Brittany Cartwright recently opened up about the moment that led her to separate from her husband, Jax Taylor, after five years of marriage. She described a horrible fight they had that made her realize everything that was wrong in their relationship and led her to her breaking point. She mentioned that it is difficult for a woman to come back from such a breaking point and referred to their marriage as a very toxic situation that she needed to remove herself from.
The catalyst for their separation was a fight that occurred after Cartwright went out with fellow Bravolebrity Kristen Doute. Taylor had made up a story in his head and started a fight over something that never happened, leading to further issues in their relationship. Cartwright shared that they fought about everything and that she needed to separate herself from the toxicity of their marriage. Despite still being separated and living in an Airbnb, Cartwright praised Taylor as a great father and mentioned that co-parenting their son, Cruz, is their main priority.
Regarding rumors of infidelity, Cartwright expressed doubt that Taylor cheated on her, mentioning that they did their due diligence to ensure that it wasn’t true. This is not the first time infidelity has come up in their relationship, as Taylor had cheated on Cartwright in 2017. Despite their past issues, they had tied the knot in 2019, but recently announced that they were taking time apart on their podcast in February. While some speculated that the split was a publicity stunt ahead of their show’s premiere, their representative clarified that it was not PR related.
Following their separation announcement, Cartwright was seen moving into a rental home after her previous short-term lease expired. Sources close to Cartwright mentioned that she was not on a path to reconciliation with Taylor and was taking steps to move out of their shared home. However, Taylor had a more positive outlook, claiming that they were still together and living under the same roof. Cartwright even removed Taylor’s last name from her Instagram bio, signaling a significant change in their relationship.
Despite the challenges in their marriage, Cartwright praised Taylor as a great father to Cruz and emphasized that their son’s well-being is their main priority. Their separation was a result of a build-up of issues and a breaking point that Cartwright reached after a particularly bad fight with Taylor. While the future of their relationship remains uncertain, both Cartwright and Taylor continue to focus on co-parenting and ensuring the best for their son. Only time will tell what lies ahead for the former reality TV couple.
