Brittany Cartwright, known for her role on the reality TV show “Vanderpump Rules,” recently shared a cryptic message on her Instagram Story following her separation from her husband, Jax Taylor. The message read, “If a woman holds the power to create life, she also holds the power to create the life she wants.” This comes after Cartwright revealed on their podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany,” that they had decided to take time apart after almost five years of marriage.
In the podcast episode, Cartwright opened up about the difficulties they had faced in their marriage, saying, “Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year.” She explained that she made the decision to move into another home for the sake of her mental health and to create some space between them.
However, Taylor contradicted Cartwright’s statement and told Page Six that they were still living together. He claimed that she had been in another house for a while but had returned. He emphasized that they were not filing for divorce and that they were just two people hitting a 10-year mark in their marriage.
Despite Taylor’s claims, a source close to the couple confirmed to Page Six that Cartwright was indeed moving into a new rental after the lease on her previous short-term rental ended. They also revealed that Cartwright and Taylor had been living separately for about a month and were not on a path to reconciliation.
The timing of their split coincides with their upcoming reality TV show, “The Valley,” which is set to premiere on March 19. This led fans to speculate whether their separation was a publicity stunt. However, a representative for the couple denied any connection between their marital issues and PR.
Cartwright and Taylor tied the knot in June 2019 after dating for four years. Their wedding was featured on “Vanderpump Rules.” They left the show in 2020 and welcomed their son, Cruz, in April 2021. Despite their separation, the couple is reportedly amicably co-parenting their son.
As fans eagerly await the premiere of “The Valley,” they will undoubtedly be curious to see how Cartwright and Taylor navigate their separation while continuing to work together on the reality TV show. Only time will tell what the future holds for this once-beloved couple.
