Brittany Cartwright recently shared her thoughts on her separation from Jax Taylor, reflecting on their journey and her hopes for reconciliation. The reality TV star, who rose to fame on Vanderpump Rules, spoke candidly about her emotions and life changes during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.
Trying to Save the Marriage
Brittany revealed that she had initially hoped she and Jax could work things out. “I thought we would be able to get back to a place where we could probably get back together,” she explained. However, after months of reflection and separation, Brittany made the difficult decision to file for divorce in August 2024, officially ending their nine-year relationship.
The pair, who share a three-year-old son, Cruz, started dating in 2015 and were married in 2019. While their marriage had its ups and downs, Brittany remained committed to keeping their family together until it became clear the relationship wouldn’t recover.
Roller-Coaster of Emotions
Brittany spoke about the emotional toll of the separation, calling it a “roller-coaster” of ups and downs. Despite the challenges, she expressed confidence in her decision to move forward. “I’ve gotten so much stronger throughout all of this,” she shared, adding that she feels empowered by her choice. She also noted that her experience will likely resonate with many others who have gone through similar struggles.
Co-Parenting With Jax
When it comes to co-parenting their son, Cruz, Brittany said that things are going relatively well. She praised Jax as a great father, though she was frank about their challenges as a couple. “Jax is a great dad [but] a horrible husband,” she said, adding that despite their difficulties, he’s always there for their son.
Brittany is now adjusting to life as a single mother, a new chapter she describes as both “scary” and a “brand-new journey.” She remains focused on Cruz, who has been her rock throughout the process.
Along with navigating her new life as a single mom, Brittany is also focused on personal growth. She has been open about her struggles with body image since giving birth and recently partnered with AirSculpt to help her regain her confidence. Brittany shared that she’s already seeing positive results and is getting her “sparkle back.”
