps Ball in Temecula, CA.
The MTV star kept her promise to Lance Cpl. Jonathan Burkett ... after she accepted his Twitter invite a while back ... and she didn't disappoint.
We're told Kristin was a helluva date -- taking pictures with anyone who asked. KC didn't try to pull any of that Hollywood early exit crap -- we're told she stayed at the party until they shut the place down.
Burkett tells us, "[Kristin] was awesome for sure. She looked very beautiful. [Jay] Cutler is a lucky guy."
Less than three months after breaking off their engagement at the VERY last minute, Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler were seen holding hands in L.A. today.
Pretty shocking they would reconnect ... especially because Kristin had already taken pictures IN HER WEDDING GOWN when the two suddenly called it quits.
But the Chicago Bears quarterback was spotted in the audience at "Dancing with the Stars" last night ... and now, some P.D.A. in front of the photogs.
Kristin Cavallari has one less thing to worry about when she hits up the Marine Corps Ball with Jonathan Burkett -- his mother is on board.
As TMZ first reported, Cavallari accepted Burkett's Twitter invitation to the event in San Diego in November. Burkett's mom tells TMZ she's not sure why her son chose KC, but she thinks it was a "cool" and "gutsy" thing to do.
She tells us, "I think she is super nice for accepting. It’s such a neat thing for a celebrity to do. Not only for Jonathan, but it will be nice for all the guys around him. It makes me so happy."
